Today had been an extremely long work day. I had finally finished all my projects and low and behold, it was late. It was not only late but I realized I hadn't had breakfast or lunch and now it was dinner time. Sadly, my poor hubby was ever so patient and never complained about starving either. Times like these, I grab for something quick. And today I just happened to have a box of Vegetarian Plus Vegan Shrimp in my freezer that I was saving to make my vegan fish/shrimp tacos
but I knew that would take way too long for these starving folks. And though the box of shrimp came with a chili packet, I wasn't in the mood for it. I sometimes just feel like being an original and want to create something with fresh vibrant flavors and thus...created this.
It's lemony (my favorite flavor) and full of a nice subtle heat and a nice hint of sweetness too.
Try it, I think you'll love it.
Lemon Chili Vegan Shrimp
1 box Vegetarian Plus Vegan Shrimp
(This is out of site. I always think they must have really put real shrimp in the box mistakenly. It's that good!) Save the packet for a later use. (I use it on my tofu or rice at another meal)
1 tsp of each of these:
oil
lemon zest
chili pepper flake
sriracha sauce
bee-free honee
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
juice from half the lemon
In a hot pan over medium heat, add oil, chili pepper flake, sriracha sauce, garlic, lemon zest and shrimp and cook for two minutes stirring a few times. The zest of the lemon is going to hit you in the nose. It smells wonderful! Add the juice of the lemon and honee, stir a few times and you are ready to serve. I served mine over rice but sky's the limit. Enjoy...
