Day 7: Curried Shrimp w/Slaw Salad and Sauteed Squash

TB and I have decided to tweak the diet. Straight out denying oursleves of things didn't feel right at all. I spent an entire day craving sugar worse than anything I'd ever craved. That had never happened before. So we adjusted things:

1. No processed foods in the house or at work
2. Limited use of bread and pasta but must be whole grain
3. Treats are few and far in between and must be the serving size

Sounds better yes? Easier to follow at least!

Ok so on to dinner! Very yummy all of us,(TB, HB(best friend)and I) loved it.



Ingredients:

2 lbs of shrimp
2 carrot
coleslaw mix
1 lime
Curry powder
1/2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter
2 yellow squash
Garlic powder
Salt
Evoo

Directions

Slaw Salad:
1. Slice one carrot very very thinly(I used a veggie peeler) and add to coleslaw mix
2. Add juice of one lime
3. Set aside for flavors to mix

Shrimp:
1. Toss shrimp into skillet with evoo
2. Add curry powder to taste
3. In one corner of the skillet melt butter and add flower, stir till mixed
4. Mix flour and butter into shrimp and curry (This will just make the curry into a bit more of a sauce)
5. Serve over Slaw Salad

Sauteed Squash:
1. Dice carrot, nuke 1-2 min to soften
2. Slice yellow squash
3. Add both into a skillet with evoo
4. Add garlic powder and salt to taste
5. Heat through until squash is a soft enough for you


Enjoy!
