RECIPES FOR PUTTING ON A GRAND SHOW AND MAKING A GREAT IMPRESSION ON VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE I wanted to include this recipe because it is another delicious meal I had while I was in Hawaii with the Vogts. Everything they had was so amazingly delicious and healthy, but this one was really a stand-out. Lynn began by taking some shrimp from a bag of frozen shrimp she bought at Costco, probably about 2-3 cups in all, and placing them in a Zip-lock bag and then pouring a small bottle of Italian salad dressing into the bag to marinate the shrimp. This she did about 5-6 hours prior to the time the meal was planned. Along with the shrimp, she made a pot of rice and a pan of wonderful stir-fried vegetables to go with the shrimp. It was all amazing and as I watched her, I realized easy a meal like this can be. It doesn't take a lot of time or money to put together a meal that is not only delicious but healthy, to boot. This one is a prime example.
2-3 C. frozen shrimp
1 8 oz. bottle Italian salad dressing
Fresh vegetables for stir-fry:
1 Italian eggplant
2 carrots
1 C. snow peas
1 medium onion
1 stalk celery
1 bell pepper
2 small zucchini
1 C. fresh spinach
2 T. olive oil for frying vegetables
Sauce:
2 C. chicken broth
1 can coconut milk
1 t. Thai red curry sauce
Rice:
1 C. brown rice
2 C. water
1 tsp. salt
1. Cook the shrimp on the bar-b-que about 5 minutes on each side
2. Heat a plate on top of the bar-b-que until it is too hot to touch to put the shrimp on.
3. Make sure the shrimp are completely cooked, but not overdone. 
4. Prepare the rice and set aside. 
5. Assemble all of the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce and mix in a separate saucepan.
6. Chop the vegetables up and prepare them for frying.
8. Stir-fry gently in olive oil stirring constantly until they are completely cooked but not mushy.Add the sauce to the vegetables and serve over the rice. Serve the shrimp on the side with dipping sauces as desired. They used a shrimp cocktail sauce and thousand island dressing. Enjoy!
