Scallop Picatta Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb Bay Scallops (or other favorite protein)
1 cup chopped tomato
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/3 cup chopped vidalia or red onion
1 garlic clove minced
2 tbsp capers
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp parsley (optional since I didn’t use it but traditional picatta calls for it)
1 Scoop of Whey Crisps

Directions

Preheat a large pan on medium heat. Spray with Olive Oil. Once heated, add garlic and lightly brown. Next add the onions and mushrooms. Sauteed until onion is lightly browned and mushrooms are no longer stiff. Add in the tomatoes, lemon and capers to the pan. Cook for about 3-5 more minutes. While the veggies are cooking, rinse off scallops and pat dry very well. Set veggie mix aside in a bowl. Re-coat pan with more olive oil and add scallops to heated pan and cook until the scallops are no longer opaque turning half way through, which should be about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking. Feel free to add pepper and pinch of sea salt. Set scallops aside once they are done. Place 1/3 of the scallops on top of desired quinoa and top with 1/3 of the veggie mixture. Add an additional squeeze of lemon to the final dish and garnish with parsley if you would like.

Whey Crips Pecan Crusted Catfish

Ingredients:
1 Egg
2 TBSP Honey Mustard
4 Catfish Fillets
1 Cup chopped pecans
1 cup crushed Natural Whey Crisps

Directions:
Grind up the Pecans and Whey Crisps. In a separate bowl crack your egg and add honey mustard and mix. Drop your catfish fillets in the egg and honey mustard mix, cover each fillet. Next drop your fillets in to your ground up Pecan and Whey Crisp powder. Cover the catfish!

Now you can cook it a few different ways

1) Grill it. use a grilling basket and a medium heat. Hook for about 5 to 6 mins per side
2) Bake it. Set oven at about 400 to 450 degrees. 10 to 15 mins should do
3) Pan fry. use about 1/8″ of your preferred cooking oil. Medium/high heat cook 5 mins per side.

Nice high protein, healthy fat filled meal. Good Stuff

You can substitute the pecans for walnuts or whatever other nut you prefer. As well as the sauce.

This can be done with chicken as well.

Whey Crisp Fried Shrimp

Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour
6 Eggs
Oil (any will do)
2lb De-veined Pre-Cooked Shrimp
Whey Crisps

Directions:
Set up work stations. Beat the eggs in one bowl. Pour a reasonable amount of flour in the other. Crush Whey Crisps and set aside in another bowl.

Pour a reasonable amount of oil in a pot/wok/deep fryer and allow it to heat up. Test if it is hot enough by dropping a Whey Crisp in. If it floats, then you are good to go.

Put shrimp in flour (to remove moisture). Pat off the excess and dip into beaten eggs. Let the excess fall off–then dip into Whey Crisps. Repeat this for all shrimp.

Fry Whey Crisp Coated Shrimp until golden brown.
