1LB of Mahi Mahi, or other Fish
3 T Soy Sauce
1 T Minced Garlic
3 T Balsamic Vinegar
2 T Olive Oil, Divided
1 T Honey
1/2 t Ground Ginger
Hot Cooked Rice & Crunchy Sauted Vegetables

To make marinade mix together soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, 1 T oil, honey, and ground ginger in a dish or ziplock bag. Add fish. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. Reserve marinade

Start rice, if you're going to cook it. Cook fish in 1 T of oil in pan, add small amounts of marinade as needed so fish does not stick and burn. Remove fish from pan, cover, and keep warm. Add veggies and leftover marinade to pan. Turn up on high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marinade glazes over.

Serve fish with Veggies and rice. Yum!

This is my very first shrimp recipe! Shrimp is very healthy for you, but I generally only like it deep fried. Now i'm branching out and trying to find delicious shrimp recipes. Found this one while browsing "Superbowl recipes" and decided to give it a try! The original recipe called for butter, but I used olive oil because it's healthier for you. 1/4 C of oil, in my opinion was too much, so I'm going to cut it down to about 2 T and post results here at a later time. If you don't like things spicy, then leave out the crushed red pepper flakes and the cayenne pepper.

2 lbs Shrimp (I liked the already cooked kind because I don't know how to cook it just yet)
1/4 C Olive Oil
2 t Minced Garlic
1 t Oregano
1 t Basil
1 t Thyme
1/2 t Cayenne Pepper
1/2 t Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Black Pepper
1/2 C Beer
Hot cooked pasta or Rice
2 C Frozen Veggies like Broccoli

Start pasta or rice cooking. Meanwhile combine olive oil, garlic, spices, and herbs in a pan. Saute on low heat until fragrant. Add frozen veggies, shrimp, and beer. Cover and simmer until warmed through and shrimp are done. Server over pasta or rice.
