10 Minute Shrimp Tacos

I love shrimp and making it into various forms however shrimp tacos has been a meal I have been enjoying a lot lately. This recipe is perfect for dinner or lunch during the week if you don't have much time on your hands. If for dinner, I enjoy pairing the shrimp tacos with corn on the cob or even another vegetable I may like. Otherwise for lunch, I would eat the tacos as they are and maybe even add more ingredients. This meal is also college student friendly, meaning it's affordable and easy. Typically it takes me less than 15 minutes to make. If you're looking for an easy delicious go to meal during the week, this is for you.

Ingredients

- Raw shrimp peeled
- 1 bag of rice
- 1 cup of sliced spinach
- Seven or more chopped grape tomatoes
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 1 chopped onion
- Ortega taco sauce, medium
- Soft tortilla wraps
- Lemon pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Half a spoonful of olive oil
- Half a cup of water

Directions:

- Heat oil and water in a medium skillet over medium heat . Then add shrimp and diced onion. Season shrimp and onions with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to your liking.
- Allow the shrimp to cook for about 10 minutes or until done.
- Boil a pot of water and insert the bag of rice, cook until done.
- Heat tortillas in the microwave or 30 seconds or more.
- Serve tortilla with shrimp inside as well as rice, tomatoes, spinach, cheese, and sauce.

This recipe is quick simple and very fulfilling. Personally, I always like to add different things to my tacos to mix it up or add more flavor. Some things I may include are avocado, mango, beans, cucumber, and potatoes. Cooking has always been a hobby but I am also a fan of healthy eating and this recipe is definitely a clean way of eating, that can benefit both your appetite and body. Feel free to use this recipe and even change it to cater to your preferences.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
