Digging Through the Kitchen

I don't know about you, but the question 'What's for dinner?' is the worst! I'll be the first to admit we are terrible about planning meals ahead of time and we aren't really prepared to make anything. Although we do have those nights that we dig through the cupboards and refrigerator to see what we can create instead of running to the store every night.

This night was no different. I dug through the freezer to find salmon, shrimp, chicken, or tuna. Dug through the fridge to find peppers and half an onion. After digging I headed to Pinterest, and searched bell pepper recipes. The first few I saw were stuffed peppers, which we love to make, but wasn't feeling those at the moment. Then I found One Sheet Shrimp Fajitas from Number 2 Pencil. Her pictures looked delicious, and it also looked quick and easy. You'd be surprised I did follow the recipe pretty closely.

Depending on your ingredients and what you have in your house you can modify this recipe very easily.

Ingredients: (my version. To check out Number 2 Pencil's page the link is at the bottom)

1 yellow bell pepper

1 red bell pepper

1 green bell pepper (Number 2 Pencil's recipe called for orange instead of green)

1/2 red onion

1 lb uncooked shrimp

2 teaspoons of chili powder

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin

Cilantro (her recipe called for fresh, but let's be real, who has fresh just in their fridge)

Lime wedges

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

1. Thinly slice all peppers and onions.

2. In a bowl mix together shrimp, peppers and onions along with all seasonings.

3. Spread mixture along baking sheet.

4. Cook for 8 minutes, mix around and broil for 2 more minutes to make sure shrimp is fully cooked.

5. Squeeze lime juice over the entire pan, and enjoy!

Our shrimp fajitas quickly turned into Shrimp tacos when we realized we didn't have any tortillas. :)

Be creative when you're in the kitchen!

Anyone have any advice or any go to recipes?
