Impromptu Dinner!

Tonight, I got off of work and tagged out my husband as he left to go out with a friend. As soon as my husband left, the kiddo started telling me he was hungry. I myself had been anxious to get home for something to eat. However, we do our shopping on the weekends and don't have many meal options left. I dug around the fridge for last bits of things and came up with this wonderful concoction I just had to share!

I sliced up some leftover carrots and mushrooms, chopped up the rest of an orange bell pepper I had, and threw in the last serving of shrimp. I added in some minced garlic, but it seemed still a little bland and colorless. I told the kiddo, "we need something green", and we found some basil together. He "helped" me tear up the basil (as in, he held the basil leaves for me and managed to not lick them), and that was just what it needed.

We really enjoyed it, and though it's not a proper recipe by any means, it just goes to show what you can do when you think there's nothing left to eat in the house!
