Okay, so I had the most gorgeous shrimp ever this week (which considering the Gulf Coast Oil Spill) we might not be using shrimp as often now- I heard the prices are gonna JUMP!
Anyway, I wanted to make something spicy and cajun since most of the time I use shrimp in pasta or rice dishes and the flavors are more subdued. I took my trusty ole cajun and old bay seasoning and well, just go ahead and Slap your Mama because they were incredible.
Since I had just made it back from the farmer’s market, I decided to use the zucchini I had purchased and this just upped the whole meal from 3 stars to 5 stars. Yes, you heard it right. I grade myself with stars! LOL!
I mixed freshly sliced zucchini with sauted onions and garlic and made little zucchini cakes. Cute, fun and so yummy. They were the perfect texture and perfect blend of flavors with the freshness of the zucchini. So appealing and delicious. A must for the kids because although they are slightly fried, your only using butter and it is full of veggies!
Okay girls, so hopefully with the past 2 posts I have encouraged you all to get out there and enjoy the fruit and veggies of this wonderful land and cook fresh! Also, don’t forget about the GIVEAWAY! Go check it out and enter to win the most fabulous prize ever! If not, your missing out! LOL! Have a great week and love ya’ll!
That looks absolutely tasty. I grew up on the MS Gulf Coast. Shrimp there has already went up in price majorly so we better all enjoy it while we can.
I'm running out to get shrimp right now. Hopefully the prices haven't soared yet. Once again, this looks insane. What can I say, when you're good, you're good!!!!
Lots of yummy love,

You have! Well done. I'm in love with veggies as it is, so I'm anxious to try this recipe, and I love shrimp too – double the yummy-ness! Thanks!
New follower and obsessed with anything that has shrimp and fresh veggies, so I'm sold on this! I'm so sad for my little Gulf Coast sea critters though…
Thanks so much for stopping by. The recipe might be one that I have to try. Looks yummy.
Oh yummy girl! Hope your having a great week! xoxo
Hi sweetheart! These look absolutely amazing, as do all of your dishes, but there is something special about these little cakes…I love the ZUCCHINI!!!! Spicy boiled shrimp, yum yum yum, come to momma!
You're too cute, I want to come over for supper, I'll bring the wine and play with Grant, and we can chat while you whip up a fabulous dinner! Do babysitting and wine count as an equitable trade for one of your amazing meals?! I love you!! xox
Looks delicious!

This recipe looked so good that I made it on Saturday night! The shrimp were perfect and I loved the idea of broiling them so they didn't lose their sauce in grilling or sauteing. Delish – thanks for the recipe!!
