The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Tasty and easy shrimp fajitas, ready in under 30 minutes. Hint: think outside the box with additional toppings. Guacamole, diced tomatoes, etc can dress these up further.
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
2 medium onions, sliced
2 bell peppers, seeded and sliced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
8 flour tortillas
sour cream and salsa (optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon each oil and lime juice, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to coat shrimp.
Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook onions until translucent, 5 minutes. Add peppers, remaining salt and pepper, stirring frequently, 5 minutes more. Stir in 2 tablespoons cilantro. Transfer to an ovenproof bowl and keep warm in oven.
Heat skillet over medium heat and add shrimp. Saute until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in remaining lime juice and cilantro.
To serve, wrap each tortilla around vegetables and shrimp. Serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.

Perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Not overly fancy but full of flavor and spice. You can add other toppings if you wish (I was thinking some guacamole would have been awesome on these).
