Trader Joe's Bang Bang Shrimp

If you have ever had Bang Bang shrimp from Bonefish Grill, this is almost exactly like it.  I didn't know what to make for dinner, so I was looking around Trader Joe's.  I saw this, "Firecracker Shrimp" and decided to give it a try! I would say it is pretty darn close to the Bonefish one, but you can make it at home!

I lightly fried them in the wok.


It comes with a packet of chili sauce, and you just add it! Simple!

Trader Joe's Tilapia & Brown Rice

With school starting, it is much easier to get into a routine.  I am doing this 3 day detox diet, and one of the meals was fish, rice, and spinach. I am the worst rice cooker, so when I saw pre-cooked brown rice at Trader Joe's I was sold.  I'm not a huge fish fan, but can handle the mild taste of Tilapia.

This recipe (fish & rice) only required me putting it in the oven and microwave! Trader Joe did the rest! If you want a quick, easy, and healthy meal, head to your nearest Trader Joe's! The fish came with 3 fillets, and the rice was about 1 1/2 cups.  So it could make a meal for 3.  I froze one fillet to have later!

These fillets would be great for fish tacos too!



Place under broiler (lower rack) on low for 10-12 minutes. 


Open pouch to vent, heat for 60 seconds in the microwave! 

I did squeeze the lemon it came with over the fish. 

Place on foil, sprayed with cooking spray. Broil on Low for 10-12 min

Serve tilapia over rice! Enjoy!
