Lent!

With Lent in full course, our family doesn't eat meat on Fridays. So that means, that I had to put together a quick seafood meal to satisfy my picky siblings! With only a short period of time to work, I decided to go with a quick Asian inspired sauteed shrimp with dirty rice, pretty simple to make. You can basically make anything your making Asian inspired, by adding spices like ginger, teriyaki sauce, lemon grass, and over dozen more spices. For the shrimp I simply sauteed the shrimp with a little bit of ginger and white wine. When the shrimp began to turn pink I added a little more white wine, and pineapple teryaki. I let the shrimp simmer in the pan for maybe another 5min, so it can absorb all the flavors! As a side dish I took white rice and put it in a wok. In case you don't know what a wok is, it is a deep pan mainly used for stir-frying. Well I stir-fried the rice with some some finely chopped onions, bell peppers, garlic powder, lemon grass, and some soy sauce. I just stirred it for a little bit till the rice adsorbed all the flavors and dinner was ready to be served! Please feel free to try at home, just don't get burned!
