Hi readers of The Online Cookbook, it's good to see you again! I almost forgot about this blog for the almost two months I've gone without posting, but now I'm back. This is a really easy recipe that I made up one day when I wanted a snack but couldn't figure out what I really wanted. This recipe is delicious, and not only can it be a snack but I occasionally have it for lunch. If you try it, I assure you - you will like it! *I am writing this recipe as a single serving but you can adjust the ingredients as needed to make multiple servings if you desire.
INGREDIENTS -
1 tortilla, any size
1 spoonful salsa
Shredded cheese, any kind
Tortilla chips, optional
INSTRUCTIONS -
Set tortilla on plate and spread salsa out with a spoon the best you can. Sprinkle on amount of cheese you desire. Sprinkle on tortilla chips if you wish. Microwave for 35-45 seconds or until cheese is melted. Fold tortilla up to make a wrap and serve immediately.

Bistro Shrimp Pasta
Hey everyone, so sorry I haven't posted in awhile! This blog is fairly new and I kind of forgot that it existed, lol! This recipe has a lot of ingredients and looks like it'll take awhile to make, but hey, good will come out of it! I know this because my first and only time to The Cheesecake Factory in Providence, Rhode Island and it was delicious beyond words! I haven't yet tried it myself but I believe I have every right to share the recipe if I've tasted it, giving credit to the source from which I got it, of course.
INGREDIENTS -
Vegetable Portion
1 cup quartered button mushroom
1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pasta Portion
1 pound thin spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon salt
Lemon Basil Cream Sauce
4 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup lemon juice
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chopped fresh basil
Shrimp Portion
1 pound raw shrimp, deveined and with shells removed
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 cup panko
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS -
Saute mushrooms in oil. Add tomatoes until warm. Set aside. Add salt and water and boil for pasta until al dente. Set aside covered with a little oil so it doesn't stick together.
Melt butter in large skillet. Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add cream and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook about 8 minutes or until reduced by about half. Whisk together fresh-squeezed lemon juice and cornstarch until smooth. Add pepper. Add lemon mixture to cream mixture and whisk constantly for 2 minutes. Turn down to lowest heat just to keep warm.
Dip raw shrimp in eggs and then transfer to coat with panko breadcrumb and flour mixture. Fry in butter and oil for a few minutes until golden brown. Allow them to drip on paper towel covered and cook the remainder of shrimp this way. Add basil to sauce. Put cooked pasta on plate. Add desired amount of sauce. Top with tomatoes and mushrooms and shrimp. Serves 6

**Also, I've decided not to categorize the recipes I share anymore, at least for now. If I hadn't stopped categorizing this one would have been under the Main Dishes category. I hope you enjoy this recipe, because it'd be really difficult to dislike it!
