Happy Monday guys! How was everyone's weekend?!
We got a TON of work done, let me tell you. I practically rearranged our bedroom this weekend, and I'm still not complete. I got a couple of things to spice up the room (some artwork, flowers, etc.), so it looks like an actual bedroom, instead of a bare prison cell. Will definitely have to post some before/after pictures tomorrow.
We're also preparing for some garden work! We went to Lowe's (which was a madhouse!), and Andy did some mulching and yard work. I'm planting my seeds indoors this week, and tilling up the rest of my garden bed outside, so hopefully everything will be ready for the end of this week or next. It's so exciting having a garden! And the spring weather is absolutely amazing too - although it's raining a tad today.
Oh, and yeah, I'm on VACATION! It's amazing, and kind of sad having to still go to class this week, but at least that's only 2 hours out of the day for 3 days. I can live with that.
So on to today's recipe. Last week's naan was a big hit with you guys and I'm glad! And the whole reason I made the naan, was so that I could make these pizzas, from the same blog (Food For My Family) that I got the naan recipe from. If you haven't checked out Food For My Family, I highly suggest you do! It's full of awesome goodies, definitely kid friendly too!
Ingredients:
Adapted from Food For My Family's recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 pieces of naan bread
about 12 pieces of rock shrimp, cleaned
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan, grated
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and garlic. Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes, in order to let the flavors infuse in the oil.
Lay out naan on a baking sheet and spread about a tablespoon of the olive oil mixture on each piece. Top each piece of naan with about 6-7 rock shrimps. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup each of pecorino romano and parmesan on each piece, as well. Divide the dried parsley among the two pieces of naan, also.
Bake pizzas for about 10 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked through and cheese is melted. Let sit for about 5 minutes, to cool, and then slice into pieces.
This is a perfect appetizer for dinner parties, or if you don't want to share, you can easily eat the whole thing for a light lunch - which is what I did. Yes, I'm selfish. And I'm proud. =) But I'm sharing with you... so now we're even, right?
Enjoy your Monday guys! I know I'll be doing some homework (which I should have done this weekend!) and some more cleaning/gardening!
