Paleo Shrimp Curry!

It's Friday night and time for something "Fast" friendly.

We wanted to shake up our traditional shrimp casserole somehow. So here's what we did.

One whole bunch of celery, chopped small.

One large onion, chopped similarly.

I fried the celery and onion together in a bit of olive oil until they were starting to brown.

I then cooked a two pound bag of raw shrimp until done.

 I added the shrimp to the celery/onion mixture and put about three teaspoons of curry powder on the whole. I stirred it all together and, voila!

Here's the meal.



It was delicious. We're thinking this same meal could be made with pork or chicken replacing the shrimp. I'll let you know.

Paleo Shrimp Dinner!

By our Orthodox Tradition, we try to avoid meat on Wednesdays and Fridays. But as CrossFitters, avoiding protein entirely on any given day is just not good for health. Luckily, shellfish are not classified as meat in the Tradition, since they have no blood in them (not really true, but let's go with it).

So here's tonight's Paleo Shrimp Dinner. Note, all of these quantities are variable, depending on your taste.

Take three peppers. Clean and dice.
Take one large onion. Chop.
Fry peppers and onion together in a little bit of olive oil. I cook them in a large Wok which will later become the recipient of the other foods as well.
Set them aside.

Clean and steam or boil three large broccoli heads until soft. Set aside.

Take two pounds of shrimp (I use de-veined but uncooked, tail-on shrimp. I remove the tails and proceed). Cook until done (they'll turn a bright orange.

Now, you simply take the shrimp and broccoli and mix them together in the large Wok with the pepper and onion. The broccoli will basically reduce down to a paste around the rest of the ingredients.

We personally add some creamy goat cheese to this mixture. Remember that our ancestors ate goat's milk for much longer than cow's milk, and as a result most people digest it very well. If you don't add any cheese, the meal will still be awesome.

Here's the meal, paired with a nice Gewurztraminer.
