Yummm! This is dinner from Day Two of the February workout and diet plan. I guess I should come up with a name for it, since it has literally taken over my life for the past few days. Maybe something like.. February Diet Extravaganza.. FDE? Hmm.. no. I'll think of something, and get back to that later.
For now, here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup white rice (I used half a package of Uncle Ben's Ready Rice.. stick it in the micro for 90 seconds and it's done. Way easier.)
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 green onions, sliced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
Pepper
6-8 frozen shrimp
Pinch of paprika
Recipe:
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss bell pepper, lemon, thyme, green onions, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of oil, and some salt and pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet covered with tin foil.
Add the shrimp to the same bowl as before and toss with paprika, another tablespoon of oil and some salt and pepper. Nestle the shrimp in the bell peppers on the baking sheet. Roast until the shrimp are cooked through and the bell peppers are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Serve over the rice. This dish is 392 calories per serving.
This recipe is really tasty, however, I got a little pour happy with the red pepper flakes. I do love heat in my food, and I usually load them up on my pizza, but WHOA! I was literally ON FIRE while eating this dish. So I adjusted the recipe above to say "a pinch." You can always add more at the end, if you wish to.
I finished out the day with another Wii Fit workout. I did some more aerobics and a TON of pilates and yoga to stretch out my sore muscles.
So, any who, happy eating and thanks for reading!
