I should have gone to the store, we have staples but not the perishables. I first came up this this description for the way I think about cooking about a dozen years ago. I look at what I have, think on it bit, get started, then it comes together.
This time the idea is shrimp, have a bag in the freezer. Humm, there is a partial stick of real Spanish chorizo… Oh, the Shrimp with Chorizo Butter recipe! It usually goes with rice or pasta or couscous. But we are having popcorn later with our movie so maybe skip the carbs in favor of vegies. How about the Grilled Corn and Poblano Chile relish from a few days ago. Heated? maybe.
When I got to the second stage in cooking the shrimp I need more chorizo and there was not enough. So how about some bacon, seems like a natural.
I did decide to warm the relish and plated both up in our big soup plates. Excellent! Got rave reviews from my critic.
