It is one of those days that I have no real planned dish for lunch. When a vendor offered me his shrimp for a good price, I just decided to take it and make up my mind later what dish to do with it.
I am already familiar with shrimp on garlic butter sauce and since I got two children who are quite picky with foods, I decided to make a dish that they are already familiar with but added a little twist to make it more exciting.
I decided to marinade and cook it with Sprite soda this time. I also added chopped long green chili pepper (not too much), since I always like the contrast of spicy and sweet tastes. I used a lot more garlic today, that is just my personal preference for the day. I always use only 1 head of medium-sized garlic but I decided to use one and a half for today. I just have more cravings for brown toasted garlic and this has nothing to do with the overall taste of the dish. I just use what ingredients that are already available in our kitchen. So here is how it goes that day.
My available ingredients are:
- 3 tablespoonfuls of Margarine (butter is a better option)
- 1 to 2 lbs of washed clean shrimp.
- 1 and a half head of garlic
- 1 cup of Sprite soda
- one half long green chili pepper chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
- Marinate shrimp with Sprite for about 20 minutes
- Heat the pan and add margarine until it melts.
- Add the garlic and toast until light brown.
- Put in the shrimp with the Sprite marinade.
- Cook until shrimp turns orange.
- Add the chopped long green chili pepper.
- Season with black pepper and salt.
- Add parsley and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Serve while hot. Enjoy!
