Lemony Shrimp & Shirataki

Quiet Sunday afternoon... snow was falling... I pulled a Chef Pepin move of "Use whatever is in the fridge." :-) What I ended up with was a twist on a previous shrimp dish that deserves its own spot on the blog. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp - cleaned, tail off, cut in half
• 1 lb Shirataki noodles
• 2 tomatoes - diced
• 3 cloves garlic - smash-minced
• 1 yellow onion - chopped
• 2+ tbsp lemon juice
• citrus salt to taste
• olive oil as needed

Preparation:

Rinse the Shirataki noodles in a fine mesh colander for to minutes. Let dry for a few minutes and then add them to a dry nonstick Dutch oven over medium heat. Toss repeatedly for a few minutes until all liquid has evaporated. Add the lemon juice and citrus salt and allow it to be absorbed during tossing. Remove noodles from pot and set aside, covered.

Add olive oil to the pot and saute the shrimp with some citrus salt until shrimp are just done. Remove from pot and set aside.

Add onions and garlic with olive oil to the pot and saute until translucent and onions are just getting soft.

Add the tomatoes and saute until tomatoes begin to break down and the mix becomes a bit creamy.

Next add the shrimp and Shirataki noodles and gently blend it all together. At this point adjust seasoning with more citrus salt and/or lemon juice.

Serve immediately and listen for Yummy Noises.... :-)

Blessed be... and happy cooking!
