About a week ago
the library volunteer brought in some recipe books
for the moms to look at.
I spied a dish I thought looked delectable.
I didn't have a chance to write it down
because I was chasing Monster and entertaining Roly Poly.
However, the ingredients were easy enough to remember,
and I knew the changes I wanted to make
(eg no jalapenos because I don't do spicy).
Also, I rarely accurately measure for dinner,
so no measurements needed.
This is how the meal turned out.
Looks DELICIOUS, right?
Okay, so here's what it includes.
Shrimp:
about 20 shrimp sauteed in oil.
I used Wild Tree garlic and lemon grape seed oils
(about 1/2 tbl each)
I also added about 1/2 tbl minced garlic.
Kiwi Topping:
4 Kiwis chopped
about 1/8 c. Cilantro finely chopped
Juice of 1 small lime
Mix all of this together and serve on top of the shrimp.
For a side dish I made a simple cold lentil salad.
Prepare lentils according to directions on pkg.
*remember not to add salt to boiling water because it will toughen the lentils
Let cool in fridge.
Add the juice of 1/2 lemon.
Add 2 garlic cloves minced
mix and serve.
This simple salad was surprisingly good.
Lentils are also EXTREMELY good for you.
This is a GREAT, low calorie meal.
Plus it is really fresh and summery for the months to come.
