Answer 2

Thai, Japanese, or Indian curry. Very easy to make! Thai and Indian are spicier (depending on which kind you buy) than the Japanese. Japanese curry is not spicy at all and it is thicker than the other two. You can make them with or without meat. For Thai and Indian you need coconut milk. The japanese curry you can just buy the roux and cook it with water. I learned how to make a tuna casserole a few years back from my sister. Buy cream of mushroom soup, milk, tuna, and the pasta that has a twist shaped such as fusilli. Cook the pasta, and mix it with the cream of mushroom, milk, and tuna with salt and pepper. Then i use those fried or baked french onions that you can buy at grocery stores. Top the casserole with it and bake it! Takes half an hour or so with the pasta cooking + bake time. Lemon garlic shrimp! Yum. Place jumbo shrimp in a bag with flour, paprika,Cayenne pepper, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. You can omit the paprika and cayenne pepper. You do this to create a crust on the shrimp. Cook it in a pan and squirt lemon juice after you take the shrimp out of the pan. There are tons of recipe online! Or if you like a certain food, just look it up on google and you'll get lots of different result. Say you want to make salmon. You can find recipes on teriyaki salmon, baked lemon salmon, and so much more.
