Day 48
A theme developed yesterday and it was all about the Mediterranean. I had a hardboiled egg with fruit on the side in the morning. Then a niçoise salad with lettuce, green beans, red bliss potatoes in mustard dressing, Italian tuna, and olives for lunch, and shrimp puttanesca over spaghetti squash for dinner, all with no added sugar.
Also, a friend texted me that she had a Mediterranean cookbook that I might like to look at and I picked it up from her porch.
This all inspired me to share my Mediterranean Diet starter program with you. If you are interested, please check it out here.
Here’s how I made the easy and delicious shrimp puttanesca. No wine, no sugar, and all delicious.
Ingredients:
1 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Anchovy (filets, chopped, about half 2 oz. tin)
3 Garlic (cloves, about 1 1/2 tsp)
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (with juices, do not drain) Black Olives (sliced)
2 Tablespoons Capers
1 tsp Oregano (or 1 Tbsp fresh, chopped)
1 pound Shrimp (fresh, or frozen and thawed, tails and shells removed)
½ cup Basil chopped
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add in anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring and mashing anchovies with back of spoon until melted into oil.
2. Stir in tomatoes with juice, olives, capers, and oregano. bring mixture to a simmer on medium-high heat.
3. When mixture is simmering, stir in shrimp. Reduce heat and cook until shrimp are pink and white in color, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Let me know if you try it.
