With the change of season, we have been away on our spring vacation, and though I did some shopping when we came back I found that a lot of my spices, including salt, were gone. Fortunately, I just received Amazing Taste seasoning samples. These seasoning packets turned out to be extremely useful, adding great flavors to several of our meals. The Amazing Taste seasoning mixes include Beef Seasoning, Burger Seasoning, Seafood Seasoning, Pork Seasoning and many others.
I used the Amazing Taste Burger Seasoning to make this fabulous Tex-Mex style burger by mixing the seasoning with ground bison (about 1/3 of a packet for 1lb bison) and a little bit of soy sauce. I served this burger with a shredded four-cheese blend, avocado, and salsa on a toasted Kaiser roll.
I also added the Amazing Taste Seafood Seasoning to a Shrimp Scampi with Asparagus. We really liked the flavors of the seasoning mix with the baby shrimp.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup baby shrimp
1.5 tablespoons Amazing Taste Seafood Seasoning
1/3 cup white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
10 asparagus tips
Directions:
Prepare pasta and steam asparagus tips for 4 minutes.
In a large skillet melt oil and butter over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until shrimp will turn pink on all sides. Add Amazing Taste seasoning and mix well with shrimp. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Pour wine and the lemon juice over the shrimp. Bring liquids to boil and lower the heat. Simmer for about 3 minutes. Add butter and asparagus tips, toss with shrimp and simmer for one more minute. Serve shrimp scampi over pasta.

Due to a battle with a virus on my computer which we have successfully defeated, I am a little behind on organizing my vacation pictures and write-ups but I will be featuring the London posts here all next week!
