One of the things I’m trying to do is open my mind to new options. While doing this clean and healthy challenge, I’ve decided to experiment a little bit. Shrimp is a clean option, and I love shrimp salad. The problem is that I can’t have mayo. I decided to find a fun way to make shrimp and try something new.

I got a pan and sprayed it lightly with cooking spray. I cut up the shrimp (about 10), adding one teaspoon of spicy brown mustard, a little onion and garlic powder and cooked it over a low heat. I gently stirred it together, so the shrimp would get coated lightly.

I intended to make a regular half sandwich, but it was just too messy, so I opted for open face. I decided to toss a mini box of raisins on it to add a third food group, and just dumped them on. It doesn’t look pretty, but it didn’t taste too bad. I found a new way to try cooking shrimp, I ate shrimp and raisins together, and I found out that even toast without butter isn’t horrible.

I’m a girl who is pretty set in my ways, so opening my mind to the idea of sampling, tasting, checking, and experimenting with food combinations and ideas is going to help me find new things I enjoy eating together.  I could have grabbed some clean chips with it, but I thought the raisins were a healthier option.

By the way, the green thing in the middle is just the plate showing through from the bottom. It’s a colorful plate with blues, greens, yellows and purples on it!

It did it’s job, I stayed on track and I tried something new. It’s a willingness to step out of my comfort zone that will help me get to the next level.
