Someone asked for the recipe for the Thai style shrimp I posted on FB. I am on meal plan 1, so my servings were based off that. If you are on another meal plan, you may have to change your ratios. It is pretty much the same for the ingredients, but I cook the salsa to give it more flavor.
4 oz Shrimp – Larger shrimp hold up better to high heat. I prefer the flavor of Argentine shrimp if you can find it.
100 g pineapple, diced (single serving divided in half so that you can add 1/2 serving mango).
70 g mango, diced (1 serving of mango is 140g, so it is divided in half)
25 g green onion (minimal carbs)
3 cloves garlic, minced.
50 g fresh Thai chili peppers finely diced
10 g cilantro.
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of white peppercorns (ground)
1 teaspoon (to taste) of Thai chili seasoning (Pretty Thai brand)I use a non stick skillet to cook all the shrimp, because you can’t use oil for the recipe unless you use it for your fat exchange. Let skillet get hot, on medium high heat. Mix all of the shrimp with the prepared ingredients, except the lime. Cook shrimp and veggies in portions so that each shrimp touches the pan, about 2 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp turns opaque, it is done. Once the shrimp is about done, I sprinkle some of the lime juice on to de-glaze the pan. The shrimp and salsa should be brown; if it is not, your pan isn’t hot enough.
I have 12-16 hour days during the week, so I have been doing the last two workouts on weekends. I usually take Mondays off. I agree, it is a lot of workouts at once. But it’s the only thing I can do to make sure I get my workouts in.
Shopping for the top sirloin: There are several varying labels for fat content. Some brands show 4-5 g fat/4 oz, while other brands are as high as 14 g fat/4 oz serving. Is it safe to go by the meal total macros listed on the bottom of the meal plan? (9 grams fat on the 5’4″ and under plan).
I cook my hash browns separately in a pain with the oil. I also cook my eggs and spinach separately. Just my preference. You can cut down the cooking time of the has browns my microwaving them for a minute or two.
I tried making it as well, and it didn’t ever turn out right. So I just made it as a shake and it tasted amazing.
I tried the recipe a few times and it never turned out right. I just made it into a shake and it was amazing! Just take out the baking soda and use pastuerized eggs whites. You will need a blender for it though because the peanut butter and honey won’t mix well in the shaker.
