A diary of my pursuits of all things flavorful! I'll share my passion for cooking, thoughts on recipes and ingredients, funny stories about disasters turned into edible delights, and anything else that pops up in my general stream of consciousness.

Another No-Recipe Meal
Last night I started with the Trader Joe's Ciabatta Flatbread and some desire for Mexican flavors. Next I pulled together a quick homemade salsa with black beans, orange bell pepper, red onion, garlic, jalapeno, drained canned diced fire roasted tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice.
After that I marinated shrimp in lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic and jalapeno. Sauteed the shrimp quickly in hot pan.
Brushed the flatbread with olive oil, spread the salsa over the bread, topped with shrimp sprinkled with chopped scallions and cilantro then shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Awesome: Mexican Shrimp Pizza!
Pulled out of the oven added more chopped Scallions and Cilantro!
On the side we had Corn, Tomato, Cucumber, Radish & Avocado Salad over Romaine.
Recipe free, but a little bit labor intensive, yet a great light summer dinner! Worth the effort, leftovers very welcome for lunch today! The leftover salad was served like a salsa with grilled chicken breasts for tonights dinner.
