Happy New Year & may 2020 be kind to you & you kind to yourself. To start the year, I’m sharing this delish & very easy Orange Chili Shrimp & Snow Peas recipe. A little Asian-esque in flavors & cooking technique, this sprightly dish lies somewhere between a stir-fry & a one-pan wonder. Marmalade & orange juice for a little sweetness; soy sauce for depth of flavor & sambal oelek to fire things up a tad. Perfect for the hangry & the frantic, this is ready is less than 30 minutes – 20 if you haul ass.

ORANGE CHILI SHRIMP & SNOW PEAS

I used gorgeous jumbo tiger shrimp – prawns. Don’t use the pissy little shrimp. They’re only good for fried rice, spring rolls & popcorn shrimp. A bag of jumbo frozen shrimp will set you back about eight bucks. If you’re not a shrimp fan (chances are you’re not reading this recipe), then sub chicken. If, like me, you’re a seafood lover, scallops would be fabulous as well as or instead of the shrimp.

Shrimp are quick to cook, no more expensive than beef – or chicken really & are low in fat & calories. Another Asian-inspired shrimp meal – Quick & Easy Pea & Shrimp Green Curry – perfect for the harried. Or for something a little Mediterranean – Tomato & Olive Shrimp – another quickie. One Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp & Broccoli requires almost no effort. All of these can be on the table in less than 30.

Fresh Hunger has a new recipe template, this one shows the nutrition content of each recipe & a conversion button for imperial to metric. This is something I pay for hoping it helps people, especially those watching their carbs, calories &/or fat intake.

One last thing, please take a moment & spare a thought for my fellow Australians who are battling the worst atrocity my country has ever been through – bush fires, ravaging everything in their path. If you’re a giving person, please donate. The Salvation Army is always a good one – click on the link & scroll down to the “donate now” button. People in Australia need your help. Thanks, Lovoni xo

ORANGE CHILI SHRIMP & SNOW PEAS

Adjust the level of chili paste to suit your taste. I like it hot so I use twice as much as the recipe calls for then I add extra on mine when I serve it. This is good served with rice, couscous or roasted butternut squash. I served it on its own in part due to laziness & cutting my carbs; serve it with whatever floats your boat or just as-is. I used tiger shrimp for this recipe but use whatever extra large – jumbo shrimp you can find or that’s affordable. You could also add a segmented orange into the mix if the mood takes you there.
