Quick but Tasty

I haven't posted FOREVER, by the way. Sorry for that.

Tonight I came back from the gym, and I was originally going to make a greek-ish type salad and have a shrimp cocktail with it. No, I'm serious. I had a bag of prawns lurking in the freezer and wanted to eat them before they got any trace of freezer burn on them.

Then the idea of a Vietnamese-y type rice bowl appealed to me, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of actually making the entire thing.

So instead, I looked in my tickle trunk and found some "Black Pepper Sauce for Chicken" single serve foil pack stir fry sauces. Yes bitches, the Lee Kum Kee ones. They're good, so sue me.

I sauteed a whole onion, some garlic, and added the prawns (which I loosely chopped into chunks), the sauce, and a fresh cut tomato at the end cause I felt guilty for not eating a tomato today as I was going to make salad. It was a great addition actually. I'm going to finish more "stir fry" kinds of meals with chunks of hot but raw tomato. Delish!

I spooned that over fluffy white rice (can't "get" brown yet) and topped with a tiny handful of crispy onions. I swear to god, I'm going to be putting them on oatmeal in the morning soon. I have a fairly serious obsession with them. I'm totally considering making that famous American green bean casserole topped with these things because really - how can it be anything but delicious?

Great quick little meal.
