BirchBox




Ok so this isnt food related...BUT....after reading some reviews....food was included as one of the items in a recent box that another blogger shared so I think it counts;) Above is an example of what you will receive. Check out www.birchbox.com. Its only $10 a mth with free shipping and handling! Can't beat that. I get my first box mid September and will definitely share my review of the goodies I receive. Sooo exciting. Time to pamper myself:) I deserve it!

~ Cajun Shrimp ~

This is a super easy recipe! This isnt my pic but this is what the shrimp look like once you make them:) I added the shrimp to pasta with a jar of alfredo sauce and a can of mushrooms! Gotta get the veggies in somehow;)

1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:

  1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat.
  2. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until hot.
  3. Add shrimp; saute 4- 5 minutes or until shrimp are done.
