Avocados and shrimp are a match made in heaven. If you ask me the light creaminess of the avocado goes well with the light taste of the shrimp.
This fresh salsa doesn't take much prep.
1 small red onion 1 or 2 tomatoes 1 large avocado 1 jalapeno 6 boiled shrimp (can be grilled too) lime juice cilantro would be nice if you have it. salt & pepper
Dice everything up and mix it up in a bowl. Let sit i the fridge for 20 min to get happy. Eat & Enjoy!
I woke up today wanting squid for dinner. I'm Greek, these kind of things happen to us every once and a while. Anyway, I went to the market after work and the squid looked great, and smelled like the sea (like it should). I bought some and took it home - the rest is history...
1/2 small red onion diced 1/2 cup bell pepper diced (green, yellow, and red) 1/2 pound squid rings 1/2 bottle CurrySimple Gourmet Chilli Lime Sauce (yes they use 2 L's in their Chilli) Cilantro Lime wedges
Soften the onion in a spot of butter w/ a small pinch of salt. Once softened, add the peppers and cook for 1 minute. Add the rinsed squid to the pan and the chilli lime sauce - it will only take a few minutes for the squid to cook - DO NOT over cook them or you'll have a bowl full of rubber bands to eat... Squid either stays in the pan for just a few minutes or and hour no in between.
You could serve this over rice but I say just enjoy the squid. The chilli lime sauce has a good flavor and is a bit spicy (which is nice)...
Give this one a try - If I can do it - So can you...
You will need the following (but don't be afraid to add things you like):
.5 lb Fresh mozzarella 1 jar Sun dried tomato spread (or make your own Basil 1 baguette olive oil balsamic vinegar Some love...
Cut the baguette into rounds (or whatever makes you happy). Spritz with a bit of olive oil Top with sun dried tomato spread Top a basil leaf Top with a slice of mozzarella Broil until happy Hit it with a bit of balsamic vinegar...
Pad Thai literally means "Thai-style stir-fried noodles". I think it really means "Rice noodles of love...".
If you are using a Pad Thai sauce (like the one I used from CurrySimple www.currysimple.com) this is a very easy dish to make. Without using a pre-made sauce it's a bit more involved.
You would think we were getting paid from them to use their stuff but that's just not true - It's just that good of a product so we like using it!
Anyway - This couldn't be any more simple. Soak your rice noodles in water until they soften. This should take about 20 minutes or so. They will soften in cold water and they won't be starchy like they are when you use hot water. Once your noodles are ready, stir fry up your tofu, chicken, scramble your egg, add the green onions. Add the rice noodles and pour on your Pad Thai sauce (I used about a quarter of a cup but you can use more if you like). Mix all of this well and bring it to temperature. Add your bean sprouts and mix through. Plate up your dish and add chopped roasted and salted peanuts, cilantro, and a wedge of lime. Eat and Enjoy!
1 package rice noodles softened in cold water 1/2 brick of firm tofu cut to your liking 1/2 pound of chicken cut to your liking 3 green onions sliced into bite sized pieces (you can use more if you like) 1 egg - scrambled in the pan 1/4 cup pad thai sauce (from CurrySimple www.currysimple.com) cilantro roasted salted peanuts lime wedges
There are thousands of Pad Thai recipes out there - This one came out really dang good! It was super simple and very tasty without the hassle of making your own Pad Thai sauce...
