Roasted Shrimp and Winter Vegetables





From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...At this time of year I seek out recipes that are fast and easy to make. I found this this simple, but delicious, dish while paging through, a new to me, blog called Savour Fare. I really enjoyed this meal and I think you will too.  I simplified the recipe a bit by using pre-bagged florets and shrimp that were ready to be cooked. I also increased the cooking times slightly to insure the vegetables were done to our taste and I cut back, just a bit, on the amount of pepper used to make this nicely spiced dish. This is a terrific recipe to have in the hopper for the days that lead up to the holidays. It took about 10 minutes to put this meal together and it cooks in less than a half hour. I'm happy to share the recipe with you and I hope will give it a try.

Well.. This looked delightful and I was going to make it.. but I have a problem.. I rarely follow recipes and while I would have this one, M'honey doesnt like cumin and I doubt he likes coriander so I changed it up a bit. I used broc, caulif, garlic, red onion, & snow peas, and I covered them in olive oil with some miso & sesame and shoyu salad dressings, red pepper flakes & black pepper. Baked as directed, then added a bag of Schwans Garlic shrimp with a bag of plain shrimps & followed the directions as written. Ohhh MY! YUMMMM.. I cant wait for lunch tomorrow. :) Thanks for a great recipe and a great way to make this.
