It's What's for Dinner- Week 3

Last week's meal planning went well. The only night we diverged from the plan was Friday because we had an impromptu night out. This is what's cookin' this week.

Monday- I think we're back on the Nanny circuit this week. If not, we'll just have leftovers.

Tuesday- Shrimp and Langostino Ceviche**and "Fried" Plantains

Wednesday- Fend for yourself night

Thursday- Stuffed red peppers, salad

Friday- We'll go for the sushi this night. Homemade Salmon Sushi and Sashimi and Edamame.

Ceviche recipe

Ingredients

1 pound of shrimp; 1 lb langostino tails

1 large red onion

3 cups of orange soda (I use diet orange soda)

1 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 cup of ketchup

2 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cut the onion into long thing strips -julienne style. Place them in a bowl with water and 2 tablespoons of salt and let it settle for 10 minutes. Then gently rinse with water. This will remove the bitter bite from the onion and make it sweeter.

In a large bowl, mix the onion, orange and lemon juice, ketchup, cilantro, salt and pepper.

Add shrimp and mix.

Enjoy cold.
