@stev - shrimp are high in fat...but the good fat I was told by a nurse. I will find out more in nutritional counseling. What I do know is they are very high is salt content. So what I did was gave my buddy who cut my lawn more shrimp than I took for myself.
Thanks for all the kind words guys. I was messaging a member tonight who had a "incident" like I did. It helps....thanks.
This was dinner.....
I like the blend of honey/lime juice/Ghost Pepper rub so much I put it on the asparagus too:
Took a little over half the chicken and put it on a arugula salad tossed with some Greek Yogurt based Blue Cheese dressing:
Picked up a salmon filet today and started the process for Indian Candy Salmon. The brine is made with Demerara brown sugar, water, salt, honey and Amber maple syrup....I trimmed the amount of salt down some:
This is gonna sit in the fridge for 18 hours then I will air dry it for 18 hours in a cool room with fans on it. Sunday it will get smoked on low for a few hours. Lying in the hospital last weekend it occurred to me that the only "regular" item in my smoking rotation that I could continue to make as often as I like would be the smoked salmon. This recipe I use has way more sugar than salt....I just trimmed it back by about half to see how it turns out.
