Dinner & a Movie

This week Dawn chose a recipe from a cookbook created by the ladies guild at All Saints Anglican Church here in Palatka. I always knew Ratatouille was some type of dish but didn't know what it was. But I sure did like the movie with that name!

Here's the recipe as-is from the book, though Dawn substituted pre-cooked leftover chicken for the shrimp for her fam. Sounds like something I can enjoy on my diet.

Shrimp Ratatouille

1 lb fresh shrimp (peeled and sliced long ways)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 small zucchini (sliced thin)

1 small eggplant (peeled and cut into cubes)

1 medium onion (thinly sliced)

1 medium green pepper (cut into 1 inch pcs)

1 cup mushrooms (sliced)

1 can tomato wedges

1 1/2 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp each crushed basil, dried parsley

1/4 tsp pepper

In a large frying pan or wok, saute the fresh veggies in oil for 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add meat, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.
