Peter Ferber Gallery Show Evokes a Sense of Place Thoughts of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region evoke memories and emotions of a sense of place, of belonging, community, and times spent with family and friends. Often the centerpiece for this nostalgia is a cottage, typically a summer cottage shaded by big pines with a porch, a cozy reading nook, and glimpses of a lake or mountains.

Perhaps a kayak is at rest against the woodpile, a dog chases children along the water’s edge, or a sailboat flutters out along the horizon. This is the place to enjoy the beginning and ending of the day, giving reverence to the sun as it moves between white fluffy clouds, and thanks for all that has transpired in between.

Words often fall short of evoking the essence of these experiences and places, but local artist Peter Ferber has an astonishing ability to capture it all on canvas. As we look into the intricate details Peter paints and draws with such realism, we can’t help but be moved by the multiplicity of stories hidden in the layers and perspective and identify with them.

At the upcoming Peter Ferber Gallery Show opening on Saturday, February 15 at The Art Place in Wolfeboro, nearly half the new original paintings feature glimpses of a lake cottage: a warm and inviting interior, or a weathered exterior that speaks to a historic and generational past. There’s also a cut paper piece of a boathouse, a medium that Peter Ferber says he enjoys immensely because it’s a very defined process of putting things together that

Artist Peter Ferber’s new show of original paintings opens February 15 at The Art Place in Wolfeboro. (Photo courtesy The Art Place) appeals to the architect in him. The show runs until February 29.

Although there’s shared content in these new originals, such as the cottage glimpses, each one has something different in it according to Peter. “Whenever I approach a subject, I ask myself how will I render that, how can I take a new approach or put a new order into how it goes down on the canvas?

My approach is more about how can I do this rather than having any preconceptions about what it should look like. It’s much more enjoyable and fun that way and creates surprises for me in the process,� he explains.

TM

“For me, the lake cottage suggests a simplicity to life, a more relaxed routine where we are not concerned about maintaining things, where it’s not a problem if things are a bit rough around the edges - we can let go. It is a place where there’s a sense of being at ease and relaxed, and not having to care and fuss about things,� Peter shared.

The winter Peter Ferber Gallery Show will feature more than a dozen new original works in watercolor, oil, and acrylic, as well as the cut paper, in a variety of sizes. Considering the variety of beautiful hues in Peter’s watercolors, it comes as a surprise to

learn that he only works with about six or seven different pigments on his palette. “That was my training,� he explains, “to keep it simple. I find I can mix any color from these. Even with oils, I only use about 10 pigments.�

This year’s paintings also include scenes from areas around Lake Winnipesaukee that Peter had never visited. “Quite a number of them have come as a result of someone introducing me to a location for the first time. One man took me out in his boat around the northwest corner of the lake for the whole day around Forty Islands, scenes from which appear in these paintings,�

Peter shared.

The Peter Ferber Gallery Show is held twice a year - in February and a summer show in August - at The Art Place, located at 9 North Main Street in downtown Wolfeboro. Many people, some traveling long distances, arrive early before the doors open at 9:30 am and line up to ensure they are first to see the new works.

Peter Ferber will be present at the show during the day, providing a wonderful opportunity to hear the stories behind the paintings directly from the artist. Light refreshments will be served.

The Ferber gallery show will run from February 15 to 29, with a snow date for the opening on Sunday, February 16 at 11 am.

Explore a Winter Farmers Market!

By Sarah Wright Every summer, I shop at my local farmer’s market when I can, and I’m not the only one. There’s been a nationwide trend in recent years to support local businesses, and buy products that haven’t traveled halfway across the globe. I’ve noticed a definite increase, with more customers visiting the local markets every year for beautiful flowers, fresh produce, and unique products. While many people may think that these markets are a warm-weather perk, in fact, several winter markets are popping up to satisfy customers’ desires for local items. Read on to find out more about a few gems in the Lakes Region that will get you through the next several months until summer comes around again.

One of the largest winter markets is the farmers market in Tamworth. The mission of the market is to increase the exchange of food and farm products in the region, encourage new farmers and producers, and help build community through a seasonal marketplace and a year-round, vibrant food and farm economy. In the winter months, the market moves from the Unitarian Church on Tamworth Road to the Tamworth Town House at 27 Cleveland Hill Road. You can shop the market at the Town House every other Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm, through March. The dates for this season are February 15 and 29; and March 14 and 28. It’s also important to mention the Tamworth farmers market accepts Snap benefits. Even better, if you choose to spend Snap dollars at the market, you’ll receive double the dollars thanks to generous donations from local organizations.

Products at the Tamworth winter farmers market include high-quality vegetables, fruits, dairy, maple syrup and honey, meats and poultry, bread and baked goods, yarn, preserves, eggs, mushrooms, natural body care products, and even freshly prepared food to eat on site or take away. Although vendors can vary by the season, there are many regulars in Tamworth. If you haven’t been to a farmers market, and are doubtful about what’s available, you will be surprised! You’ll meet local farmers, bakers, and crafters in person, like Helen Steele from Steele Farm, who sells lamb, goose, wool, yarn, pelts, vegetables, and eggs.

Small local companies like Black Snout Dog Biscuits are also popular at the Tamworth market, selling pet biscuits, jerky, and dog toys. Double

Rainbow Farm provides micro-greens, greens, lettuce, and vegetables. Lily Hill Farm has various items available that include flowers, herbs, fresh lemonade, berries, preserves, and nature crafts. Mi Vida Gardens sells organic eggs and vegetables. The kombucha trend is big right now, and Mo’Bucha makes a delicious and healthy version of the fermented tea beverage. Check out the cultivated and foraged mushrooms of the New Hampshire Mushroom Company, and learn something new about the beloved fungus. Experience the Old Ways at Mustard Seed Farm, and shop for herbal products, butter, cheese, cookies, eggs, herbs, and flowers, depending on the season.

Red Gables Farm is your go-to place for dairy like grass-fed organic milk, yogurt, kefir, and yogurt cheese; they also sell organic vegetables and garlic, maple syrup, and honey. Beef products like jerky, steaks, and burgers are provided by Roberts Farm, which also sells cider, vegetables, fruit, berries, lemonade, maple sugar, and cotton candy. Try a new drink at the Sap House Meadery table, and choose a maple syrup mead or a honey wine. Stonehedge Farm has lamb, wool, and yarn, and other items like jams and jellies, ketchups, vegetables, and honey. Purchase some delicious baked goods from the Sunnyfield Brick Oven Bakery; they make sourdough breads, scones, muffins, granola, pizza, and pie dough. There’s also Tanna Farm, which sells organic vegetables, eggs, flowers, and baked goods. Choose from beef, pork, and chicken from White Gates Farm, along with vegetables. Finally, there’s Win-

dover Farm, with vegetables, apples, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, and horseradish available. With so many options, even the choosiest customer will find something they like!

The Farm to Table Market on Route 16 in West Ossipee is a retail farmers market, open year-round. The market partners with over 20 local farms and producers to bring customers fresh delicious fruits and vegetables, meats, milk and cheeses, local eggs, and items like coffee, honey, baked goods, and jams. You’ll find items from places like Mountain Heartbeet Farm in Effingham, Naylen Farm in Conway, Turkey Street Maples in Tamworth, Valicenti Pasta Farm in Hollis, Good Vibes Coffee Roasters in North Conway, and the Sandwich Creamery in Sandwich, among many others! Order

lunch or dinner from their list of available soups, salads, cooked entrees, sides, and smoothies, and support local farms with a tasty meal. Farm to Table is open seven days a week from 10 am to 7 pm. Call 603-539-2266 for further information, or visit www.farmtotablemarketnh.com.

Another wonderful local market is the Wolfeboro winter farmers market, held at the First Congregational Church on Main Street on the first and third Saturdays of the month, from 10 am to 2 pm through mid-April. The indoor market features the freshest fish and pastured meats, local honey and beeswax products, fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables, maple syrup, delicious baked goods, poultry, eggs, handmade soaps, and selected crafts, all locally produced. In addition to great local products, the Wolfeboro winter farmers market also offers the Double Snap program, which provides double benefits to carriers of the Electronic Benefits Card (EBT). This important service is made possible through generous donations from the local community.

It may not seem like it now, but summer will be here before we know it, with all its agricultural bounty! In the meantime, you can get your fix with these great options for local produce, meats, and other fine products frimNew Hampshire farms and businesses.

Stay healthy this winter and support these local vendors by checking out a winter farmers market. You might even find something new to try!

Tin Mountain Hosts Fun Winter Camps for Kids Tin Mountain’s Nature Learning Center in Albany offers children the opportunity to go to camp over Winter Vacation Week. Each day of the week features a different camp for different ages and runs from 9 am to 3 pm.

Campers should dress warmly for outdoor winter fun. Tin Mountain supplies snowshoes and cocoa (marshmallows too). All camps are $50 for Tin Mountain members and $55 for non-members. Programs are scheduled and include: CSI: Tin Mountain Winter Edition on Wednesday, February 19 for grades 3 to 6. On this day of camp, kids will be on the case! A wildlife ‘crime scene’ has been discovered in the forest. Learn about the plants and animals and all the other information you’ll need to solve this mystery. You’ll be on location to gather clues, so dress warmly. Detectives get hungry, so bring a lunch. Tin Mountain will provide snowshoes and cocoa (with marshmallows!)

On Thursday, February 20, Wonderful Wildlife for grades K-2 will offer kids a chance to learn about winter

wildlife as they follow tracks through the snow. Campers and their group leader will spend time observing

winter birds and searching for other signs of wildlife written in the winter landscape. It’s a winter treasure hunt!

Campers will be outside, so dress warmly. All that stalking can make you hungry, so bring a lunch. Tin Mountain will provide snowshoes, along with cocoa and marshmallows!

What would you do if you were outside in the winter? Do you think you could light a fire, build a snow shelter or boil water for cooking and hot drinks to help you survive the winter cold? During Winter Survival on Friday, February 21 from 9 am to 3 pm, you’ll learn and practice how to stay warm in winter. Dress warmly and bring a lunch (eating is a big part of staying warm). Tin Mountain will provide the snowshoes and cocoa.

Each day offers new topics, new discoveries and the chance to be outside enjoying the winter fun at Tin Mountain. For more information and to register for camp, call 603-447-6991.

Yester year Movie Magic in the White Mountains

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photo courtesy Mountain Top Music Life in the White Mountains of New Hampshire was sedate in the early 1900s. Thus, the arrival of a movie theater in any village was welcome. At the “pictures” as movies were often called in those days, villagers could watch silent movies with stars such as Mary Pickford, Harry Langdon and Charlie Chaplin.

In October of 1919, Leon Bolduc purchased a local Bijou Theatre from another owner, and began to show movies at a location on Pleasant Street in Conway village. Bolduc, one can assume, enjoyed movies and made a business of showing movies to others. He ran early movies in such small towns as Tamworth and Jackson as well, probably in town halls or other event spaces.

When talking pictures arrived and took the country by storm, Bolduc played “The Broadway Melody” in 1929, according to historical information at www.conwaymajestic.com in an article by local historian Adrian E. Hurd.

Not far away, the North Conway Theater was opened on Main Street in the summer of 1930. Bolduc was the operator of this theatre as well, and it was located in the new Masonic Building. Among the first movies shown was “The Sea Bat.” With movies becoming more and more popular, the theatre must have been quite popular. Mr. Bolduc likely realized that owning a movie theater was a viable means of making a living.

He purchased, in 1930, a vacant lot and built the Bolduc Block on Main Street in Conway village. The construction of the movie theater, according to Hurd’s historical article at www.conwaymajestic.com, included a tapestry brick facing for the exterior of the building.

Mountain Top Music, has been working on renovating the old building. According to Mountain Top’s Executive Director, George Wiese, the group is currently in the final stages of renovation with anticipated reopening in late June of this year. “Our primary use for the renovated theater will be live musical entertainment (classical, jazz, community use, etc.),” he says.

The old Majestic in Conway.

The Bolduc Block can be likened to an early mall of sorts long before malls came into vogue. The block offered not only the movie theater, but also Frank Allard’s Grocery Store, Tony Labnon’s Store, W. Langlais the Jeweler, and the Conway Post Office. Residents now had access to stores in Conway, all in one block within easy walking distance to one another.

But the icing on the cake was the opening of the New Conway Theatre (or Majestic Theatre as it was later called) in the spring of 1931. The Conway Band played in front of the theatre and then moviegoers saw the main feature, which was called “Stepping Out.” The theatre was busy and the seats were filled on opening night. With a band playing outside before the show, it was like a little movie premiere right in the village. Guests must have thrilled to see the new, spacious theatre, the comfortable seats and the beautiful theatre curtain on the stage.

Bolduc welcomed everyone from that stage before the movie began. This was a time when going to a movie was an exciting event and great entertainment. Things like frequent giveaways of china and short films with cartoons and newsreels before the main feature were all part of a Saturday night (or afternoon) in a big movie theatre.

Bolduc’s Conway theatre certainly fit

the bill and was undoubtedly a popular place for locals to catch a movie starring their favorite actors and actresses.

The New Conway Theatre was the site of parties and other events as well, and during World War II, a key drive was held to obtain metal for the war

effort.

Eventually, the theatre was renamed the Majestic Theatre, a name more in fitting with the elevated place the theatre held in the community. Movies were shown in the theatre for many years, and in the 1970s, plays were performed there, was well as movies.

Although, in the deep winter, it is hard to think about outdoor movies, it is worth mentioning that the North Conway area had a drive-in movie theatre called the White Mt. Drive-In Theatre. It must have provided wonderful summertime entertainment with all the popular movies of the time. The drivein movie theatre opened in the 1950s and could fit 300 cars in the parking area. Likely from the 1960s, an old movie poster advertised that movies ran from Sunday through Thursday, and in August, Clark Gable and Sophia Loren were starring in “It Started in Naples.” This was followed by Kirk Douglas starring in “Ulysses”, then James Stewart in “Mountain Road” and a second feature on the same night which was Frank Sinatra and Mitzi

The month ended with Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” and Gable and Burt Lancaster in “Run Silent, Run Deep.” The drive-in theatre operated for many years and probably brought great evening entertainment to those who wanted the drive-in experience.

Down Route 16 a bit, Rochester folks could see movies for many years at the Scenic Theatre. Louis H. McDuffee, who had been born in the city, owned the movie theatre building. In 1912, McDuffee constructed a building that would house a theatre, stores and office space. He rented the theater to a group in Lowell, Massachusetts.

This was an era when movies were coming into their own and everyone turned to a darkened theater house on a Saturday night to see stars such as Charlie Chaplin entertain in any of a number of silent movies.

Theaters were known as movie palaces, often cavernous and with ornate décor. The Scenic Theatre was one of these varieties: it was 45 by 80 feet with a 22-foot wide stage. The theatre could seat 900 people, with a 32-foot

long balcony. At a time when live entertainment was still offered as well as movies, the theater was a great place for the community.

When an early talking movie came to Rochester, it was a big event. Starring Clara Bow, the “It Girl” (she was among the most popular stars at the time), the movie was titled “The Wild Party” and it played in May of 1929 in Rochester. Moviegoers thronged to the big theater to see Bow and others actually speak on film.

More talkies followed, with Technicolor adding to the entertainment of going to the movies in the 1930s, when Becky Sharp played and was the first full-length picture with full color.

Also in Rochester was the Colonial Movie Theater on South Main Street.

It opened around 1915 and was later renamed the State Theatre. Sadly, it closed in the 1940s but in its heyday, it was the place where neighborhood kids could go to see their favorite cowboy movies starring the likes of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers as well as such thrilling heroes as Tarzan and Superman.

Drive-in movies were popular everywhere during the summer months, and Rochester was no exception. According to www.cinematreasures.org, the Sunset Drive-In in Rochester was opened in around 1951. It was later re-

Have Chef - Will Travel Spice Up Your Winter!

By Chef Kelly Ross Today I am focusing on my love affair with the food South of the Border as we visit Mexico to grab some outstanding recipes, from cocktails to soups to incredible main course dishes.

For starters, there is a big difference between Mexican cooking and what most Americans are used to, which is labeled “Tex Mex” - more of an Americanized plainish version of the Real McCoy. The normal taco most of us are accustomed to, as well as a quesadilla, a fajita and burritos, aren’t done in the same way that you would find in a Mexican restaurant. (I was lucky enough to live in Arizona for a couple of years and it was a big adjustment for me as I was used to ground beef taco meat as a protein in everything “Mexican” growing up. Now I was seeing steak, chicken, shrimp and pork dominate some incredible dishes with delicious and original sauces, seasonings and spices.)

One of my favorite lines to use in certain situations is “When in Rome”, so even though we are talking Mexican here and not Italy, the first thing I do when walking into a Mexican restaurant is check out the Margarita menu. I’m a sucker for spice and the same for pineapple, so whenever I see

a Habanero Pineapple Margarita on the menu, I dive in head first. This recipe was shared by a Mexican friend back in my Arizona days and most places I go have it on their menu. By far, it’s my favorite Margarita choice, so buckle up for a wonderfully spicy and delicious cocktail. This recipe makes 4 glasses.

Habanero Pineapple Margarita 4 shots of your favorite tequila, 6 oz 2 habanero peppers, sliced thin 2 cups fresh pineapple juice 2 shots triple sec, about 3 oz ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice Mix of Margarita salt and cayenne pepper to rim the glasses Fresh pineapple and lime wedges for garnish I usually make 2 at a time. Rub a lime wedge around two 12 oz glasses and dip in the salt and pepper mixture.

Fill the glasses with ice. In a tall cocktail shaker or glass, add 2 shots of the tequila and 4-6 slices of habanero.

Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, press down lightly on the peppers to help release the juices and spice into the tequila. Add 1 shot of the triple sec, 1 cup of the pineapple juice, and ½ of the lime juice. Shake well and pour over the ice. Dip one side of pineapple

wedge into the salt and pepper and add to the rims of the glass with a lime wedge. These are refreshing with a real nice bite. Adjust the amount of peppers, depending on taste.

Here is another quick drink recipe.

This one is made in bulk and poured as needed and is for 16 cocktails, so it’s great for a party. It is made ahead of time to chill, and is a great combo of tart, sassy and spicy.

Cranberry Jalapeno Martini 1 cup turbinado washed sugar 1 ½ cups cranberry juice ½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries ½ tsp chopped and seeded jalapeno pepper, more if wanted

Page 14 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | February 2020 • Have Chef Continued from page 13 6 cups vodka Fresh mint leaves, plus additional cranberries Lots of ice In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, 1/2 cup cranberry juice, cranberries and jalapeno. Bring it all to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.

Strain, saving the liquid and dispose of the jalapenos and cranberries. Cover and refrigerate the syrup for at least 2 hours until well chilled. Once ready to serve, fill tumbler glasses ¾ full of ice.

Add 3 oz of vodka, 1 tbsp cranberry juice and 1 tbsp of the cranberry syrup.

Stir until condensation forms on the outside of the glass, then strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few cranberries.

Next on the menu are a couple of outstanding Mexican soups. They are loaded with great spice and herbs with blends of some of Mexico’s best taste bud suppliers. First is a Chicken Enchilada Soup. One key ingredient is something I will bet most of you have never used, not to mention even heard of, and that is masa barina, which is a corn tortilla mix that can generally be found in or near the corn muffin mix in most supermarkets. It gives a great traditional South of the Border flavor.

I’m a huge fan of the stuff.

Chicken Enchilada Soup 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp olive oil

About a quart of chicken broth 1 cup masa barina 3 cups water, divided 1 ½ cups mild red enchilada sauce 1 ½ lb Velveeta cheese, cubed 1 tsp salt ¾ tsp coarse black pepper 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp ground cumin Garnish Options Diced tomatoes Diced avocado Chopped scallions Chopped cilantro Sour cream Fried corn or flour tortilla strips (fry these yourself) In a pot over medium heat, cook the garlic in the oil for 1-2 minutes, stirring the whole time. Add the chicken broth.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa barina and 2 cups of water until well blended. Add the mixture to the pot. Add the remaining water, enchilada sauce, cubed Velveeta, and all the spices and bring to a boil. Drop the heat to a simmer, add the cubed chicken, and simmer for 30 minutes.

If interested, while cooking, put some vegetable oil in a small pot and bring to a medium-high heat. Take 6-8 six-inch tortillas of choice and cut them into ¼-inch slices. Going the other way on the tortillas, cut 4-5 times so all pieces are ¼-inch thick and about an inch or so long. Drop them into the hot oil, and using a slotted spoon, move the tortilla strips around while the oil bubbles frantically. As bubbles slow and then begin to stop, scoop out the tortillas and drop onto sheets of paper towels to dry. Lightly salt. These are delicious as a garnish or snack and I suggest using

these as well as all the other garnish items. After 30 minutes of simmering, taste the soup. Adjust seasonings as needed. Once ready to serve, hit the top of each bowl with a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, diced tomatoes and avocado, and finally with the tortilla strips.

Next is a Green Chili Soup. Despite its name, this isn’t a hot spiced soup as many green chilies aren’t hot at all. I like mine hot, so do as I do if you want and look for the hot chilies, but do what your taste buds desire. This soup uses an item most haven’t heard of, and that is hominy, which is basically dried corn that has been soaked in a mineral lime bath. I can guarantee you have walked by it many times in the grocery store.

This is another batch of deliciousness I garnish in a very similar way as the last one, but it is a much different soup.

The concept and prep of this soup is a little different, and you will realize that right from the get-go.

Green Chili Soup 2 tbsp olive oil 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 bottle Italian dressing 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp chili powder 1 cup salsa verde 3 cups chicken stock A 14.5 oz can of hominy, drained and rinsed An 11 oz can of corn, drained ¾ cup chopped cilantro 2 scallions, finely sliced Salt and pepper Garnish Grated sharp cheddar Cubed avocado Diced tomatoes

Sour cream Fried tortilla strips (as in last recipe) Marinate the chicken breasts in the Italian dressing for at least 8-10 hours.

Then, put the olive oil in a skillet over a medium-high heat. Season the breasts with the cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper and sear the breasts on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Once cooled, cube the chicken. In a large pot, heat the salsa verde. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the corn, hominy and cubed chicken. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add the cilantro and scallions and simmer for a few more minutes.

Once ready to serve, hit the top with sour cream and cheddar; I like to add avocado, tomatoes and tortilla strips.

Let’s move on to dinner entrées. I am a huge fan of shrimp as in the next two recipes, but for those who prefer beef, chicken or pork, it’s not difficult to substitute. I am going to start with a great Shrimp Diablo dish. This bad boy does have a serious bite to it, so adjust accordingly if needed. This goes together quickly. The Diablo sauce almost starts off like a Marinara, with much of the same spices and mentality, but the ending is different. This sauce is truly a winner and a keeper. This dinner will feed 4-6 depending on everyone’s appetite.

Shrimp Diablo 1 ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, ideally 21/24 in size 1 tsp kosher salt ¾ tsp fresh grind black pepper 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 3 tbsp olive oil

skillet over a medium low heat and add the olive oil. Add garlic, jalapenos, onion, oregano and thyme. Stir until the onions are tender and the garlic is fragrant, but not browned. Add the first batch of shrimp, single layer on the bottom of the pan, not on top of another. Cook for 2 minutes on side one, leaving them alone, then flip them and cook for one more minute. Pull shrimp from the skillet and put into a clean bowl. Add bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for a minute or two, turning the heat up to medium-high.

Add the tequila, stock, tomatoes and its juice, and remaining salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the mixture to reduce somewhat as it starts to thicken as the liquid should mostly evaporate, about 8-10 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and add the shrimp. Stir in gently until they are warm throughout.

Garnish with parsley and eat over rice or wrap in tortillas, or just eat as is. You will not be disappointed, that I can guarantee.

Last on the list is a Mexican Shrimp Skillet, which does have some similarities to the Diablo, but the heat isn’t really here for this one and it does have a few different ingredients. This dish is incredibly colorful, as opposed to the prior tomato based dish. This one is more like a Mexican Shrimp Stir Fry of sorts and it goes together in a matter of 15 minutes and will feed 6-8 or so.

You will need to do this in 2 skillets or what makes more sense, do in 2-3 batches, or depending on how many people are eating, cut the recipe in half.

In a Ziploc, combine the shrimp, ½ the salt, pepper and red pepper and shake so the shrimp is well coated. Heat a

Add in at least half of the taco seasoning with ½ cup of water (I use the corn water first) and stir and cook until the water has reduced to next to nothing.

Taste the peppers. If you feel you want more seasoning, repeat, depending on your taste. Once seasoned to your liking, add the shrimp and cook until opaque in color. Add the corn, black beans, tomatoes and cilantro and mix until well incorporated. Serve as is, with rice or in tortillas. If you care to, add a little more seasoning and water.

2 tbsp chili powder ½ tsp granulated garlic ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp dried oregano 1 tsp paprika 3 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp salt 2 tsp black pepper Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. I use this recipe for 2 lbs of taco meat; adjust as you like. I also add 1 ½ cups water per the whole recipe with the meat. When I say meat, I am talking ground beef, turkey, chicken or pork. With the shrimp, I still add some. The choice is yours, but it does help keep the mix moist. Trust me, this is awesome with or without the water.
