Chili Lime Shrimp w/ veggies

This is a quick, easy and healthy recipe that I got from Cookinglight.com, the shrimp part is from them, the veggies and the toasted sesame seeds I added.

Ok the basic recipe is like this...

1-1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tsp chili poweder

3/4 cup chopped green onion

2 tbsp fresh lime juice

2 tbsp butter (or margarine...whatever you have)

1/2 tsp salt (optional)

What I added:

1 tsp chili powder (for the sauteed veggies)

1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder ( 1/2 tsp for each the shrimp and the veggies)

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp butter

2-3 cups snow peas

2 cups bean spouts

2 baby bok choy (chopped)

toasted sesame seeds (you can toast your own Ill tell you how at the bottom of the page)

Ok lets cook:

First if you bought whole shrimp you need to peel and devein them.

Ok heat a skillet over medium heat with about a tbsp olive oil, or use cooking spray and add green onions. once you hear them cooking add your shrimp and chili powder (use only 1 tsp of the chili powder and 1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder if your going to use it.) cook shrimp about 4 minutes or until done. (if your only going to cook the shrimp and not the veggies skip to the part where you make the sauce, if your going to cook the veggies keep reading)

Remove shrimp from pan and add a bit more oil or cooking spray to pan. Then add your bean sprouts, bok choy, and snap peas. Stir almost constantly at first, then just on occasion. Add the rest of the chili powder and chipotle chili powder. Once veggies are done add shrimp back to pan and let them all heat together for a couple of minutes. Remove contents to a bowl and place skillet back on stove.

For Lime Sauce:

Add butter and lime juice to skillet and stir together.. once combined remove from burner.

Plate your shrimp and veggies. Add lime juice and serve.

If your toasting sesame seeds keep reading...

use a little skillet and turn a burner on low to medium low. Place desired amount of seeds in skillet and let sit... stir every now and then until you see a light brown color coming to the seeds then remove and garnish your plates with them...

Lastly, this meal can be served over rice, and you can garnish with extra green onions if you so choose.
