I really did steal this dish.  Don’t tell anyone.

Get some big fat shrimp and some of those wooden skewers to shishkabob with.  Put about three shrimp on each skewer.

In a side bowl, mix approximately one tablespoon olive oil, a half a teaspoon of ground cumin, a teaspoon of chili powder and 2 teaspoons of chopped cilantro.  Add juice from a lime and mix.  Put the shrimp in to marinate for about half an hour.

Pull them out, the slowly roast on your grill, turning with regularity so you don’t burn them.  Baste with any of the extra mixture left in the bowl.

Like any other recipe, if you have a love for one of the spices above, feel free to add a bit more to your taster.  Quite frankly, I love all of them, so I don’t which I’d add to make it better.

Serve with wild rice and a fresh veggie and you’re good to go.  Stealing can be a good thing.

My nephew put this brat breakfast together one morning, so be forewarned, this is a young adult male feast designed to add bulk and hot food to your intestine.  We had brats the night before, so this dish is something to consider if you have some left over the next day.

Slice the brats like you do cucumbers, only slightly thicker.  Warm them in the skillet.  In a separate skillet, scramble some eggs.  When both are done, layer the eggs on top of the sliced brats.  You can eat this as a stand-alone or on a tortilla.

Get some shredded cheddar cheese and put that on top of the eggs.  Pull out the Tabasco sauce and shake some on top of this (you can also use salsa if you prefer).  Done.  You now have a wake-you-up, fill-you-up, tasty, spicy breakfast that gets rid of some of your leftovers, tastes great AND gives you heartburn.

What more could you ask for to start your day?
