Sushi for lunch!

You know how you have little rituals during the week, like Friday is "Sushi Day?" Well, we have one of those for when we go to Portland for music lesson. Yesterday, we didn't go to Portland, simply because it's Labor Day weekend and not a smart time to travel. But Mom and I still found ourselves craving sushi. A bad thing, considering it's not something allowed on the hCG Protocol.

Instead of just figuring we were doomed to have that craving, Mom designed a great little wanna be sushi for us. We chose to use shrimp in ours, but crab could just as easily become the main protien here.

So, for all you sushi lovers, here's the sharesies:

Wanna-be Sushi (you'll have to add up the calories)

100g shrimp (90 calories) OR crab (55 calories)

1 T Plochman's stone ground mustard

1/2-1 t wasabi powder

1/2 t ground ginger

1 T Braggs' Liquid Aminos

Onion powder to taste

Garlic powder to taste

1/2-1 t more wasabi powder

2 c Zucchini (58 calories) - you can use the allowed amount, if you like

In pan, stem zucchini until nearly done. While that's steaming, combine Plochman's, 1/2 to 1 t wasabi powder, and ginger in a small dish and set aside. Dry fry shrimp, Braggs', onion, and garlic powders on the stove until shrimp is hot and cooked. Place shrimp in dish with mustard mixture and coat. Remove zucchini from steamer and place on plate. Place shrimp over the zucchini then, in the dish that held the mustard mixture, mix another 1/2-1 teaspoon wasabi and add 2 t water to it to make it sort of soupy, then drizzle the soupy wasabi over all of it. Tah-dah! Sushi! You can even eat it with chop sticks for the full effect. :)
