Thai Shrimp
(from Stephanie D. in my ward)

2 lbs. raw, peeled shrimp
2 fresh limes
3 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
1 1/2 T. white sesame seeds
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 T. peanut oil
dash of red pepper flakes

Add sesame and peanut oil to a very hot frying pan. Add sesame seeds to the pan and quickly add shrimp. (The sesame seeds will "pop" so be careful). Toss shrimp for one minute. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Squeeze the lime juice into the pan. Toss well, cook 1-2 minutes longer. Remove shrimp and serve over Jasmine Rice.

Oh...I forgot to mention that 2 lbs. is a lot of shrimp. Too much for just Mike and I so I halved it and it still worked great.

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Whisk together in a dish with a lid or a paper bag, set aside.

1 pkg Yeast (1TB) 1 TB Sugar 1 1/2 C Really warm water Put the water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top and let set until foamy. For extra speed I set the bowl in the sink with HOT water surrounding the bowl. This will help the yeast activate faster. Add 2 1/2 C Flour 1 tsp Salt Mix all together. Let rise until double in bulk. (For a speedy trick I put it in the oven on no more than 100 to help it rise faster.) Punch down and grease one cookie sheet and spread dough over to fit the sheet. Don't put toppings on it yet. Poke it with a fork just enough so it doesn't puff up. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Or just before it turns brown. Bring it out and top with sauce and cheese and toppings. Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese melts. For me it is all about the sauce you use and the kind of cheese I still have yet to find the perfect combo but we LOVE the crust especially since you pre bake you won't ever have it come out doughy. Enjoy
