Easy Shrimp marinara

I love a good spicy shrimp marinara. The other day I happened to have some Marinara sauce left over and decided it was a good time to put that to use.

I had some frozen Colossal shrimp that I purchased from Walmart. I prefer the ones that are frozen, yet still have the shell on. They've already had the vein removed so no extra work needed to clean them.

The best thing about these is that I can use the amount of shrimp I need for one serving (or more) and keep the rest frozen for future use.

I picked out 6-7 shrimp. I placed them in a bowl of water to defrost (usually takes only 25-30 minutes).

Since these shrimp were going to be over rice (or pasta, your choice) prior to cooking I went ahead and peeled them entirely.

I sprinkled the shrimp with Old Bay and Louisiana Spice rub. I pan seared the shrimp really quick to let the flavors sear into the shrimp. Just about a minute.

I poured about a cup of the Marinara sauce I had into a sauce pan and heated it up on medium-low. As the sauce started to bubble I tossed in the shrimp, added dash of hot sauce and a tiny shot of white wine.
I let everything simmer until the shrimp were thoroughly cooked.
I served mine with rice because it's what I had left-over in my fridge. But this can easily go over a serving of pasta.

En la cocina con mami (In the kitchen with mom)

My mom had a pretty good health scare around Memorial Day Weekend. It scared the whole family actually. There is nothing that makes your heart sink worse than getting a phone call from your brother saying they are headed to the emergency room. Mom looked weak, pale and fragile. She had severe pneumonia and the added stress also led to a mild heart attack. She was placed in ICU but within three days, moved to a regular room for one night and then released. I was planning to visit mom and dad for Memorial Day weekend anyway, but the call ramped me into full gear and soon my three dogs and I were Chattanooga bound. My parents are up there in years, both 89, and up until this incident mom was relatively healthy. Dad too. Luckily the fact that they eat well and live right meant my mom was soon on the road to recovery. My dad and I learned to monitor her medications, prep the nebulizer treatments and make sure her oxygen lines were clear and everything was running smoothly. But mom...
