A Healthy Tip for a Fab Thursday »

Bad for Driving

January 28, 2009 by applec

This is what our day looked like here in New York…

Jan 28 Snow Storm

Jan 28 Snow Storm

Pretty much just me and that other car on the main road. People get smart as the weather gets worse.  Ok – before you get too depressed by that bleak looking picture, I have something to cheer you up… A CONTEST! 

Go to Diet Dessert N Dogs, leave a comment and your in!  There are six yum-a-licious prizes.

WAIT!… I have another one for you. How does Mini Carrot Cake sound?  Check it out at Baking Delights.  I would be absolutely THRILLED if you would let me know you entered the contest via a comment below.

Dinners on….

What did I decide to do with my shrimp and scallops?  Well, I was feeling a little zesty and mixed up the following:

Shrimp and Scallop Zing

  • 1/4 cup Smart Balance
  • 4 TBS lemon juice
  • 2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Old Bay Seafood Seasoning

Mix all the above and microwave for about .5 seconds.  Just enough to melt the Smart Balance into the mix but don’t get it too hot because you don’t want to cook the shrimp and scallops yet. 

For the shell fish, I used about 1/2 lb Sea Scallops (rinsed and dried), and 1/2 lb raw shrimp (deveined and tails/shell removed).

Add the marinade to the shell fish in a bag and let sit about an hour. I let it sit about 20 minutes and it wasn’t long enough to incorporate the flavors into the fish.

Preheat broiler. Spread the shell fish on safe broiler plate and broil about 4″ from element for about 2 minutes per side.

Served with Jazzed Up Green Beans:  Put a microwaveable bag of beans in microwave for 2 minutes.  Pour 1/2 TBS EVOO into saute pan on med. high, when heated, add beans, pinch (or more) red pepper flakes, a splash of Worcestershire, and 1 TBS sliced Calamata olives. Saute about 4 minutes.

dscn0015The result…. it was a tasty dish but lacked the “zing” and the “jazz”.  Maybe a little more red pepper flakes into the beans and maybe even into the shellfish marinade.

The agenda tonight is wide open. We watched “Mamma Mia” last night and really enjoyed it. We can’t exchange the movie because the weather is just prohibitive.  I do have to make a call to our B&B in Key West to see if we should make reservations some place for Sun. evening.   Speaking of which, if a day like today doesn’t make us over anxious to get out of the cold and get to the sun, nothing could.  So look out Key West, FL and get ready for 2 snow birds!

Have a great night all. 9679

    Love the blog! Taking pics of your food is a great idea! I should really do that, maybe it would inspire me to try harder!

    It’s a great way to keep track of what works, what doesn’t. Check out the “All Squash Do Not Cook The Same” post to see what I mean. A big WHOOPS! Have a great day!
