    I want that on a plate in front of me right now. Looks (and sounds) devine.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Beautiful! Bookmarked. 

    Culantro is used in some Caribbean recipes - I know its used in Trinidad, and known there as shadow beni (there are different variations of the same name). Tastes pretty much like cilantro, at least in curries.

    I found it in a Vietnamese grocery store here. BTW, to make your cilantro last longer, take it out of the plastic bag when you get home, and wrap in 2 or 3 layers of paper towels. Place back in the bag, but don't twist the top too tight, so it can breathe a bit. Keep it that way in the veg drawer of the fridge and it will last MUCH longer. 

    Your lunch makes me jealous :)

    That looks awesome.  I want to make them but wifey does not eat shrimp (or most fish).  Limits my menu.  I usually only get seafood when we dine out.

    i would test her on it, somehow all the ingrediants merge and though you do taste some shrimp, somehow you taste bacon, just dont put many shrimp on hers. if you had all the ingredients prepped, i think you could nuke the tortilla and assemble it easily at work as well
