Shrimp Made Easy

Open-Faced Shrimp Sandwiches:

As a young adult who barely has time to cook I often find it difficult to add a lot of variety to my diet. This especially comes in the way of protein due to various factors such as cost and time. If you find yourself in a similar situation, or just want to try and new recipe, next time you go grocery shopping pay attention to when shrimp goes on sale. It is an easy way to add variety to your choices of protein that isn't as strong in seafood flavors as fish.


Ingredients:
1/2 lb. of shrimp
1 yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1tbsp. of butter
olive oil
salt
pepper
1 bag of shredded mozzarella cheese
(some dried basil or oregano if desired)

To start in a large saucepan sauté yellow and orange bell peppers and onion in olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper. Once the onions and bell peppers are softened add in shrimp. Add in garlic, and a pinch of garlic poweder as well. Addition salt and pepper may be needed at this time. Once the shrimp are fully cooked, markey by their turning pink in color and gaining a firmer texture, prepare your pan for the oven. 

Turn the oven onto broil and spread a piece of aluminum foil over a baking pan. On the pan, coat two slices of sourdough bread with olive oil and vinegar. This will add a nice flavor to the bread. Then sprinkle on the shrimp mix that you made and top with lots of shredded mozzarella cheese. Stick the whole thing in the oven until the bread is lightly browned around the outside and the cheese is melted. Then Enjoy! 

This would pair nicely with a light arugala salad.
