Watcha Cookin’ - Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

I can not for the life of me figure out where I got this recipe. I printed it up a while back and no where does it say where it’s from.

Anywho it’s awesome and it you like Bonefish’s bang bang shrimp you will love this.

You need:

For the Spice Mayo

1/2 cup of Mayo

1/4 cup Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (Or just chili sauce)

2-4 tsp sriracha hot sauce

1 tsp peanut butter

In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients.

For the shrimp

1 lb raw shrimp, pealed & deveined, tailed removed. (you can also get the cooked ones cause they are literally in the pan for such a short amount of time)

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1 cup corn starch

2 eggs

6 tbsp canola or vegetable oil

In large bowl toss the shrimp with the salt, pepper & garlic powder.

Place corn starch in shallow dish and lightly whisk two eggs together in another shallow dish to create a egg wash. Dip each shrimp in corn starch to coat, then dip in egg wash and set aside. (I do this all while the oil is hot in a kind of assembly line)

Heat oil in a large skillet on high heat. When the oil is hot carefully add the shrimp. Cook 30 second to 1 minute per side until crispy (C shape means they are done). You may need to cook these in a couple batches. Don’t over crowd the pan.

Remove shrimp onto a paper towel lined plate.

At this point you can add the shrimp to the spicy mayo or you can have the spicy mayo on the side. I like to let everyone add how much they want to their tacos.

Then add whatever you like to a flour tortilla. I like lettuce or coleslaw you get in the bags and cheese on mine.

So Watcha Cookin’??

2 cups cheddar cheese.

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9 x 13 dish.

In a large bowl combine chicken soup, sour cream, Ro-tel, black beans, taco seasoning and chicken. Set aside.

Crush chips (I did as they did and just crushed as I went) and spread half of the bag on the bottom of the pan. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the chips. Top with 1 cup of cheese. Repeat layers.

Bake for 3o minutes.

 

It tastes like a burrito to me and I loved it!!

Watcha Cookin’ Mississippi Roast

I got this recipe for Mississippi Roast from Berge Central’s blog who got the recipe from Laurie’s Life’s blog.

It could be the easiest thing I have ever made and it tasted so good and went so fast that I only got pics of the left overs. You have too make this!!

Place one tender chuck roast in crock pot.

Cover with Hidden Valley Ranch Packet or homemade. (I use the dry portion of this recipe Ranch Seasoning.)

Cover with Packet of McCormick Aus Jus mix packet or brown gravy mix packet.

Place a stick of butter on top of all of that. (I slice mine into pieces and lay it on top)

Place 4-5 Pepperoncini peppers on top.

Let Cook on low for 8 hours.

We shredded it up and ate in with Garlie Naan bread. It was sooo good!!!

I have also made this with a pork butt it just needs to cook like 9 hours or until the meat is 190 degrees so you can make pulled pork sandwiches.

Watcha Cookin’?

Watcha Cookin’

I know I did a chicken n dumplings recipe last week but my son wanted me to make it again but this time the creamy version he wanted the basic cracker barrel copycat version.

I found this on Food.com

I changed a couple things like I always do.

Instead of 2 quarts of water I used 1 qt water & 1 qt chicken stock.

Since I used some chicken stock I only added in 1 tsp salt and then just tasted it at the end to see if more was needed.

I also just used 4 chicken breasts instead of a frying chicken cause that is what I had on hand.

I used really cold butter that I cut up and put in the freezer in place of the shortening.

Again my son ate on it the next day til it was gone.

That boy loves him some chicken n dumplin’s!!

Creamy Chicken N Dumplings by 3 boys unprocessed

The couple things I did different from the original recipe was I omitted the carrots & celery cause ya’ll know my situation with picky eaters in my house. I added in a little celery seed so I would still have that flavor though. I also replaced the whole milk with 2% because I can not tolerate whole milk and neither can my son.

It turned out perfect and my son literally ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day.
