Sauce came together really fast & I will try it with a firm white fish or chicken pieces another time.

Ingredients
1 pound medium shrimp thawed & peeled
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
2 cloves garlic minced
3/4 cup water
Sesame seeds to taste

**I used thawed shrimp, patting them very dry was important and of intense interest from my cats**

Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry using paper towel. Add them to a large ZipLoc bag along with the cornstarch. Toss gently until they're evenly coated.

Add the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and water to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's bubbling, add the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium.

Cook the shrimp for a few minutes until they're pink and the sauce has thickened to your liking. If the sauce is too thick, add another 1/4 cup of water.

Sprinkle shrimp with sesame seeds and serve immediately. They're also delicious served with chopped scallions.

Anything from 0.75 lb. - 1 lb. shrimp works. You can leave the tails on or take them off... totally up to you.

5. Leftovers

I’m solo on the boat for the night and plan to have a whisky with a fellow sailor who is also heading south.

Dinner will be a salad of mixed greens with chopped red onion, sliced carrots, sliced green olives and chunks of red pepper topped with My own French-style dressing and dusted with grated Parmesan cheese.

As an entree, there’s some of the fried Andouille sausage from a couple of days ago and Dijon mustard. I also have the last of the steamed asparagus.

I had to get a space heater because it’s so cold in Atlantic City with 20 mph winds gusting into the 30s. This remnant of Ian won’t let go! Now I’m warm.

6. Cheeseburgers and homemade fries.

If in need of a snack later I will have a toss salad.

7. Tuesdays and Thursdays are busy work days for me...

...so I usually rely on something easy those nights. Tonight I have a mess of frozen Chinese dumplings to steam-- not homemade, but a good variety-- along with some leftover maque choux. I've got homemade chili oil, noodle sauce, and some good black vinegar to top the dumplings.

8. Taco Tuesday 🙂

9. Heated up leftovers for the husband

of the chicken dish I made in the slow cooker the other day with some peas. I ate a bowl of cereal around 2:30p, so I wasn't hungry.

Tomorrow, I will have to cook again.

10. Corn chowder

had a big lunch today - leftover Chinese: my own credible ma po tofu and some orange chicken from the grocery - so when with a simple dinner. Last of the corn this season, with sourdough bread on the side.
