Why do this?

DO WORK! It's a saying used to motivate people, particularly at the gym, or in my case, at CrossFit.



DO EAT! In my experience, when people work out they are afraid to eat. In reality, it's not the case. It's more that they don't know what to eat. It's ok to eat. In fact, when you're working out, you HAVE to eat!



Over two years ago, I got fed up with how I looked and felt so I decided to embark on a "lifestyle change" (I refuse to say diet). That included exercise and eating right. Over the years, I have learned a lot about nutrition, what to eat and what not to eat. By no means do I claim to be a nutritional expert. I'm just some schmo that's learned from reading and speaking with people that are smarter than me.



That being said, I've developed various recipes using natural and organic ingredients that were not only lower in calories and tasted great, but are also good for you!



CrossFit is supposed to be hard, eating right shouldn't be! So work hard and DO EAT!!

This is probably the simplest and quickest recipes I have. From start to finish, 5 - 6 minutes!
6 Ounces peeled, deveined, uncooked shrimp
1/4 Red onion sliced thin
4 Fresh basil leaves torn into small pieces
2 Teaspoons of crushed red pepper
1 Teaspoon of minced garlic
1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
Splash of vegetable broth

Spray a nonstick pan with oil from the misto and heat on high. Add shrimp, onion and basil. Cook for 2 minutes. Add basil, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Cook for a few more minutes. When the onion and shrimp start browning, add a splash of  vegetable broth to deglaze the pan then serve.
Serves 1
