Quick Shrimp

Shrimp is my go-to quick meal protein.The great thing about Cameron’s Seafood selection of mail order shrimp is that, depending on how much cooking time you have, there are options; cooked seasoned shrimp, raw fresh shrimp and cooked peeled cocktail shrimp. Raw shrimp cooks in about 5 minutes and pre-cooked shrimp can be reheated in as little as 3 minutes (if thawed). The perfect time saving protein!

• 3 tablespoons mezcal tequila
• 1 lime juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 each 12 inch whole wheat or white flour tortillas
• 2 cups brown rice or white rice cooked (I like using the microwavable Spanish or chicken flavored rice but plain cooked rice will work nicely too)

• 1/2 cup fresh tomatoes diced

Instructions

1. In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Sauté garlic and peeled shrimp for 2 minutes and carefully deglaze pan with tequila (remove pan from the heat source briefly while you pour in the tequila and then return to the heat-careful, you may get a little flame). Continue to sauté for 2 minutes, add lime juice and season with salt.
2. Place your tortillas on a clean work surface and evenly stuff with rice, beans, cheese, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, onions and cilantro.
3. Roll each into tight cylinders and tuck in the ends, to keep the filling inside the burrito.
4. There are a few ways to heat up your burritos….

5. -Oven method: place burritos on a parchment lined sheet pan and brush with butter. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

6. -Stove-top method: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush burritos with butter and place seam side down into the hot pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes (flipping once) or until

7. lightly golden brown.

8. -Panini method: brush burritos with butter and place on a preheated panini press. Gently press (to much pressing and all your filling will smoosh out) and cook for 6-8 minutes or

9. until lightly golden brown.
10. Top warm burritos with sour cream, jalapeños and serve with a couple of lime wedges.

Hibachi Style Shrimp and Vegetable Fried Rice

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

Hibachi sauce:

• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 3 tablespoons chicken or seafood broth
• 1 tablespoon sriracha optional
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or avocado oil for a healthier option
• 1/2 cup yellow onion peeled and minced
• 1/4 cup carrot peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup zucchini diced
• 1 lb. Cameron’s Seafood Fresh Shrimp peeled
• 3 garlic cloves peeled and minced
• 3 cups brown rice or white rice cooked
• 2 large eggs

Toppings:

• sesame seeds
• fresh chopped scallions

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl whisk together soy sauce, broth, sriracha, brown sugar and sesame oil until smooth and blended. Set aside.
2. In a large wok or skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Sauté onion, carrots and zucchini for 3 minutes or until al dente (I like my zucchini with a little bit of char on it-fyi). Stir in shrimp and garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in hibachi sauce and add rice. Toss mixture together until thoroughly combined. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Make a well in the center of rice mixture, exposing the bottom of the skillet and crack in eggs. Scramble them with a fork and let cook until fluffy, about 5 minutes, do not stir rice while eggs are cooking (this will let you rice get a little crispy).
5. Stir cooked eggs into the rest of the rice and serve. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
