    It is so rare for me to serve something new for dinner that my daughter, Amanda, ends up loving, that when it happens I feel like I need to share it with the world immediately. She's had shrimp for dinner before, and asked for it  last night, but somehow she thought I was going to make shrimp cocktail like we have for holiday dinners. I thought she was going to have a fit when she found out I was cooking the shrimp.

    My original plan was for a crunchy baked shrimp, but the dogs and Amanda distracted me and I ran out of time, so I changed plans to shrimp and peppers over rice at the exact time I would normally have dinner ready. It was okay, though, this shrimp and bell pepper skillet was ready about 20 minutes later.

    This easy sauteed shrimp was a hit with all of us, even my daughter. Loved it, yes, she loved it! She didn't eat the sauteed bell peppers because she thought they were spicy peppers. No amount of explaining could convince her otherwise, but other than that, this was a winner all around. I love easy shrimp dinner recipes.

    I used boil-in-a-bag brown rice, and started the shrimp skillet cooking at the exact same time the water with the rice started to boil so they were both done at the same time. If you don't like rice this would be good over thin spaghetti, or serve as sauteed shrimp and peppers with a salad on the side.
