Double Post! Saigon Shrimp and Three-Mustard Pork Chops

I didn't make both of these tonight obviously. Just a little late in getting to posting what I made last Friday. So I'll start out with the Friday dish: Saigon Shrimp. Just a perfect, easy dinner. Literally it took about 10 minutes start to finish and it was so goooood. Sweet and spicy and delicious! :)

Saigon Shrimp

Ingredients:

• 1 lb large uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 Tbsp canola oil
• 2 tsp chili garlic paste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp Splenda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Mix together salt, pepper and Splenda in a small dish
2. Gather all the ingredients together and in a heavy skillet over medium high heat, heat oil
3. Add shrimp and stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until mostly pink
4. Add chili garlic paste and minced garlic to pan, continue stir frying
5. When shrimp are pink all the way through, add the salt mixture and stir for another 10-20 seconds to distribute evenly
6. Turn off heat and serve!

Now, I'm very proud of myself for the pork recipe. I kind of just threw together a lot of stuff from my fridge and cabinets and came up with this one on my own. It turned out great too. Unfortunately I won't be able to give exact measurements for some stuff (I was experimenting, c'mon) but you should be able to get the gist of it. 

Three-Mustard Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 1 lb thinly sliced pork chops
• 3 Tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 Tbsp habanero mustard
• 1 Tbsp southwest mustard
• 1 tsp Splenda
• Salt and pepper
• Soy flour (or AP flour)
• Nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a bowl, mix together the three mustards and and Splenda.
3. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the pork chops, then sprinkle flour over them and pat gently
4. Heat a skillet or griddle pan over medium high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray
5. Brown pork chops on each side, about 30 sec to 1 min per side (depending on how hot you let your pan get it might be shorter or longer)
6. Transfer pork over to a baking sheet or pan, and spoon mustard mixture over chops
7. Place pork chops in oven, and let bake for about 5-7 minutes (mustard should be dried)

Easy as that!
