Awesome Seafood Dinner

On the menu:
Blackened Tilapia
Shrimp Scampi
Mussels
Veggies with Cheese Sauce

The Blackened Tilapia was so easy to make and requires
only the fish and some common herbs and spices.
I got the recipe here.




The Shrimp Scampi was SeaPak brand. Very tasty.


If you are making this meal for more than two people,
I suggest making it from scratch. Here is the recipe I use.

The walmart brand mussels I got were a great buy.
2 one pound bags for $2.50.


They were very simple to make. You just stab a bag a few times,
microwave for 6 minutes, and viola!! Mussels!!

The veggies were Green Giant brand.
Feel free to pick which ever you prefer.
We used Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce.

Quick and Easy Chinese Food

Recipe Name	Quick and Easy Chinese Food
Appliance	Microwave
Prep Time	2 Minutes
Cook Time	3 Minutes
Dish Type	Main
Ingredients	Tyson Brand Chicken Breast Strips Minute Ready to Serve Rice Teryaki Sauce or Marinade
Instructions
Take two containers [one package] of Minute Rice, flavor is your option; I used Brown Rice, and place them in the microwave with bowls turned upside down over them. Set timer for 2 minutes on high. When one lid pops, take that one out and leave the other in till it pops as well. The directions say to put one in for a minute, but this never seems enough for me, and the rice is still hard. When the rice is done, take the chicken and split it between the two bowls. Pour about one tablespoon of teryaki sauce in each bowl and microwave for one minute. Dump one container of rice in each bowl and stir. Add more teryaki sauce if needed. Enjoy!!
