Taking Care of Business- Shrimp Scampi(ish) + Giveaway winner

Thursday, December 4, 2014

I'm all kinds of thrown off right now and really need to get my life (and this blog) together! #HotMessExpress up in here! First thing's first: giveaway winner issss....drumroll pleaseeee.... Cindy! Check your e-mail, Cindy! Congratulations- YOU get a mascara!


Next: paleo update.

Um. Can we skip this? Harrison and I dominated the 1st 3 weeks, then Thanksgiving week happened and that was that. By the end of week 3 I was down 8 lbs (whoa!) and he was down 10. We haven't had the strength to weigh in this week. Liiiike:



Next: bomb recipe.



I got this lifetime supply of shrimp at Costco for $17 so we are gettin fishy around here. This is cleaned up version of shrimp scampi- confession: I despise creamy sauces so I actually have never tried shrimp scampi but this LOOKS like the dish I've seen in restaurants (and it smells like it too).

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

  • Cashew Sauce
  • Frozen shrimp (I got a bag of raw, tail off, un-cooked shrimps and used about 2/3 of the bag for this recipe. We only used half the spaghetti squash and half the sauce so you could probably cook the whole bag and have this meal for 4)
  • 1/2 spaghetti squash
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
Cook your spaghetti squash- I tried out D's method  this time and actually really liked how it came out!

When the spaghetti squash has about 10 minutes left in the oven, put your shrimp in a collander and run some cold water over it- JUST until some of the ice crystals have come off. 

Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat, then add the sprimps and cook for 5-7 minutes. These puppies don't take much to get cooked- even if they're frozen!

Scoop out your "spaghetti" and top with shrimps, tomatoes, and cashew sauce. Enjoy!

    I never start a new "diet" or incorporate new healthy living things in November or December because I KNOW I will fail! I applaud you for lasting three weeks.

  12. Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on this topic. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him. So I should thank you for the free lunch I got.

  13. 3 Studies SHOW How Coconut Oil Kills Belly Fat.

    The meaning of this is that you literally kill fat by eating Coconut Fats (in addition to coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

    These 3 researches from big medicinal journals are sure to turn the traditional nutrition world around!
