This wanted to be over grits, but we didn't have enough so it went over chips and became nachos. Not a bad compromise!
1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined save shells 1 onion diced save garbage parts 1 jalapeno diced - test for heat and use as much or as little as you like 1 small head broccoli - gotta work in as many veggies as you can, save the stuff you cut off 1 big handful (about half a package) spinach 1 can black beans 3 cloves garlic minced- save skins and any baby cloves that pop off 1 lime- zest and juice 2 teaspoons cumin seed 1 teaspoon coriander 1 teaspoon oregano Cilantro whole peppercorns olive oil Start by throwing the shrimp shells and garbage parts of all the veggies, along with the peppercorns and baby garlic cloves, in a pot. Cover with water and simmer on low heat while you do the rest. Put shrimp in a bowl Add the zest and juice of the lime, the cumin seed, coriander and oregano. Stir well and let marinate. In a large pot, heat oil and throw in onion broccoli and jalapeno. Sauté' until the onion is translucent and everything starts to turn golden around the edges. Add garlic and stir until it smells yummy. Add spinach. Once all of that is married and happy, pull everything out into a bowl. Add more olive oil and lay the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about a minute. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the vegetables back in. Add spinach and beans. Strain the solids out of the shrimp stock and add the liquid to the big pot. Stir on warm heat to reduce the stock and to let all of the ingredients get friendly. To serve, we lay tortilla chips down in a bowl (it's will be soupy so a plate would be bad) Spoon the yumminess over the ships. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and hot sauce if it's not hot enough. Enjoy!

AuthorI'm not a chef. I have no training. I just really like food. I grew up eating processed food and over time, as a grown up, decided I wanted to cook the kinds of foods I got in restaurants. I have one problem. The doctor put me on a low sodium diet. You'll find there very little if any salt/sodium in this recipes. Just add to your own taste. I will probably do things wrong/differently on this website, but hopefully we'll all learn from each other! Archives
