I felt like cooking something scrumptious the other night, but didn't want to go to the grocery store. This is what I was able to throw together!!
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. shrimp (I used pre-cooked, frozen shrimp meat because it's what I had)
1 cup of onion, chopped
1 cup of peppers (I used sweet Italian and acorn peppers)
1 cup of zucchini, cut into short matchsticks
1 stick of butter
1/3 cup of white wine
6 strips of bacon, chopped
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Powder
Red pepper flakes
Mashed potatoes (about 2 cups)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Begin by cooking the chopped bacon in a large skillet. Once bacon is crisp, remove from skillet and set aside reserving the bacon grease.
2. Place the butter in the skillet and let it melt. Throw the chopped onion into the bacon grease and butter and let it cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. And throw on a dash of salt and pepper!
3. Deglaze the skillet by pouring the white wine in and scraping any yummy bits of goodness off of the bottom of the pan.
4. Add in the zucchini and peppers and cook and additional 5 minutes.
5. Put the shrimp in the pan. If it's already cooked (like mine was), then allow them to heat up for about 2 minutes. If you're using raw shrimp, cook them until no longer opaque (about 5 minutes).
6. Add the bacon back to the pan.
7. Serve over mashed potatoes.
