What is the spice in your life? For me, this is an easy question to answer. Family & food. Put them together and the outcome rarely disappoints.
Here's a St. Valentine's Day menu plan.
Ingredients:
- 1TB olive oil
- juice of 1/2 lime (and wedges for garnish)
- salt
- pepper
- 1lb fillet of your choice, cut into 2 inch strips
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 1 yellow or orange pepper, diced
- 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 1 14 1/2 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 3/4 cup lite coconut milk
- 8-10 ounces peeled, uncooked medium shrimp
- 1/2 cup cilantro rough chop and some for garnish
- hot cooked rice
- hot pepper sauce
Mix the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add fish cubes; toss to coat. Set aside.
Prep the shrimp
"Mise en place" - Put everything in its place. This will come together quickly, so be prepared.
On medium high, sweat the onions, jalepeno and bell pepper in a glug of EVOO. Add some grinds of salt & pepper. Cook with attention, 4 minutes.
Add the undrained tomatoes and coconut milk. Simmer for 8 minutes.
Add the shrimp, fish and cilantro. Be gentle, fold the pot.
Back the burner down to medium and cook till done, about another 4-5 minutes.
Plate the rice first, ladle the stew atop and serve.
Goto your pan of brownies and use a cookie cutter. Top with ice cream and mint for bonus points.
