Cajun Shrimp

So... had a bit of the munchies this afternoon, and seafood is allowed on my diet.  As is butter.
And most spices.  So I thought: 'Self, we have leftover shrimp.  And I'm in the mood for something a bit spicy.'  To which self replies:  Yeah!!! Go for it man!  :: in the Street Fighter Zero 3 announcers voice::

So I threw the below ingredients in a saute pan and something delicious came out.


Chili Powder
Ground Cayenne Red Pepper
Parsley
Italian Seasoning
Old Bay seasoning
Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 tbsp butter
1/4 fresh lemon

12 medium sized shrimp

Got the pan hot first then melted the butter.  Added the shrimp frozen ['cause i was lazy] and then the rest.  Added a bit more butter cause of the extra water but still didn't use more than what I have above.

No, there are no measurements for the rest of it.  Work it out for yourselves.  You know what you like better than I.

SO good over pasta.  Make sure to not reduce the butter sauce too much.

Someone else try it and let me know what you think.

Colitis and stuff...

So... I'm going on a detox/diet [Ooo new word... dietox!] to try and help heal my colon.
Ignoring the title of the post, this is now about recipes.  'Cause I have to find new ways to eat roughly the same food.  Ha ha.  Roughly.

Fruit Smoothie
1 banana
1 granny smith apple.
1-2 handfuls of cherries
1-2 handfuls of raisins
1 handful of grapes
2 plums
1/4 pineapple
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup water
lots of ice

Cut the up and peel the fruit that you can/wish, Put what's left in a blender, add honey and spice.
Blend.  Add water and ice as needed, desired.  Obviously you can add or remove fruit as you wish to suit your tastes.

Enjoy.
