Candy Meat

Let me just start out with wow. haha. This is an old school one that I have not had sense I was a child.
Cooking this, the aroma and taste brought me straight back to my childhood of playing in the pool, coming inside and stuffing our faces with this stuff.

Its super simple, basic and unbelievably sexy. It looks weird, smells weird but the taste is just amazing. ha!


Ingredients-
Domino Light Brown Sugar
Honey
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
Can of Spam


Prep-
Slice the brick of meat in like quarter inch slices (you should get about 10ish slices out of a can)
Lay them out on a cookie sheet COVERED IN FOIL. (because what it leaves on there you'll never get it off the pan.)
Put some of the brown sugar in a bowl (maybe 1/2 cup) with a good squirt of honey.
Add hot as it gets water from your sink(just a splash) and stir.
Your wanting it to be a heavy syrup consistency.


Cooking-
Cook mac&cheese from box instructions.
Once you have your noodles in the water put your oven on broil and put sauce on top of meat. Place on top rack.
cook until sugars are caramelized(medium brown)
Take meat out and flip.
Add more sauce and stick them right back in there.
Cook until caramelized. This should time out perfect with your mac&cheese.
Plate food and don't get addicted.

Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Fajita's are one of my all time favorites because its Super Simple, largely proportioned and very few ingredients.
They are sweet from the sauteed peppers, sexy onions and tangy from the chicken and seasonings.
Ive tried Many fajita seasonings and this .88 Cent packet from the grocery is BY FAR the best. Although it does have a recipe on the back of the packet that looks similar to mine, its not mine and it sucks. You have to do it Simple style.(was that catch phrase trying to hard? I think so, but I'm still going for it)Ingredients-
1 pack(8ct) Large White Tortillas
Boneless Skinless Chicken breast(4lb bag 7$)
2 medium size Yellow onion(or 1 huge one)
3 bell peppers (I prefer 2 red,1 yellow)
1 McCormick Fajita Mix
Prep-
Slice up your peppers and onions(be sure to take out the seeds and all center stuff of your peppers and the cores of your onions)
Thaw 3ish chicken breast and cut into SMALL bite size pieces(they swell twice as large after cooked!)


Cooking-
In Large skillet heat a drizzle of olive oil on pretty much high. Toss in chicken and cook until done (about 4ish minutes)
Sprinkle half of your seasoning packet onto chicken and stir.
Add the other half to 1/4 cup of hot water and mix.
Throw your veggies on top of chicken and pour your seasoning mix on top of all that Sexy.
Stirring occasionally cook until veggies are soft. (about 7 minutes)
Serve on warm tortillas.

Tortillas-
Heating the tortillas...If you have an electric stove the best way to heat is turning the burner on medium and running the tortillas directly across the burner until hot.
The other option is wrapping tortillas in damp paper towel and microwaving until warm(about 20 seconds)

Super Simple BBQ Shrimp

This BBQ Shrimp Recipe has been a favorite in my family sense the first day we found it only god knows where. The point is, Its here and its Sexy and Full of Flavor.

The Sweet and salty goes perfect with the rich flavor of the shrimp and butter. Through the days Ive been constantly thinking of what simply cooked meal im going to blog next. I have a good bit of them up my sleeve.
The thing I did not expect to realize is that even though these meals are simple and have Very Few ingredients they are packed with complex flavors.
Just walking through the grocery store I find myself looking at every cheap protein and figuring out what I can do with it.
I love the learning experience im going through with attempting to teach.



Ingredients-
Sea Best-Easy peel raw shrimp 26/30ct(17$)
Fleischmann's original butter (this brand is very important)
Black pepper
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
Loaf of french bread(optional,I don't but have before and it was great)


Prep-

Thaw out shrimp and put in 13x9 glass pan with shells still on. Just one layer of shrimp,do not stack.
(if doing a whole bag,you'll need two 13x9 pans)

Fill pan with Worcestershire Sauce half way up shrimp.(A bit more than one larger bottle of it if your doing two pans)
Cover shrimp with pepper(when you think its alot of pepper...add a little more.)
Add One and a Half sticks of butter per pan. Just slice with butter knife and evenly throw it around the pan.

Cooking-
Cook in oven on 375F for about 7 mins.
Take out and flip all shrimp with fork.
Place back in oven for about 8 mins or until all shrimp are pinkish orange,firm and all tails are curled.


For Bread-

Proper Eating Technique-
Put shrimp in bowl with a Good amount of juice on top. Put bowl on top of plate for a trash plate for the shells.
