Thai Inspired Shrimp Coctail- with photo

After last night's poor decisions about portion control and carb content (brown rice), I'm back starting fresh on my way to better eating and better health!

Here's a picture of the Thai inspired shrimp coctail I made for lunch today:

I made the dipping sauce for the shrimp and cucumbers out of the juice of a fresh lime, some green chili curry paste, a few drops of hot chili sauce, chopped fresh cilantro and a touch of coconut milk. The sauce has a bit of a bite to it and the coolness of the cucumbers calms down the burn. :)

Yum!

LOL Angela-- I don't think licking the computer screen would be a problem... as long as it's not a public computer. The diarrhea that would ensue from consuming countless public place germs would surely jump start that pre-op liquid diet for ya!

Good luck on surgery!
