It's that time of year when I invariably start to hunker down for the winter. That means cleaning out cupboards and tidying shelves, as well as baking and cooking and filling up the freezer. The Curtis's have something on every night, so a freezer full of easy to prepare meals and lunch treats is a must. With that in mind, I'd like to share a new recipe. Buy a bag of big frozen shrimp from Costco (I buy the ones in the pink bag) and use it to make 2 or 3 freezer bags to grab when you need a fast meal.
KICS LEMON ZUCCHINI SHRIMP
Divide the bag of shrimp into 2 or 3 ziplock freezer bags (depends on how many you need to feed) and do not thaw.
Add To each bag
1 chopped zucchini
1tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 c olive oil
1 tsp minced hot chili (leave in the seeds if you want it hotter)
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tsp minced ginger (I Keep a ginger root in the freezer and just grate what I need)
1/2 KICS Lemonade Syrup
Mix it all up in the bag and pop it back in the freezer. When you need a quick meal, stir fry it over high heat and serve it over freshly cooked rice. If you want an even faster meal, you can cook the rice ahead of time and split it into bags too. Staple the bags of rice to the bags of shrimp (above the plastic zip) and steam the rice while you are cooking the shrimp.
