Simple Spicy Shrimp

Yesterday, Bry & I headed to a theater 45 minutes from our house for a play.  It was pretty good.  Before we left though, we decided to make a quick dinner.  Bry ended up making chili and I had eggs.  Nothing wrong with breakfast for dinner! 

Cell phone quality is weird sometimes when I use the mirror feature on my iPhone
Today, we had to take Bry’s grandmother to the dentist down town.  We were able to walk around Drexel University’s campus for a while.  Bry wanted to see a food truck that was featured on the Food Network, but we couldn’t find it.  Considering today is a Saturday, we just figured it wasn’t there during the weekends.  The area was great for walking around and checking out some places Bry had never seen (30th Street Station). 
 
 
Here is what dinner looked like for us tonight.

Ingredients:
2 dozen raw shrimp (deveined & peeled)

2 tbsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
  • Place a large frying pan on the stove on medium heat with approximately 2 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Add 1 tbsp. of crushed red pepper and 1 tsp. garlic powder to the hot pan
  • Add all shrimp to pan

  • Flip shrimp and cook for another 3-4 minutes*
  • Turn off heat and plate your shrimpies!
  • Add extra crushed red pepper for an even spicier dish

*I like my shrimp WELL done. Almost rubbery.  If you like your shrimp not so well-done, cook for a minute or so less.

That sounds delish Molly! I've never had any sort of blueberry sauce! Sounds great though, and very unique.
