Honey Lime Shrimp

Honey Lime Shrimp

serves 2

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T honey
juice of one small lime, or half a large lime (2-3 T)
zest of one small lime, or half a large lime
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1.) In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.

2.) Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.

3.) When you’re ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.)

4.) Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch. Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink. Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!

Shrimp: they’re the fruit of the sea!

(Some have suggested adding tequila to the marinade.)

Pretzel Hugs

So easy too!

 

Pretzel Hugs

1 bag Hershey's kisses HUGS
1 lb bag pretzel squares
Parchment paper
Cookie sheet


Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place wax paper on cookie sheet. Place a single layer of pretzel squares onto the wax paper. Top each pretzel with one hug. Place in the oven for 2-3 minutes....YES just 2-3 minutes. You want the hug to be a little glossy, but not melted. If they melt, you will have a big mess! Remove from oven, let sit for 1-2 more minutes to let the hug soften a little more. Top each hug with another pretzel square. Place the pretzels in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let cool and firm. You can let them cool at room temp but will take longer to do so. These are also good with any of the kisses....may try with the pumpkin spice flavored kisses next!

Carmelitas

Carmelitas

Carmelitas    (Good recipe for the Holidays)


32 caramel squares, unwrapped
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips


Combine caramels and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until completely smooth; set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, and baking soda.

Pat half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of an 8x8" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over crust. Pour caramel mixture over chocolate chips. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture over caramel.

Return to oven and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.

*A stint in the fridge will help them cool off, if you're pinched for time. They shouldn't be served cold, but all of that molten caramel takes a long time to cool down. They should be stored and served at room temperature.

**If you want to use homemade or store-bought caramel sauce in place of the caramel/cream mixture, use 1 1/4 cups of sauce.

***To make a 9"x13" version, simply double the amounts.
