Sometimes I get in the mood for a good sandwich and nothing else will do. Last night was one of those times.
It had been a lazy day spent mostly writing and I didn't want to put together anything overly complicated for dinner. At the same time, a few of my favourite cooking shows were on (Master Chef, Hells Kitchen, and Next Food Network Star all on the same night!) making the thought of a portable dinner in front of the TV that much more attractive.
I've mentioned before that I always keep a few go to ingredients on hand for quick dinners; one of them is minute steaks, and the other is frozen shrimp - which got me to thinking... what about putting them together on a toasted bun?
So that's what I did!
And it was absolutely delicious!
