Peanut Banana Muffins

Since I have exactly 3 ripe bananas sitting on the counter at home...

1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup peanut butter chips

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  In a small bowl, whisk the egg, butter and bananas.  Sit into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.  Bake at 375 for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.  Serve warm!

Sweet and Tangy Shrimp

If you know me, you know how much I LOVE shrimp.  My parents used to own a restaurant called The Shrimp House, for cryin' out loud!  Here is another simple and delicious shrimp dish.

1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1-1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp minced fresh gingerroot
1 tbsp canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
Hot cooked rice

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; set aside.  In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry shrimp and ginger in oil until shrimp turn pink.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.

Add the ketchup mixture; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.  Sprinkle with onions and sesame seeds.  Serve with rice.
