I wanted to make some Mexican food tonight...it's not for my "Trip Around the World in an RV" blog, but a just because blog. I found super good deals on shrimp and cod at the market this morning. I paid $5 for a pound of shrimp and I got the cod for the bargain price of $2.50. It was still really fresh, but had to be sold today, so I got it 50% off. I knew I wanted to make shrimp fajitas, but I also didn't have room in my miniscule freezer for the cod to hang out, so I thought I'd make some fish tacos along with the fajitas. I bought 8 ounces of crimini mushrooms for $2.29 and bell peppers were the expensive items at $1.50 each for red and green. First off, I made a beer batter with flour, beer, chile powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, sea salt and summer savory.
I put all the sliced veggies in my skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and let them hang out until they got soft.




After the veggies got soft, I added in the shrimp....

I heated the vegetable oil to around 375 degrees and dropped the cod in...

I added in the shrimp and waited until they got pink and curled up. I cheated and used a package of fajita seasoning rather than making my own...

Yes, that cod was delicious!!

And there you have it, shrimp fajitas and fish tacos!

And, of course, for dessert...no-bake peach cheesecake! This is simple...I used a pre-made graham cracker crust, 2 packages of soft low-fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 package of peach flavored gelatin, 1 can of drained, spiced peaches, diced, 1 tub of Cool Whip...I've tried using the stuff in a can and making my own and for some reason, they just don't work as well as Cool Whip and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and gelatin until blended, fold in the diced peaches and fold in the Cool Whip. Pour into the pie shell and refrigerate for about 3 hours or until set! This is really good stuff! And, that is my go-to Mexican meal! Enjoy!
