10 Minute Shrimp Tacos

I love shrimp and making it into various forms however shrimp tacos has been a meal I have been enjoying a lot lately. This recipe is perfect for dinner or lunch during the week if you don't have much time on your hands. If for dinner, I enjoy pairing the shrimp tacos with corn on the cob or even another vegetable I may like. Otherwise for lunch, I would eat the tacos as they are and maybe even add more ingredients. This meal is also college student friendly, meaning it's affordable and easy. Typically it takes me less than 15 minutes to make. If you're looking for an easy delicious go to meal during the week, this is for you.

Ingredients

- Raw shrimp peeled
- 1 bag of rice
- 1 cup of sliced spinach
- Seven or more chopped grape tomatoes
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 1 chopped onion
- Ortega taco sauce, medium
- Soft tortilla wraps
- Lemon pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Half a spoonful of olive oil
- Half a cup of water

Directions:

- Heat oil and water in a medium skillet over medium heat . Then add shrimp and diced onion. Season shrimp and onions with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to your liking.
- Allow the shrimp to cook for about 10 minutes or until done.
- Boil a pot of water and insert the bag of rice, cook until done.
- Heat tortillas in the microwave or 30 seconds or more.
- Serve tortilla with shrimp inside as well as rice, tomatoes, spinach, cheese, and sauce.

This recipe is quick simple and very fulfilling. Personally, I always like to add different things to my tacos to mix it up or add more flavor. Some things I may include are avocado, mango, beans, cucumber, and potatoes. Cooking has always been a hobby but I am also a fan of healthy eating and this recipe is definitely a clean way of eating, that can benefit both your appetite and body. Feel free to use this recipe and even change it to cater to your preferences.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
