ShRiMp ReCiPeS

My two favorite things to do with shrimp are both really easy and really good.

1. Take sugar snap peas, start to cook with a bit of butter or dry white wine in a pan. Add raw shrimp and garlic. Cook until done. eat.

2. Make shrimp ceviche. Cut up tomatoes, cucumbers (some countries don't use, but I like them in there), onion, jalapeno, shrimp, cover in lime juice. Done. Eat.

Making this tonight:

2 lbs shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail on
1 t. olive oil
small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
sweet red pepper, sliced thin
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can light coconut milk
shredded fresh basil or cilantro
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Heat olive oil in large skillet on med-high, add onion and soften, add garlic and red pepper slices, sautee until garlic begins to get fragrant. Add shrimp and toss until they are halfway cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and coconut milk and cover for 5 minutes. This should be enough time to heat tomatoes and coconut milk thru, and finish cooking the shrimp. Serve over rice or grated cauliflower, top with shredded basil or cilantro and feta.

I made this using shrimp and chicken the other night! Served with a side of veggie! Could probably also serve with rice or cus cus (spelling? lol)

SCAMPI!!
Saute some garlic in olive oil, add the shrimp and cook until just pink, deglaze with dry white wine and bring to a boil, letting shrimp cook to a "C" shape ("O" is overcooked). Sprinkle with black pepper, parsley and lemon juice. Eat as is, or over some pasta.

My other favorite is to wrap large shrimp in a half piece of bacon, skewer and grill, broil, or pan fry until bacon is crisp and shrimp is pink.

Lately I've been cooking this a lot as my husband loves it (he's definitely NOT into clean eating normally)

Ingredients:
400g shrimps (or prawn meat) - fresh (or thawed if frozen)
1 can garbanzo beans - rinsed
juice and rind of half lemon
1 Tbs olive oil
parsley
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
salt and pepper

Method:
- preheat oven to 450 degrees
- in a baking sheet mix garbanzo beans with 1/2 Tbs of oil and a bit of salt. Mix well and spread in a single layer
- bake for 20 minutes
- in the meanwhile in a bowl mix shrimps, remaining 1/2 Tbs of oil, juice and rind of lemon, salt, garlic, chilli and pepper and leave to marinate
- when the beans are done take out the baking pan, and pour shrimps and their marinade on top of the beans and top with a bit of parsley
- bake for another 5-8 minutes

Serves: 3
