Skinny Coconut Shrimp Skewers


Coconut Shrimp are one of those fried snacks that i love. I gravitate towards them especially when there is honey involved. So I decided to make a skinny version of the usually fried shrimp. They were so easy and quick to make!
Ingredients:

1/2 lb pre cooked shrimp
honey
coconut flakes
bamboo skewers


All I did was put the shrimp on the skewer and then on a greased baking sheet, drizzle some honey on top and sprinkle with the coconut flakes. Then flip them over and repeat that process. Pop them into the oven at 350 for 18min.

Plate and Enjoy!

Salmon & Spicy Baby Bok Choy


I'm not completely sure why I got obsessed with baby bok choy.. maybe its the adorable shape it has and it's bright green leaves. All I hear in my head is that theme song from chili's " I want my baby bok baby bok baby bok". Either way this dish was goooood, I baked the salmon and steamed the baby bok and it was both filling and flavorful.

Ingredients:

salmon
salt & pepper
olive oil
baby bok choy
red pepper fakes
1/2 tsp garlic
honey

For the salmon all you need to do is heat up the oven to 350.. sprinkle your salmon with salt and pepper and baste with olive oil. Spray the foil with non stick and make it into a bowl so the salmon can lay inside and you can fold it over. Then just drizzle some honey on top of the fillet to give it a sweet bite. Pop it in the oven for 20min and then open up the foil so you can see salmon and turn on the broiler for 5min.
Now the spicy baby bok... Let me give you a secret weapon of mine, meet the ziploc steamer bag!
This item is a lifesaver.. I don't really know how to steam veggies and this does it all for you! So I cut off the leaves and placed them in a bag and 2 min later deliciousness. Once you get them steamed, heat up a skillet with some olive oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes to your liking. Toss the steamed baby bok  in this until all leaves are covered.
Plate and enjoy!
