Jump to Recipe
Broccoli is a veggie bouquet that you give your family when you make it for dinner. For Tom you also have to include a protein so in his bouquet is shrimp lol. It might surprise you know how much I love salad!!! One of my favorite things to eat is from when I went to school in Connecticut at Quinnipiac, a Claires Corner Copia salad with extra extra croutons. So making this is pure joy! Also, in true Chop Happy style it is super simple. Everything goes in a bowl with tangy dijon dressing and you mix it up for an easy dinner! In fact this get better every day in the fridge. Also, I even save some steps by not coking the broccoli, doing a defrost shrimp hack, and sometime I even use store bought dressing! Hope you love this recipe and I am always grateful for you! Happy Cooking!
Gratitude Tip While You Cook:
My mission with Chop Happy is to create easy recipe for busy people with a dash of gratitude! Since we all have to be in the kitchen at some point in our day lets use that time to zen out and gain more gratitude.
For the time the shrimp cooks visualize your dreams as if it is already here. Working on you does not have to be a long drawn out process. It can be as simple as a couple of pages of a motivational book. The perfect book to read to learn more about finding calmness, your dreams and making your wishes a reality is The Secret!
Time Saving Dinner Hacks / Cooking Tips:
- Nothing Wrong With Store Bought: When I am in a rush and it is a super busy week I buy store bought dressing for sure. Pick one you like and put it in the fridge!
- Perfect Cooked Shrimp: Place Shrimp on a sheet pan with olive oil salt and pepper. Spread out so it does not shrimp and cook on middle rack 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Perfect for Shrimp Salad, Shrimp Panzanella, or Summer Shrimp Grilled Cheese!
- Gratitude While Stirring: Use the kitchen as a place for self care. As you stir or chop say what you are grateful for. I do this all the time so that cooking can be a time to recharge.
