Then I used precooked shrimp that I heat up and just spoon a bit of the sauce over them or dip them in the sauce. This was really good on chicken and pork also. I didn't try it over fish but I don't see why it wouldn't go over a mild white fish easily to. Enjoy!! *huggles* Felicia =)

YUMO! I will add that to my list to try. I am in heaven. I just got three colossal shrimp at the food store when I went put it a pan with a little butter and a little carlic s&p and oh my gravy it is good. I am just in heaven. You seem to be so good at shrimp...how many grms of protein in a shrimp??? Thanks for the shrimp ideas!!! Melissa

About 1 oz is about 8 grams of protein give or take depending on what source you check lol. I have a soup for tomorrow then thought I would give some chicken recipes a whirl for next week unless some other type of meat sounds good to try first. Glad you are liking them. This sauce smelled so good that it even enticed my husband to try a bite of crab dipped in it ( he would never try crab before ). I had King Crab for lunch. 1/4 of ONE leg LMAOOOOO It was so good though. I will be eating crab for days, I hope it will keep in the frig that long. Do you know if we can refreeze seafood? probably not.. *hugs* Felicia =)

Sure you can freeze crab. BUT I would get frozen today what you think you need to freeze. I was so excited to eat shrimp....a little bumbed that I could not even eat three of them Oh well...more for later I guess. I need to look through recipes and really think what I have made that other people might like. I seem to be vcery simple these days with really cooking so little. With both of us eating WLS style there is no one to eat leftovers and after a week the same thing gets pretty dang old LOL. Can;t wait for the soup....Fred loves soup! Hugs, Melissa
