Louisiana Creole Shrimp

I think I might be obsessed with Costco’s raw, frozen, peeled and deveined shrimpys.

Louisiana Creole Shrimp | Cherry JasmineYes, I call them shrimpys.  For real.

Because they’re shrimply so cute and delicious, I just can’t stand it.  I mean, there is darn-near nothin’ you can’t do with these babies!

And, you will reallllly love them when you need a simple and easy throw-together recipe.  Like this one.

So, I want to share them with you because they are so easy to make a for weekday meal and your family will think you’re a culinary genius!

If you like spicy, I think you’ll love the way the onion, green pepper, hot sauce, red pepper flakes and chili powder come together to tantalize your tongue!

I needed this today, because…I spent aaalllll day messing with my camera, updating the firmware no less!  Which I didn’t even know I was supposed to do, by the way.  Let me tell you – it took me forever!

Don’t get me wrong…it wasn’t hard or anything, but because I got the tar scared out of me with the H-U-G-E warning that said “YOU can’t un-do this action!  It must be sent for service if update is not successful!”  I took that very personally.

And well, I won’t lie to you.  It scared the livin’ daylights outta me, and so I very gingerly read each.and.every.instruction. to make sure I didn’t screw it up.  Which included, mind you, checking every single lens I had, that pertained to ‘so-said-firmware’ that I was cross-your-fingers updating.

Pressure?  You think???

Now…I ask you…who else does this?

Thank God for simple recipes!  I’m not sure I could handle much more pressure today.
