This recipe comes from Lidia on Create TV.  We just watched the program that featured this frico and it looked so delicious that we had to find the recipe.

It is one of those versatile recipes that you can add whatever ingredients your family loves.  I would definitely add mushrooms!

Those potatoes look delicious!

Love this easy prep recipe that is also versatile.  Change the type of cheese or make additions like fresh mushrooms to suit your family's tastes.

Please note that although this is meant to be cooked on the grill, it can also be baked in the oven.  See note on recipe.

Florida Gulf Shrimp and Sweet Pepper Stir Fry

Looks delicious!  The Captain and I make a similar recipe that does not including the sesame seeds, onion or orange juice, but we will be tweaking the recipe to make it a cross between this recipe and ours.

What I would change on this recipe . . . take the tails off the shrimp (so much easier to eat), add a pinch of cayenne pepper, use at least one or two poblano peppers (you can never have enough peppers) and garlic.

Don't overcook the shrimp . . . we usually take it off the heat as soon as it turns pink, otherwise it gets rubbery-like.
