I was all gung-ho about being the next great food blogger, and then, like so many other hobbies and such, I fell off the band wagon. I know, sad right? So here I go, attempting to revive this sham of a blog into something wonderful and fulfilling. I have a feeling it will mostly be about food and crafts, but I'm willing to let myself be surprised. So onward, ho! (heh, ho.)
Now that THAT's out of the way, a post!
I've been trying to eat a lot healthier lately in the looming shadow that is my best friend's wedding (which I'm standing in). However, as a SWF in a polyamorous but oh-so loving relationship, it's often difficult to cook for one on short notice, especially when I work such odd, service industry hours. So today, I give to you a healthy meal I thought up all by myself! It works great if you only have a half hour to both prepare and eat dinner. Feeds 2, but I like to just split the recipe in half and eat it a couple days later. So, here goes.
Pesto Shrimp Veggie Pasta
1 c. whole wheat spaghetti
1 handful of 12-16 per lb cooked, frozen shrimp (I get mine at costco for SUPER cheap.)
1 pkg Green Giant Simply Steam in your choice of flavour (I used the
anti-oxident blend for this recipe) -->1 tbsp pesto
1. Set a pot of salted water on the stove to boil. Place spaghetti in pot once boiling and cook to desired al dente-ness.
2. While pasta is cooking, place the shrimp in a colander and run warm water over the shrimp until thawed. Throw the Steamer pack in the microwave and cook according to package instructions.
3. Throw the thawed shrimp and steamed veg into a bowl and mix together. Place a pot lid over the bowl to retain the heat.
4. Drain the pasta and place back in the pot. Add the pesto and mix thoroughly.
5. OM NOM YAY.
