    Do we need a second recipe?

    Yes! First person to post a recipe gets to have their recipe be the recipe of the week :)

    How about some shrimp!

    You'll Need:
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    Red pepper flakes
    1 small red onion, thinly sliced
    1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
    Salt and black pepper to taste
    Chopped flat-leaf parsley
    Zest and juice from 1 lemon

    How to Make It:
    *Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is light brown, about 30 seconds. (Careful! Garlic burns and turns bitter easily.) Add the onion and continue cooking until it is translucent.

    *Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and add to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and lightly caramelized. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve as is or on top of a small portion of buttered linguine, quinoa, or couscous.

    Makes 4 servings

    Sounds yummy. Could you add me to the group please? This is just the type of group I need to keep me on the straight and narrow. Can I ask some advice though? I am in England and don't understand how to swap a cup measurement to grams or litres. Is it easy enough to do?

    Welcome!

    I use google to convert cups to grams. It's not always completely accurate, but it gives enough of a gauge.

    So we had the cabbage dish. Substitutions that I made:

    I only used half the head of cabbage, I used shredded cheese instead of soup, I used frozen brussel sprouts in butter, and I used crushed Keebler reduced fat club crackers.

    I loved it, but think it would have been just as good without the brussel sprouts. My kids did not like it as much as I did. I'm not sure if we will be having this one again, but I would like to try it again in the future. I'll just have to bribe them to eat it. It's not personal. They just aren't used to me cooking cabbage that way.
