Who you calling a shrimp, shortie?

Tonight I tried something I have never had...shrimp.  I was extremely hesitant at first, but with encouragement from Tommy I decided to bite the bullet and try it.  We have been working diligenty all day trying to finish our bathroom, so time for dinner was somewhat limited tonight. We have been remodeling the master bathroom in our house, and it appears it is taking longer than expected.  Why does that always seem to happen? Anyway, if you want to make dinner in less than 30 minutes like Rachel Ray you should try this recipe.  Actually it's not much of a recipe, but rather a combination of 2 easy ingredients.  I took a bag of frozen shrimp, placed them in a strainer and let cold water run over them for about 5 minutes.  When they were thawed, I sauteed them in a pan, added a bag of steamed vegetables, a little bit of Parmesan cheese, and voila! The easiest gluten-free meal ever! I also made shrimp cocktail sauce and served it chilled. Back to the bathroom we go...

Here is the homemade cocktail sauce I tried.  Mix all ingredients together and serve chilled. It was quite tasty!
Shrimp Cocktail Sauce:
1 cup of Heinz Tomato Ketchup
1/2 teaspoon of McCormick Light Chili Powder
1 dash of McCormick ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of horseradish
2 teaspoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 large minced garlice clove
