Amazing Deep Fried Shrimp

These shrimp that I made were actually left over from a pasta and then I deep fried them, but I will go over what I did anyways, and even let you know how I made the pasta in the next post.

This recipe is for a single serving, or around 8 very small shrimp.

You will need:
  • 8 small shrimp, fully cooked, completely thawed, deveined and removed from the shell
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon of water
  • 1 tablespoon of chicken broth
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  •  1 teaspoon of parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon of chilli powder
  • 1 tablespoon of flour
  • 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
To start, mix the cornstarch and the water in a bowl. Pour a small amount of olive oil in your pan and add the garlic. Add the cornstarch mix until fully mixed and garlic is browned. Next, add the chicken broth, the lemon juice, and the spices. Mix thoroughly. Add the shrimp and saute for a few minutes.

In a deep bowl, mix together the flour, bread crumbs, and salt.
Without patting down the shrimp, add them to the flour mixture and toss until coated entirely.
Pour some olive oil into a frying pan - enough to cover and then add a bit more, and heat to medium-low. Test your oil by tossing in some of the flour mixture. If it begins to sizzle, it's ready.

Fry the shrimp until golden brown, flip, and repeat.
Remove the shrimp from the frying pan and place on a paper towel. Pat dry.

If you would like dip, mix a teaspoon of mayo with half a teaspoon of teriyaki sauce.

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

Image
This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...
