Sesame Shrimp

Sesame Shrimp ..... serves 2

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 dash lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Hot cooked rice
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic powder and lemon-pepper; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet, saute shrimp in remaining sesame oil until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Serve with rice if desired. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Marie's Note: I followed the recipe for the shrimp, marinated it in most of the sauce, and then grilled it on an indoor grill pan and sprinkled it with the sesame seeds. I put the shrimp in a salad made up of cooked pasta (tossed in a little of the marinade.....reserved before putting the shrimp in it), shredded coleslaw mix, green onions, diced red pepper and roasted peanuts. Chilled the whole thing before serving.

No-Rise Pizza Dough (an AllRecipes recipe....Pizza Dough 1..... suggested by Kristin Pichura and altered by MDB)

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1 cup whole wheat flour
3. 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
4. 2 tablespoons olive oil
5. 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
6. 1 teaspoon salt
7. 1 tablespoon white sugar
8. 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

Directions

1. Combine flour, salt, sugar, italian seasoning and yeast in a large bowl. Mix in oil and warm water. Spread out on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Top as desired. (I used homemade pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, sliced yellow, orange and red peppers, sliced green onion, chopped & seeded tomato, basil & rosemary, and chopped cooked chicken sausage).
2. Bake at 375 degrees C (190 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.....or a little longer until the crust is cooked to the desired firmness (after the 20 minute cooking time, I turned the oven to 400 degrees and put the pizza on the top rack until I liked the crust texture).
