Shrimp Burritos with Spicy Old Bay Mayo


Burritos are one of the perfect foods. No, don’t ask me to list them all. They are packed with flavor, very customizable, and super portable. This one has my most favorite spice mix in the world – Old Bay. Seriously. Ask me about Old Bay and Ohio sometime.

Ingredients

· ½ c. mayo
· 1 T. siracha
· ½ t. Old Bay
· 1 T. olive oil
· ½ green pepper, diced
· ½ yellow onion, diced
· 1 T. garlic, minced
· ½ t. chili powder
· ½ t. cumin
· 1 lb. shrimp
· 1 c. cooked white rice
· 8 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
· 4 burrito sized tortillas
· Pico, Mexican cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, sliced jalapenos, more Old Bay

Roll it up

1. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, siracha and Old Bay. Set aside.

2. Heat up the oil In a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the green pepper, onion and garlic. Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin and stir, mixing the spices and vegetables together. Cook until the onions are just softened – about 3 minutes.

3. Add the shrimp and stir, coating the shrimp with the spices and veggies. Cover and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring a couple of times while cooking.

4. As the shrimp cooking, set up your assembly area.

5. Warm up a tortilla and place on a plate. Add some rice and beans to the tortilla. Place the cooked shrimp on next, then top with the other ingredients as you like.

6. Roll up the burrito and top with the mayo mixture. Sprinkle more Old Bay over the burrito.

7. Grab a fork and knife. Unless you really like making a mess.

Variants

The variants are whatever you want to include in your burrito. Corn, salsa, a cheeseburger - you get to customize this any way you want. If you really want to use your hands to eat it, put the Old Bay mayo on the inside. Less messy. Same great taste.

Broiled crab cakes

Image
Outside of steamed crabs, crab cakes are my favorite way to enjoy that tasty crustacean. However, so many recipes want to complicate something that is pure in its simplest form. Software   · 1 lb. lump crab meat · ½ c. Panko · ½ c. mayo (Duke’s is my choice)  · 1 egg · 1 T. Old Bay (plus some extra for the outer layer) · yes, that's it. Method In a large bowl, mix together the crab, Panko, mayo, egg and Old Bay by using your hands. Hand mixing helps keep the larger pieces of crab together. Plus, your hands smell great after you are done. Make four patties about as equal sized as you can and place them on a plate or tray. Sprinkle Old Bay on the top, then flip and dash a little more on the other side. Allow the patties to rest while setting the oven to broil at high.  On a broiler safe pan, slide the patties on the pan and place under the broiler. You want to make sure you have about 4-6 inches between the tops of the crab ...

Cuban sandwiches

Next to the Reuben, the Cuban sandwich is likely my most favored sandwich. The combination of flavors and warmth is perfection. But there is method to all that deliciousness. Ingredients · 4 rolls (if you can find Cuban bread, use that. Otherwise, hoagie/sub rolls will work just fine) · ¼ cup mayo · ¼ cup mustard · 1 lb. Swiss cheese, sliced · 1 lb. smoked ham, sliced · 1 lb. pork loin, sliced · 8 sandwich sliced dill pickles · 1 T. butter, melted Method 1. Heat up a sandwich press/indoor grill/cast iron skillet to medium high heat. If you use the indoor grill or skillet method, you will need something heavy and heat proof to use on top, preferably another cast iron skillet. 2. Mix the mayo and mustard together. 3. Split the rolls and spread the mayo/mustard mixture on both halves. You won’t need too much but don’t spread it too thin. 4. On the bottom half, place one layer of Swiss c...

Chicken Marsala

Image
One of my favorite quick meals that always tastes like I’ve worked over the stove for hours. I like pairing it with garlic mashed potatoes, but pasta works well Ingredients · 4 T. butter · 4 thin chicken cutlets · ½ c flour · 1 T. Italian seasoning · ½ t salt · 30 grinds of black pepper · 8 oz. sliced white mushrooms · 1 T. garlic · ½ c marsala wine Assembly 1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it is bubbling. While that’s going on, mix together the flour, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a long dish. A bread pan works well for that. 2. When the butter is ready, dredge the cutlets through the seasoned flour and place in the hot skillet. You may have to work in stages. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and repeat for another 3-4 minutes. 3. As the chicken is done, move to a plate and keep warm during the next steps. 4. Add the mushrooms ...
