Pesto Shrimp

Cajun French: la prune (la prūn) – plum

 

Most of our recipes are made from “starch”, but sometimes we have prepared items that must be used.  We do not like to throw out anything including prepared foods.  In walks Pesto and we must use it somehow, somewhere, in something, etc.  The pesto had already been used on pizza, but we still had half a bottle left.  Shrimp was on the menu and the pesto became a marinade.  The blending of flavors became a simple supper of shrimp with fresh plum and avocado.  This is a great summer evening meal!

Veggie Rice

Cajun French:  le riz (lu ree) – rice

 

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.  What to do with that little bit of leftovers; combine them and make a great side dish.  Rice is a staple in Cajun kitchens and at Cajun meals yet sometimes there is just a little rice left, not enough for one serving much less for a family.  When that happens we just see what other vegetables we have and start combining and soon we have Veggie Rice.  This is a quick, easy, and time saving dish.
