Introduction:
Catherine, this is her meal, works a full-time job plus hours in order to run her life the way she chooses. For this meal she has thawed one of her pre-purchased packages of meat (in this case Scampi) for the centerpiece of a quick, healthy delicious meal. As an integral member of a small team at work she needs healty substance to eat for energy and performance. Protein and veggies being a good choice. Alongside a nice drink and some "crusty" bread. Fast preparation time and quick clean-up being the essence and accents. Making healthy things to eat before work in a "snappy" fashion!!
Ingredients:
- Small package of Scampi (washed, sorted, tamped dry)
- Garlic (powdered garlic-to taste NOT garlic salt)
- Chile (powder-to taste)
- Parsley (ground-to taste)
- Two to three tbsps. pure olive oil
- One small can of corn (drained)
- One small yellow bell pepper (diced)
- One large ripe red pepper (diced)
- One small zucchini squash (diced)
- Some "crusty" bread (to taste)
As subjects inside these images are views of some of the tools necessary for the preparation of this quick meal. The cutting board, knife for dicing, spatula for stir-frying the scampi prawns. The cutlery and dishes goes without saying, hopefully. Use caution around hot oil and a hot stove and no one will get burned which also goes without saying.
Method:
- Wash, dry, and dice veggies before the stir-fry. Bowl and set out of the way for scampi prep.
- Inside a twelve-inch deep skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
- Add the garlic, chile and parsley and cook over moderately high heat for ten seconds, stirring.
- Add the shrimp and cook over high heat, stirring once, for three to four minutes, until they are pink and curled.
- Season with salt and transfer to plate. Serve with crusty bread.
Voila
