Spicy Lime Shrimp
**I did not add enough spiciness or limieness, but these are the amounts I used**

3/4lb raw shrimp - peeled and deveined
cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 egg whites (beaten until frothy)
panko bread crumbs (for dredging - about 2 cups)
1 large green onion, sliced thin
1 tsp chipotle sauce
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

First combine the cornstarch, salt and garlic powder. Meanwhile heat about 3 tbsp oil in a skillet - add onion when hot. Coat shrimp completely in cornstarch mixture. Then dunk in beaten egg whites, then dredge in panko. Fry immediately until meat is pink - about 3-4 minutes. Serve over angel hair pasta.



Five-Spice Peas and Carrots

3 medium carrots cut into "coins"
1 cup frozen green peas
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp Five Spice Powder

In a skillet, heat oil and butter, add carrots and cook about 2 minutes, add peas, cook another minute or so. Add soy sauce, sesame seeds, and Five Spice powder. Serve immediately.



**This one has been my favorite so far. Five Spice powder is a mix of Anise, Cinnamon, Ginger, Cloves, and Pepper. The smell straight from the jar is a little overwhelming, I was surprised at how good the food tasted.
