Frugal Eats 101- Garlic Shrimp and Veggies

During the week, I love to make meals for the family. Here is a meal I made in 15 minutes or less. After coming home from a long day of work, who wants to be a slave to the stove?

Ingredients:
cooked frozen shrimp (one cup for 2 servings)
minced garlic (1 tablespoon)
butter (1 tablespoon)
olive oil ( 3 dribbles)
cayenne pepper (dash)
Adobo (dash)
grated cheese of choice (1/4 cup)
package of Green Giant Steamers

On medium heat, place olive oil, a dab of butter and minced garlic in the pan. Once butter is melted add a cup of cooked frozen shrimp. Season with cayenne pepper and Adobo. Saute the contents for 4-5 minutes. After shrimp is defrosted and lightly sauteed, place in a glass baking dish. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the Green Giant Steamers in the microwave as instructed for 12-14 minutes.  Add grated cheese on top of the shrimp and place in oven 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Once the Green Giant Steamer is ready, remove the vegetables, add some grated cheese on top and plate the shrimp. Add a healthy salad to the menu and server with love. I have included some pics for those who are visually stimulated.
