I really didn't want to go grocery shopping yesterday, so I put together a dinner made with things we had in the fridge/freezer, which I love to do. I defrosted some shrimp, made some brown rice, and a salad with mixed greens, red pepper, carrots, broccoli, red onion and feta. Just drizzled some balsamic on top. I wanted to do something different with the shrimp, so I got out some Jade Peanut Sauce.
We found this sauce in Williams-Sonoma probably ten years ago, it's got a nice spice to it, and even though it's peanut based, it has 7 grams of fat and 120 calories for two tablespoons, and a little goes a long way. So I sauteed the shrimp in a bit of olive oil, along with the peanut sauce.
looks good, huh?

Ooh...Looks good! We've been using a sweet/sour sauce on all our stir fries lately, but I know it's not healthy, so this might be an alternative.
Can I come over for dinner? This looks so good and sounds super easy!!
Nice job on 60 miles this month!!!
Btw: tell me your new post picture isn't the stuff in your purse? LOL! I just bought a new purse this past weekend because I'm trying to downsize-tired of carrying everyone else's stuff. Know what? The "stuff" I want to carry bareley fits so I'm carrying a small satchel too!
I don't eat shrimp, but that salads looks great.
That looks incredible! I love peanut sauces, so I'll have to check that one out (although going into WS can be dangerous!)
Hi Molly,
You are such a cooking machine! I really need to look in my freezer and put something together like that:) I wish I had shrimp...my little guy loves shrimp and I know he will eat it!
Nice job with your running and way to get some extra training in with the kettlebells:)
That looks really yummy! the salad, the rice & shrimp...looks like something I would love to have for dinner! The peanut sauce sounds yummy and I bet you can use it for lots of different things.
Mmmm that does look really good! The peanut sauce sounds like a good idea - I'll have to remember that!
Well, you can throw all of that on a crust and call it a pizza!!!
looks like heaven.
I swear that peanut sauce will make 99% of anything taste great!
Looks yummy! I love peanut sauce!
I'm with you on cutting back on the December indulgences, but it's tough with sweet stocking stuffers still hanging around the house!
sadly, I became allergic to shrimp. Which happens to be my fave. Boo!
I love peanut sauce!
Yummy! I live in Bubba Gump country, so always looking for ways to do shrimp! I totally am with you on being over the indulgences of Christmas and football season. Almost time for baseball season though, yay!
That is one of the most delicious things I have seen in awhile - GIRL, I'm coming over for dinner! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally HAVE to make that. YUM YUM YUM!!!!!!!! (it's really not fair, though, I'm still home sick and couldn't possibly go the grocery store, but when I get better . . . I'm making that!!!)
I was totally thinking shrimp tonight! But I don't have any of that sauce. I have a recipe that calls for mango and cilantro, which I don't have either. Back to the drawing board!
Looks so good! I wish I was having that for dinner tonight!
Oooo that looks good. Never tried peanut sauce, but maybe I will now.
That looks awesome. I am going to go get the sauce right away!
YEA!! I'm so excited! Thanks!
Your food looks amazing, BTW!
That looks and sounds delicious!
