In the shrimp vein, I've got something else for you to cook up, again, very low carb.
Take a stick of butter and melt it in a pan.
Throw a bit of garlic in there, it can be the jar kind, or fresh if you're fancy. Put your shrimp in, in an even layer. Cover and leave it alone for a while.
After they're all nice and pink (no more visible grey), cover with parmesan cheese (fresh if you can!). Recover to let it get all melty.
Dump in a bowl and eat with some greens!
Enjoy!
Well, I got cooking tonight, and shrimp was on sale. Made lunch for tomorrow!
Start off with a pound of shrimp.
Slap that stuff right into a hot pan, at about medium heat. Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray very lightly, so it doesn't stick. Spread them out evenly.
Salt and pepper to taste, and throw a bit of chili powder in there (for good measure!). Leave them cook until they are the right color (you know what I mean). Crispy is good!
Chop them up into thirds, smallish pieces. We don't need shredded shrimp, but small pieces is good. Throw them in a mixing bowl with a cup of real mayonnaise, a half cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and a up to a tablespoon of Sriracha.
Mix it up good!
You think that looks pretty good? Me too. But its not quite ready, it needs… Bacon. Yep. Get some nice thick bacon.
Throw two pieces on a paper plate, with paper towels underneath. A minute and a half on each side in the microwave, and chop it up nice, crumble it, even.
Mix it all in. I use "Artisan Lettuce" romaine lettuce to make my lettuce wraps. Spoon that goodness into the lettuce!
Looks good, doesn't it? Lunch tomorrow is HANDLED! Very, very few carbs. Enjoy!
Alright, so… I wanted ice cream, and I remembered that I got an ice cream maker as a wedding present. Neat, right?
So, after a bit of googling, I made some ice cream that is really very good, and decent for you too!
Ingredients:
This recipe makes a little over 16 oz of ice cream, so if you're using a ceramic container (like I am), throw it in the freezer awhile to chill it out.
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and whisk it until its all mixed up.
Toss it in the ice cream maker, and let it do its thing for 20 minutes or so, until its the consistency of… you guessed it, soft ice cream!
Use a spatula to scoop it all into your container (from the freezer), and freeze it for about 4-5 hours. Enjoy! (note, pay no attention to the frozen bacon fat.)
You can make a ton of different flavors, I just used Cocoa and Vanilla for this. I've also used 1 Tablespoon cinnamon, and its very good!
For the entire batch, the total nutrition facts are:
Its really good!
