Green Beans and Shrimp

Green Beans and Shrimp

Finally, December is here! I am excited for all the wonderful dishes I am about to cook this month. Before we know it, it will be a new year! So many things are happening at once, many changes, many beginnings, I am looking forward to it.

Well, I might as well be well-nourished to tackle everything.

Here's my recipe for today;

Pancit Canton Guisado - Sauteed Vegetable with Noodles

Pancit Canton Guisado

I can't believe that November is almost over. It's almost four months since I started experimenting in the kitchen. Not that I do not know how to cook, I do. Only when I came to America, my opportunity exploded into a thousand different proportion that I do not really know where to start, so I just have to deal with what I can and with what I have.

Salt and Pepper Shrimp

I have not been able to post as much lately, as much as I want to. Things are getting crazy out there!

Okay now, I was hungry, I need a quick fix of quick food, and all I have in the fridge are jumbo shrimp and chicken? Now, what am I going to do with that? Salt and pepper shrimp!

The salt and spiciness drives the spike out of this recipe. It was just too good, my mouth waters as I type along the ingredients for this recipe.

Grilled Prawns with Avocado Salad

Another cooking adventure I took on was about shrimps. I used to cook shrimp and they ALWAYS came out rubbery. Yes, you read that right. I always thought that you have to cook them longer you know. AND THEN, I just learned that you have to cook them in as little as 2-3 minutes so they will NOT come out rubbery AT ALL.

This was a surprise because I DID NOT ever imagined that the shrimp and avocado salad could come out good together. EVER.

Parmesan Crusted Shrimp

Ahhh, the shrimp. This is also one of those dishes that I made for my sister's birthday. Sadly, it didn't last very long. It almost didn't made its presence at the dinner table. I don't know if the cooking is really that good (Can you sense some false humility there?) or they just really like shrimps. Aherm.

Chickie-Shrimp in Mixed Green Bean Stir-Fry

I rarely cook vegetables that requires stir-fry because I prefer them baked, blanched, steamed or anything on that level. BUT since this looks so good and I had everything as well, I decided to take it into consideration, which I didn't regret and I WILL definitely cook it again. A MUST TRY!

Sweet Chili Stir-Fried Shrimp

I found this recipe from a fellow blogger who has a knack of cooking Asian foods, and I happen to like sea foods for that matter. This is really easy and the aroma is just...mouth watering.

Stir Fried Angel Hair Pasta Noodles

One of those days where I just have to get 'crazy' over a recipe or something. I was looking for a vermicelli noodle but we don't have any, so I decided to use the angel hair pasta and tried to make it work. I am glad that I did just that because the flavor was just amazing.
