Jerk Shrimp and Mango Flatbread
Publix has been offering the new Flatout flatbreads for sale BOGO for a few weeks now. I am having so much fun creating easy dinners out of these.
Just this weekend I was talking to a friend who said she didn’t have time to cook dinner. I pointed her towards the idea of flatbreads in general. In about 15 minutes you can have dinner on the table. What restaurant can you go to and get dinner in 15 minutes? Even takeout takes longer than 15 minutes. There are some days when I don’t get home until 7 or 8pm and on days like that I need to have an easy meal to turn to.
I love the sweet mango flavor next to the slightly jerky shrimp. And well, you know I love goat cheese! These flatbreads made a great weeknight dinner.

Jerk Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa for #WeekdaySupper
Shrimp and fish tacos are both my absolute favorite taco, if there is a seafood taco on the menu I am almost guaranteed to order it. They are also one of my favorite tacos to make at home because they are so quick to cook.
These tacos make the perfect Weeknight Supper because they are done in less than 10 minutes. I actually used mini precooked shrimp and just warmed them up in the skillet with the jerk seasoning, but uncooked shrimp will only take a few minutes longer. Yesterday I posted a recipe for my own jerk seasoning, but you can use store bought if you prefer.
Use whatever size shrimp is on sale. I prefer smaller shrimp for tacos, but these mini shrimp were a little too small. Small to medium is usually a pretty good size.
Mangoes, avocados, red peppers, and onion make this a delicious chunky salsa. It is so yummy I may have been found in the kitchen eating it with a spoon. I have always liked mangoes, but I have a new obsession with the yellow Ataulfo (honey) mangoes. They are juicy and sweet. I have been eating them like crazy this year. Costco usually has a 6 pack for around $5.50. Every time I go they just happen to jump into my cart.

Brown Butter Shrimp Risotto
I finally did it, I made risotto! I’ve never been in a huge rush to make this dish because frankly I’m not a huge risotto fan. Even after making it myself I’m not so sure it’s worth the effort.
I prefer great food with minimal effort and risotto is sure not one of those dishes. If you have the time and are looking for a little arm exercise then it is fun to be able to say you have made it. Now that you know you probably won’t be seeing any more risotto recipes on here to a while go ahead and enjoy this one.
I made this a few weeks ago on a Friday. I like to make fancier meals on Friday nights, which is why I saved this post for Friday. There is something nice about starting off the weekend with a fancy dinner and a glass of wine.

Individual Shrimp Caesar Salad Pizzas for #WeedaySupper with #SauteExpress
I’m back, to bring you another tasty #WeekdaySupper. This one compliments of Land O Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starter. Remember that Chicken Florentine Pasta I posted last week? Yeah the one with that new butter, olive oil, and herb square. These little squares leave a delicious scent wafting through your house and your loved ones think you spent hours preparing dinner, but don’t let them in on our little secret, that it only took minutes.
Seriously every time I put one of these in a pan my husband comes in to tell me how good it smells. Usually I don’t get the oohs and aahs from him until he is eating, but the scent in the house alone has him salivating in the kitchen waiting for dinner to be ready.
After seeing a few chicken caesar salad pizza recipe I was intrigued. I wanted to try my own version, but of course put my own spin on it.
Now to share with you the easiest and fastest recipe I have ever made. Even with the prep I think dinner was on the table in 15 minutes. That never happens. Usually I spend 15 minutes alone on the prep then another 20-40 minutes cooking dinner.

Shrimp with Orzo
This shrimp with orzo is one of those easy weeknight meals that tastes like a million bucks. What is your go to dish when you are in a time crunch? I love cooking with shrimp because it cooks so darn quick. Just a few minutes and you have a tasty dinner.
Recently I have had a few kitchen failures. Please tell me it happens to us all. We sit down to dinner and I can’t help but think this dish is missing something. I can’t quite pinpoint what it is so until then those recipes are put on the backburner. But oh my this shrimp was not one of them. My mouth is watering just looking at the pictures again. The combination of tomato, feta, and cilantro is a match made in shrimp heaven. Plus who doesn’t like orzo. It is such a versatile pasta that I always try to have a box in the pantry. You can toss some in soup, make casseroles, or delish shrimp dishes like this one.
I happen to be a huge cilantro fan and even though it might sound like an odd combination it works wonderfully in this dish. If you are on the “cilantro tastes like soap” side then you may substitute fresh basil or another herb.
