Limes
Limes were originally grown in Asia,introduced by the Arab traders to the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa and then brought to Americas by the Spanish and Portuguese explorers. They are a great source of vitamin C and their zesty flavor refreshes the palate. On a hot day,a frozen lime cooler is a real thirst quencher. In a 5-to-6 cup blender add: 2 cups crushed ice Directions Alcoholic version Coconut shrimp is the perfect appetizer to go with the above drink. Fisherman's Warf Coconut Shrimp Serves 6(2 shrimp per person)
12 jumbo raw shrimp,cleaned,peeled and butterflied Directions Serve with Cool Lime Dipping Sauce Directions One of my favorite recipes is shrimp marinated in soy sauce and lime juice, then grilled and stir-fryed with baby bok choy and fresh spinach. Tanned Shrimp
(Serves 4) Chill the mixture for four hours, shrimp should absorb the marinade's dark color. Remove shrimp from the bag and grill on a stove top grill or electric grill for five minutes on each side. Into a pot of boiling salted water: Wilt(for 2 minutes) 2 lbs of baby bok choy then remove and drain Wilt(for 1 minute) 1 lb of fresh spinach, remove and drain In a large wok or heavy skillet add 1-Tablespoon peanut or canola oil and salt and cracked black pepper to taste Add shrimp,wilted baby bok choy, grilled shrimp and wilted spinach. Stir-fry the ingredients for five minutes and then serve over a mound of jasmine rice(2-cups water,1-cup rice)cook on medium low for 20 minutes. A light and refreshing fresh lime juice and rice wine vinegar salad dressing is mixed and then the salad greens are tossed right into the bowl.
