Food from Underwater

I love fish and I really should use it more. The little exploring I have done has lead me to scallops and shrimp. Yup, and I'm obsessed. 




Scallops with green beans
Recently, I've been all about the scallops prepared with some of the left over bacon grease (baked nitrate-free bacon) and olive oil with a little salt, pepper, and parsley. I have used green beans (boiled) as a side topped with lemon and sautéed onion, mushrooms, green pepper, and baked bacon. I will bake the bacon in the oven at about 350 until i see its done to my liking. This is one of my favorite recipes. Such a quick and healthy dinner. 



Shrimp. Grilled shrimp. Spicy mango salsa. Yum. 
Due to time constraints and convenience I used deveined and shelled frozen shrimp. You can use it however you'd like, of course. I marinated it in foil with lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh garlic diced, and red pepper flakes for about 20-30 minutes. I then put my foil boat on the grill for sometime less than 10 minutes. Not for sure. I was having a #frozenfriday drink with my good friend, Megan and we lost track of time. But the shrimp was not overcooked! There wasn't exactly a recipe for this one so here is what we came up with: fresh mango (3) diced, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
