Garlic Broccoli Shrimp Stir-Fry

So simple, so yummy!

I found this recipe on the beloved Tasty by Buzzfeed app and made it a while ago with the mental note of making it again and often; it is so easy and very yummy! 

For more sustenance I ate it with brown rice, but you could serve it with noodles, quinoa, or just about any other starch you like! This recipe is so simple and versatile; jazz it up however you like! It made about 4 helpings for me, perfect for meal prep!

Here's the ingredient list:
- 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined*
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of broccoli
- 1/2 onion, diced**
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce (I used low sodium)
- 2 tbsp. sesame oil, divided***
- 1/2 tsp. salt, divided

*I actually prefer to buy the precooked shrimp from the meat/seafood counter at the store, but you can use raw if you prefer!
 **We all know I have an aversion to the texture of cooked onion, so for this I subbed about a 1/2 tbsp. of onion powder
***If you don't have sesame oil, vegetable or canola oil works just as well!

Here's how to make it:
1. Heat 1 tbsp. of sesame oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat
2. Add shrimp and 1/4 tsp. salt
3. Fry shrimp for 1 min. each side
4. Remove shrimp; add in remaining sesame oil
5. Add onion (if you don't sub for onion powder) and remaining salt and saute until onion is soft*
6. Add broccoli, garlic, and soy sauce and saute until garlic is fragrant (~30 secs)
7. Toss shrimp back into pan, mix until all ingredients are incorporated, and fry for for another minute (or until shrimp is fully cooked if starting with raw shrimp)
8. Enjoy!

*If you are like me and hate onions, add the onion powder when you are frying the shrimp for the last minute so the flavor is incorporated amongst all the ingredients!

Introduction Hey Y'all! My name is Tara and I created this blog as a way for me to have some sort of outlet for all of the things I have going on in my head - there's a lot! I plan on writing about a lot of things going on in my life (random thoughts/rants I need to get out into the world, family, friends, etc.). I also plan on sharing a lot of recipes because I LOVE to cook and bake! I have also recently started reading a ton of books now that I have more time on my hands (more about this later!), so I want to share my thoughts on various books that I finish reading - a mini book club if you will! This will be a kind of hodgepodge of things happening on my blog, but it's just a sneak peek into my brain and what goes on in it. My goal is to write a new post every Thursday, but I may post more often if I have a lot on my mind or less if I have a busy week.  Here's a little bit about me: I currently live in Chicago, IL where I am a graduate assistant athletic trainer...

Chicken Noodle Soup

It's officially fall, which means... It is SOUP season! I found a decent recipe for classic homemade chicken noodle soup and I was fairly please with it. I spiced it up a bit and added some extra garlic and onion powder and added some dried oregano or dried rosemary with a bowl if I was feeling it. Great for those chilly fall days or for anytime you're feeling under the weather! This made about 8 servings, which was dinner for over a week for me! Here's the recipe: - 2 tbsp. butter (I used salted because I was using low-sodium chicken broth) - 1 cup of onion, diced (If you're like me and have an aversion to the texture of cooked onions, you could sub this for a couple of big tablespoons of onion powder) - 2 garlic cloves, minced - 1 cup of celery, diced - 1 cup of carrot, diced - 1/2 lb. cooked chicken, shredded (A rotisserie chicken works great for this - I believe I used the whole chicken!) - 7 cups of chicken broth - 2 cups of egg noodles (you ...
