With no car of my own relying on others to shuttle us for groceries delays a lot of shopping. This month it was a combination of that and having surgery and not being up to cooking for almost a week. Compound that with very high temperatures that have us closed up with AC on all day so cooking anything in the oven or creating smoke is not good.
Fixed pan fried chicken sandwiches last night and they were delicious of course, but forgot we had pickle slices! Drat! Oh well, still chicken pieces left over for another go around. Today I went relatively easy using some of the shrimp left over from last months purchase. With only 2 adults, bulk buys go a lot farther.
Teriyaki Shrimp and Rice
1 tbl butter
2 tbs green onion chopped
½ tsp pepper and salt
3 cloves garlic crushed
1lb shrimp
2 bl teriyaki sauce~
½ tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
½ (or full 8 oz) bag stir fry veggies
1 c rice cooked
Clean and rinse shrimp, pat dry and put in bowl with lemon juice and ½ of crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to coat well. Add in 1 tsp teriyaki sauce and chopped green onions, stir to coat and set aside.
Add butter to large pan on medium heat with ½ of crushed garlic, cook until fragrant, add in shrimp and stir with tongs to turn shrimp over when pink, when almost done add in veggies and the remainder of teriyaki sauce. Add in pepper flakes mix well then turn heat down to low and cover pan for 5 minutes.
Serve over cooked white rice.
I almost added in some canola oil then changed my mind and left it out. Glad I did.
Oh yes and another inspiration that worked out really well, a very simple ramen bowl. Basic Maruchan chicken ramen package, a handful of stir fry veggies, garlic powder, chopped green onion. That's it., usually use crushed garlic and a good dash of ground pepper as well.
Easy meals for being not up to snuff lately. Not sure what I'll fix tomorrow but pulled out stew meat chunks... maybe something taco style or something. Will see what happens.
