Chipotle Shrimp - 1 pound of shrimp marinated overnight in bottled chipotle sauce (with one teaspoon of cornstarch added). Put shrimp and marinade in large, deep skillet, add a can of diced tomatoes. Simmer on low, stirring occasionally while preparing corn cakes.
Corn Cakes - 2 boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix, 2/3 cup milk, 2 eggs, one can of sweet creamed corn and 1/2 can regular sweet corn. Mix and prepare just as you would pancakes.
Spoon shrimp and sauce over corn cakes and serve with fruit smoothies. Trust me, it's a perfect combo, it was delicious - except for the fact that I used shrimp I had in the freezer that had been cleaned and shelled, but it didn't occur to me that it still had the tails on until dinner was ready. Be sure to take the tails off if you try this, duh!
Wishing everyone a great weekend, cheers!
I'm impressed you're still persisting on it! I might have given up on Day one, lol.
ReplyDeleteSweet corn cakes...wow, that sounds really good, and what a great idea to pair it with shrimp!
that shrimp looks delicious Martha! and I think you are doing great with the challenge because you are having to be creative with what you have at home and not relying on doing a weekly shopping run, etc. Good job!!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend :)
betty
I am so proud of you for this challenge! I'm pretty sure I couldn't do this. Then again I have NOTHING in my freezer. I would have to eat beans. Every. Day.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to have Aldi's mac and cheese...
ReplyDeleteDoing well! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the birthday party. I am sick too so it was a quiet birthday. I appreciate the recipe there and on Meatless Mondays. I can use the faux fish to make this. I am becoming so creative.
ReplyDeleteThis is very impressive, what you are doing. I don't know how you are doing it, though. My freezer is pretty empty after Passover. I do have a little meat and a few pieces of salmon. I guess that really could go a long way.
I am still not taking the challenge. Kudos for you.
Those sweet corn cakes sound GOOD. I have jiffy mix in my pantry so just may have to try this. YUM
