Hawaiian Sriracha Garlic Shrimp

INGREDIMENTS:
2 lbs 16-20 U Shrimps, head off, shell on and butterflied (the bigger the shrimps, the better!)
Butter (any kine)
Minced garlic to taste
Sriracha Chili Sauce
Worcestershire sauce (optional) . . . personally, I no use this
Optional - baste flower and then cook up.

Directions:
1. In pan #1 - Put butter & garlic in pan, put shrimp in butter.
2. In pan #2 - Put Olive oil in pan and heat, add onions & mushrooms.
3. In pan #2 now add sriracha over the mushrooms and stir up.
3. Mix together and your good to go.






2. Over medium heat, melt 1/2 stick butter with 1 tablespoon Olive Oil. Add a heaping spoonful of garlic and begin to saute' 20-30 seconds. Add shrimp in a single layer and allow to fry 1-1/12 min. depending on the size of shrimp







3. Flip shrimp over and cook for another 30 seconds before adding 1/4 cup Chicken Stock, 1/8 tsp salt, 3-5 dashes of Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, squirt of lemon juice and 2 squirts of sriracha sauce. Toss together another 30 seconds and pull off the heat immediately. Repeat process with remaining shrimp until all is cooked.






4. Serve over rice with extra lemon on the side for the perfect Hawaiian shrimp truck experience. Must be eaten with hands, sucking the delicious garlic butter off before peeling and shoving rapidly into your waiting mouth.




COOKING NOTES:
1. I had a small pan at my sister’s house so I did this recipe in 3-4 batches. But you can easily do it in 2 if you have a bigger skillet. This is all to your taste, if you don’t like spicy, go easy on the pepper sauce and vice verse. I was cooking to my family’s taste.
2. Don’t over cook the garlic! It shouldn’t be crispy by any means. It should be soft, sticky and a bit nutty.
3. It occurred to me after the fact, but some sliced scallion would be dead nice with all this shrimpy butter goodness.
4. If you aren’t a rice eater, get some bread and toast it up nice and crispy to dip into the gorgeous butter broth.

7day weight loss wonder soup

INGREDIENTS
... ½ head of cabbage, chopped
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup white or yellow onion, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
14 oz can basil, oregano, garlic diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
few shakes of black pepper
½ teaspoon salt (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add celery, onions, bell peppers, and carrots.
Saute until slightly tender.
Stir in garlic.
Pour in chicken broth.
Stir in tomatoes and cabbage.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat.
Cook until cabbage is tender.
Stir in oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper and salt (if using)
Taste broth and adjust seasoning if needed.

So here is a brief overview of the 7 Day Cabbage Soup diet plan.

Remember: This diet should only be followed for 7 days at a time, with at least two weeks in between.

Day One: Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water. (I had coffee, no cream or sugar).

Day Two: Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

Day Three: Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

Day Four: Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five: Beef or Chicken And Tomatos: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for beef on one of the beef days (but not both).

Day Six: Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart’s content beef or skinless chicken and vegetables this day. You can have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

Day Seven: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

Stick With The Cabbage Soup Diet For 7 Days…And Look Amazing Later, Too!

Be sure to eat your soup at least once to day.

No bread, alcohol, or carbonated beverages, not even diet soda.
