Salad... more shrimp.. and,hey, turns out I'm overweight, who woulda thought? ....

Orange Shrimp:

Yes. I'm on a shrimp-fest. What can I say? It's partially because I've been over-stressed & lazy, partially because boys don't seem to like to eat "vegetarian" food :)

(However, I've got a theory that if I didn't bring up the fact that it was PETA-friendly OR healthy.. and something was grilled.. it might be okay!...)

This wasn't the best thing I've ever made or eaten in my life... but it was still pretty good. Especially for how easy it was.

Laura, here is my jack-recipe:

-1/4 c cornstarch

-1/2 c water

-2 tbsp seasame seeds

-1/2 c olive oil

-1/4 c peanut oil

-2 oranges

-2 tbsp soy sauce

-1 tbsp crushed pepper

-shallot, thinly sliced

I put about 1/4 c cornstarch, 1/2 c water, and 2 tbsp seasame seeds in a bowl and mixed well. I then took the shrimp and tossed it in the "mixture". I cooked it for about 3 mins (in a wok with about 1/2 c olive oil & 1/4 c peanut oil), then transferred the shrimp to a bowl. In another bowl, I juiced an orange and a half, then added about 2 tbsp soy sauce & a tbsp of crushed chili pepper. I brought the mixture to a boil in the pan & then added the shrimp & shallot in. I then squeezed the rest of the orange over the shrimp & served with Jasmine rice. Bon Appetit!

However, sadly, the bmi chart on the internet says I'm fat. I've thought about it a lot and I do want to cook a little healthier... at least every once in a while. :)

I got a whole foods salad on my way home from work the other day and just thought I'd share. It was... relatively healthy... and also, delicious!

But, anyway...

if any of you out there have any healthy ideas... let me know!
