What did you make for dinner?

I have been craving fried shrimp for two weeks now. I prefer to make it myself as I don’t trust restaurants for freshness or proper deveining, but it is a hassle to do fried stuff so I have been putting it off until tonight. Totally hit the spot and satisfied my craving! I made fresh coleslaw with broccoli, carrots, cabbage, and brussel sprouts and then had left over three bean salad from when I took over BBQ to have lunch with my mom on Saturday.

Peeled and deveined Texas Gulf Shrimp:

Batter and breading:

Frying them up!

Final product! Oh so good!

Jesse and Rouge, both look great. I really like butter chicken and have a great InstaPot recipe for it. I have made the Gordon Ramsey version, but that takes way too much time.

TatorTodd, if you have a link to your recipe I would love to see it. I don’t want you to have to type it all out. I love chicken tortilla soup and keep trying different recipes, but just can’t seem to find the right one. There was a restaurant near me that had the best I have had, but sadly they closed.

I enjoy this hearty recipe, but it's not a traditional chicken tortilla soup. If you're looking for a traditional tortilla soup, this isn't the recipe for you.

I can't remember which Dallas newspaper awarded this reader submission as Grand Prize Winner. I've used {} to note changes I've made to it.

Skinny Minnie Tortilla Soup
Yield: 6 servings

1 Can (16 oz) fat free refried beans
1 can (14.5 oz) low-fat or fat free chicken broth
1 can (5 oz) 94% fat free chunk chicken (with liquid) {NOTE: I usually double this to 10 oz}
1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn (with liquid)
1 can (15.5 oz) black beans (rinsed and drained)
3/4 cup chunky salsa
2 cups (8 oz) Sargento Light Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese (Note: I use full fat Mexican blend shredded cheese}
Low-fat or baked tortilla chips {NOTE: I prefer full-fat tortilla chips}

Tonight is a great example of how this recipe shines. I decided at 6:10 that I was switching from picking up takeout BBQ to this. By 6:30, I was eating the soup as my entire dinner. I had everything sitting on my pantry shelves and didn't have to plan at all.

Yeah, not traditional but that doesn’t mean it isn’t something good. I will try, almost, anything once and see if I like it. I will give it a try one day when I don’t feel like spending hours making a soup since I usually do everything from scratch including making the broth. Thanks!
