We have been making this recipe for a long time; it's quick & easy & tastes great:

1 lb shrimp
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves of garlic, shredded
1/4 cup lime juice
a red or green bell pepper (one large should do) cut into small, slim pieces
little bit of cooking oil
one onion sliced thinly
1/2 cup plain yogurt
green salsa

5 or 6 flour tortillas (wrap them in foil and put them in the oven to warm)

Put the shrimp, cilantro, garlic & lime juice into a bowl and marinate for a while.

Cook the bell peppers & onion in the cooking oil until sort of done, remove them from the pan, put the shrimp mixture into the pan, agitate the pan until the shrimp are cooked. Put the vegetables back in, and warm.

Serve the shrimp/vegetable mixture in the tortillas, top with the yogurt and green salsa.

I guess we kind of cheat as to the pans, because we make the spanish rice at home and bring it with us in a zip lock bag, so all we need to do is heat it up.

Here is my spanish rice recipe (this also freezes well):

1 cup long grain rice
2 TB chopped green onion
2 TB chopped tomato
tamate bullion (found in the hispanic food section)
clove of garlic, shredded (I always shred my garlic with a small shredder, I gave up on other techniques)
bit of cooking oil

Put the rice in a pan with the garlic and the cooking oil, on medium high heat. If you like your rice moist, don't sautee it too long. If you like it dry, sautee it for longer, until the rice and garlic is well browned (but not too brown). Either way, you have to sautee it for at least 4 or 5 minutes, keep stirring. It's got to cook for a while to get some color, develop a good flavor and not be mushy.

When it's sauteed to your liking, add 2 cups of water, the chopped green onions and tomato, and add 2 teaspoons or so of "tamate" bullion, it's like chicken bullion with tomato flavoring, bring to a boil, lower the heat to a very low temp, and cook for 20 minutes.

I now bring 5 pans, two frying pans and 3 regular pans; even though we only have 3 burners; sometimes we need all of them when we're having company! It's even more fun when you don't have hookups!
