Tasty Thursday - Copy Cat Mexican Shrimp Dish

There's this one Mexican restaurant by my parents house that has a dish called "AC Shrimp."  I haven't seen it at any other restaurant, but it is amazing!  I decided to try and recreate it at home, and while it's not exactly like the dish at the restaurant (really, it's never the same is it!?) it still turned out pretty dang good!

I started some Spanish Rice,

 I cut up a green bell pepper, half an onion, a summer squash, and some broccoli and sauteed them in the skillet until they were soft.  Then I threw in some precooked shrimp to heat them up.

 

 I put some mexican cheese dip in the microwave and melted it,

 

then served it all on top of the rice.

Yum!  

Do you have any good copy cat restaurant recipes?  I know this isn't a complicated dish, but I was pretty proud of myself for thinking this up, and it totally satisfied a craving I was having for Mexican food!  If you try it out, or if you've had it before and have any suggestions for making it better, I'd love to hear!
