Tonight I cooked shrimp for the first time ever. Pathetic, I know, since it's one of my favorite foods. I'm just wary of eating shrimp or fish 1000 miles from the ocean. It's got to be really fresh. Smith's had some on sale and it looked good, so I chanced it, and it was good!
I marinated the shrimp in 1 T olive oil and the juice of a lime for a couple of hours in a plastic bag in my fridge, then seasoned it with some spices and broiled it for about 4 minutes. Serve with sauteed veggies, and voila!
Robb Wolf's Food Matrix really helped me with mental block when it comes to cooking (which isn't my favorite thing). Just choose meat, oil, veggies, and spices. I actually start getting ideas and craving veggies based on that formula. He says he cooks 90% of his meals that way. And it doesn't take very much time. Turns out different every time, too.
Now THAT'S a meal......love shrimp!
