Ribeye Steak and Grilled Shrimp

Rice

Method

Ribeye Steak and Grilled Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Rub the marinade over the ribeye steaks and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the ribeye steaks for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Toss the shrimp in any remaining marinade. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and opaque.

Cheese Enchiladas

  1. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a corn tortilla, fill it with a spoonful of shredded cheese and a bit of the sautéed onion, then roll it up. Place the rolled tortillas in a baking dish.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Rice

  1. 9

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
