Shrimp Scarmbled Eggs

If you want a delicious meal that combines the luxury of seafood with the simplicity of breakfast? Well I made a recipe that did just that. I combined delicious shrimp with simplistic eggs and boom a wonderful meal.  The meal was easy to make and absolutely delicious.

After gathering all of the ingredients, I mixed the eggs and all of the spices together. I even got to use a special white pepper as seen in picture 4.

Then I threw in the scallions. The scallions add a little green to the dish and also make the dish a wee bit healthier.

To make this meal a little less fatty I melted ghee into a hot pan. Ghee is made by making butter but skimming all the excess liquid fat off of the top. After the Ghee was shimmering, I put the shrimp which I had just husked, into the ghee and cooked the shrimp.

After the shrimp were all cooked I just poured in the egg mixture.  I had to watch out for the ghee cause it was poppin all over the place. The eggs had to be "soft scrambled" and not hard or dense. 

When it was done I put the eggs on a few plates and topped them with a couple for scallions.

My siblings were big fans!!

Overall this meal was terrific and very easy to make. I can not wait to make it again. What kind of seafood would you mix in with your favorite meal?

Tropical Fruit Smoothie Bowl

A twist to the average breakfast

Breakfast, as we all know, is the most important meal of the day. Our energy levels, mood and concentration are all affected by what we eat in the morning (Turner 8). This is why I brought it upon myself to find good/ fun breakfast recipes. Although I have never had a problem with not eating breakfast, I have had a bad habit of eating somewhat healthy foods for breakfast. I normally eat a bowl of honey nut cheerios, a fried egg and maybe a banana every morning.  Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we shouldn't settle for "somewhat" healthy foods! From eating these healthy recipes, my end goal is to feel energized throughout the entire school day. I've chosen the book Superfood Breakfasts by Kate Turner so that I can enjoy healthy breakfasts every morning.

I decided to make a tropical fruit smoothie bowl which Turner describes is best, "For mornings when the skies are gray and you feel as if your immune system could use a boost, try this smoothie bowl which is loaded with vitamin C and anti-inflammatories" (Turner 30).

Ingredients:

Serves 2

1cup of frozen tropical fruit smoothie blend

1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice (or store bought)

1/4 tsp ground turmeric

Topping

2 small cubes of watermelon cut into small chunks

1 tbsp of coconut flakes

1 tbsp of cashews

1 tbsp of yogurt
