First recipe

I always have people asking me for recipes from the pictures I post on Facebook, the truth is I usually cook with out measuring ingredients and I think its because that was the way I learn to cook but also its the way my grandma and my mom cooks, some times I come up with measured recipes specially when I want to share the food for some potluck or somebody keeps sending me email about certain recipe, this one was for the Crossfit Utah valley cook book. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

Easy Basil shrimp
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp
1 red pepper
1 orange pepper
1 green pepper
1 small diced purple onion
2 tsp garlic
1 acorn squash
Basil
Pepper and salt to taste
Preparation:
Cut acorn squash in half and cook in the oven or in a
steamer:

Grill the pepper and cut in little pieces

Heat up a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cook the
onion and garlic first then add shrimp.

Stir and cook for about 5 minutes be careful since shrimp
cooks fast and if you over cook get chewy, add peppers
basil and salt to taste.
Fill acorn squash with shrimp mix and enjoy!
