My boyfriend and I had dinner with our mothers a few weeks
ago. Since he and I are not very big
seafood fans (I occasionally dabble into fried fish or my moms baked stuff
shrimp and he only eats steamers). So it
was going to be a steak tip dinner because who doesn’t love steak tips?
My mom volunteered to make her baked stuffed shrimp since my
boyfriends mom had never had it and had heart how good it was. The dinner was eventually a collaborative
effort - my boyfriend making the steak tips, myself making all the veggies and
sides and my mother making the baked stuffed shrimp.
The steak was seasoned with a concoction of different things
– McCormick’s Steak Seasoning, Worcheshire Sauce, Garlic powder, Black pepper,
a splash of teriyaki sauce, a pinch of BBQ sauce. We love experimenting with flavors and they
tasted amazing. Before cooking the
steak my boyfriend grilled up the onions so they were nice and sweet, he added
them to the raw steak and let all the flavors marinate while they broiled in
the oven for about 10 or so minutes.
The shrimp of course is my moms recipe and since she doesn’t
measure I could never tell you exactly what’s in it. But this particular batch was amazing and I
ate a fair share of it!
I made baked potato, canned corn (yes, I cheated lol),tossed
salad and steamed brussel sprouts. Definitely a fabulous meal!
13 points plus for all pictured -- 5 for the steak, 3 - potato, 1 - salad dressing, 4 - shrimp.
