Thai Red Curry Shrimp

Ingredients
Medium-sized shrimp, without shells or veins
Butter
Trader Joe's Red Curry Sauce

This is a super-simple, super-quick recipe. Defrost shrimp, if frozen. Saute shrimp on high with a little butter in a frying pan. When shrimp is cooked all the way through, turn heat to medium-low and add red curry sauce. Let sauce and shrimp simmer.

Serve red curry shrimp over rice, brown or white.

Simple Salmon



Ingredients
Piece of fresh salmon (defrosted if frozen)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic (lots!)
Two lemons
Olive oil

1. Set the oven to broil.
2. In a baking pan lined with aluminum foil, coat the salmon, front and back, with olive oil.
3. Coat the front and back of the fish with garlic.
4. Pepper the salmon - don't be afraid of a heavy hand.
5. Add a touch of salt to both sides.
6. Cut a lemon in half. Squeeze half over one side. Squeeze half over the other side.
7. Slice the other lemon into circular rounds and place on top of fish for aesthetic purposes.
8. Place the fish in the oven for 8 minutes.
9. Turn the oven off and leave the fish in for 7 more minutes, or earlier, until fish is medium-rare.
**Never leave the fish in the oven for longer than 15 minutes in total.

Serve simple salmon with a starch (cous cous or rice) and a green vegetable.
