Today's Menu: Fried Shrimp w/ Roasted Asparagus and Sliced New Potatoes

 

 

For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin that I topped with Smucker's Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Very windy out all day but the humidity is gone and we had a high of 79 degrees. Finally some relief from the heat and humidity! Later after Lunch I got the 4 wheel cart out and got some yard work done. Beautiful day to be outside doing something. For Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Shrimp w/ Roasted Asparagus and Sliced New Potatoes.

 

While at Meijer last week I picked up some more of the Black Tiger Shrimp. A couple of weeks ago we had some and they were delicious! This batch looks just as good, there is some huge Shrimp in this batch! For the Breading I'm using Zatarain's Fish Fri Crispy Southern Mix.

 

To prepare the Shrimp I rinsed them off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Seasoned them with Sea Salt. Then put them in a Hefty Plastic Storage Bag and added Zatarain's Crispy Southern Fish Fri Breading Mix, shook the bag until all the Nuggets were coated. Then pan fried them in a medium size skillet in Cooking Olive Oil. Fried each side for about 2 minutes, until a golden brown. The Zatarain's Crispy Southern Fish Fri is perfect for Seafood!

 

For a side I prepared Roasted Asparagus, that I also picked up at Meijer earlier today. To prepare it I'll need; 1 bunch of Asparagus (fibrous bases removed), 1 Tablespoon of Crumbled Bacon or Bacon Bits, Ground Garlic Salt, Sea Salt, Freshly Ground Black Pepper, and 1 tbsp Extra Light Olive Oil. To prepare it is easy; Preheat the oven to 400F. Place the Asparagus in a baking tray sheet. Add the Bacon, Garlic Salt, Salt, Pepper, and Extra Light Olive Oil and toss to coat. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool a couple of minutes and serve! Comes out tender and delicious!

 

For another side I heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced New Potatoes. I use a lot of Del Monte Vegetable Products, always delicious and store a lot longer than fresh Vegetables. To prepare them I emptied the can into a small sauce pan. Heated it on medium heat until heated through. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.
