I'll be talking about a giveaway at the end of the post, stay tuned!
I forgot to take a picture at the bento box (tupperware actually) but I took one at my plate:
It took a bit to make this because I had to peel the shrimp and save the shells for stock. Underneath there's plain rice and the vegetables came from the freezer and sauté'd.
- Shrimp with skin on, defrosted.
- I decided to leave the end of the shell for better presentation.
For the shrimp, what I did was:
- Heat a pan with a little olive oil and put a small dried red pepper along with whole (slightly mashed) garlic. Let the flavour come out a bit and then start putting the shrimp (which had salt and some lemon juice) gently and flip it over until it's nearly cooked. Don't overcook shrimp or it'll feel like chewing gum.
- Here's the shrimp just cooked.
As you can see, I didn't peel off the garlic because I like the flavour that it adds to the rest and prevents the garlic from burning too quickly. It's a shame whole shrimp can be so expensive. We can't really afford buy this, and this one we got was from relatives that were really nice in sharing some :D
Yesterday I was running through my RSS feeds and one of them had a "Win a Tamagoyaki pan"! I immediately read the whole post and wanted to enter the contest. I have been looking for a tamagoyaki pan for a while now and there are none available in my country :(
So, if you want to join the competition and give it a try, here's a direct link to the post. Thank you Sarah for hosting this event!
