FRIED BLUE MEXICAN SHRIMP SPINACH SALAD

Last nights dinner. Took 25 minutes to make.

Ingredients...

1/2 LB of Blue Mexican Shrimp
Bag of Flour (1 & 1/2 cup) with Salt & Pepper
1 Egg
Olive Oil

Spinach
Prosciutto
Fresh Mozzarella
White Onion
Almonds
Olive Oil

In a deep bowl crack 1 egg and beat with a couple of drops of milk and add the shrimp. Use a fork to mix the egg and shrimp together saturating every piece of shrimp. In a paper bag add your flour with the desired amount of salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and shake for a minute so the flour has covered the shrimp evenly.

In a pan add an inch of olive oil and turn to high heat. Once it is sizzling hot add the shrimp and cover immediately. After about 2 minutes turn over your shrimp to cook the other side. When done place on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the oil.

Salad is extremely easy. Chop up your spinach if you want. Add some prosciutto and fresh mozzarella shreds, chopped white onion and almonds. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and add the fried shrimp on top.

Nice with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
