summer = lazy (even though I still have to wake up and go to work every day)

Yeah I know. I'm not on "summer break" anymore. Fuck the real world, man!

But despite my weekly 8-5 schedule thy never changes, I'm still feeling a bit of that summer laziness. Which is why I have not been blogging and anything I do blog is my version of "lazy food."

So the other night I made some shrimp concoction, it was ok, not worth blogging. But because fresh shrimp were like $6/lb, the Jew in me was all like, "hell yes gimme a pound of shrimps that I will not be able to eat!" and then I sautéed them up and they were fine but alas, I had like 1/4 an lb left!

My options were: (1) toss, (2) refrigerate with the intention of eating for lunch and then finally toss 1 week later, or (3) actually eat the suckers for lunch. Normally in my household, all leftovers go the way of #2, but not this week, my friends!

So on Tuesday, I headed home for lunch and whipped up this shrimp salad, which was yummy and easy and kept me from wasting my ridiculously cheap shrimp. Win. I'm pretty sure you could substitute any protein here - seeing as I'm swimming in a plethora of leftover chicken right now, chicken salad will be next!




Alright, so you will need:

- mayo
- greek yogurt
- chopped green onions
- old bay seasoning
- garlic powder
- lemon juice
- spinach
- walnuts
- some sort of bread-like apparatus on which to place said salad

I had bought these Flat-Out fiber wrap thingys that are actually pretty dece, so that was my wrap.

Alright, in a bowl, combine your leftover shrimps, cut into smaller pieces, with equal parts Greek yogurt and mayo. The yogurt gives it a bit of tang and also makes it not so fatty. Add a few drops of lemon juice to cut the mayo. Oh ps this whole "recipe" really depends on your own tastes and how much shrimp/chicken/tofu whatever you have. So yeah.

Next, season with the garlic powder and old bay to taste. Add your green onions. tomatoes might be delish in this, too!

Lay some spinach down on your bread/wrap, then the salad concoction, and then I sprinkled a few walnuts on for taste and texture. Totally optional. Not gonna lie, when I concocted this thing, I was a bit dubious of whether it would be edible, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! I will definitely be scrounging up a chicken version post haste!
