Shrimp And Snow Pea Stir-fry In Ginger Sauce

Randy’s Nine Personal Guidelines for Contentment (1 Tim. 6:6): 1. Pursue the gold, not the tin – Remember only Jesus Christ is sufficient to bring the fullness of joy that my heart desires. Anything less is not built to bring me the highest satisfaction. God is not in the business of creating idols (Mt. 13:45-46). 2. Be thankful for what you have – Anything beyond hell is a gift of God’s grace (1 Thes. 5:18). 3. Tame those tastebuds – I won’t want what I don’t know is out there (1 Cor. 9:27). 4. Be wary of commercials – The goal of advertising is to breed discontentment to get me to want something I never thought I needed (1 Tim. 6:9). 5. Prioritize your needs, not your wants – Pursue that which God promises, not that which is seldom received or breeds a desire for more. What does God want me to want (1 Tim. 6:7-8). 6. Know when enough is enough – Does a bigger income always need to translate into a bigger lifestyle (Phil. 4:11-12)? 7. No U-Hails behind hearses – The temporary things don’t last in this life and are definitely not transferred to the next. Pursue what I’ll cherish for an eternity (Mt. 6:19-21). 8. The two greatest commandments – The four sins of discontentment, doubt and complaining against God and jealously and coveting against people, will end when I love God and love others (Mt. 22:38-40). 9. Who’s the boss? – Do I own my stuff or does my stuff own me (1 Cor. 6:12)?

SHRIMP:If you purchase unpeeled raw shrimp or prawns, break away the
shells and cut a shallow slit along the back so you can remove the
dark vein.  In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil over
high heat.  Stir in rice, reduce heat to low, cover and cook 25
minutes.  Meanwhile, whisk 1/2 cup water with mirin, soy sauce, and
arrowroot  powder, then whisk in peanut butter, ginger and garlic. Set
aside.  String snow peas and cut in half crosswise. Carefully wash
mushrooms  and thickly slice them. Cut green onions into 1-inch pieces,
including some green tops. Heat oil in wok or large skillet over
medium-high heat and add peas, mushrooms and onions. Cook for 4
minutes, stirring frequently. Add ginger peanut sauce and shrimp.  Stir
and cook 4 to 5 minutes until all shrimp have turned bright  pink. Stir
in cilantro. Divide rice equally among warmed individual  serving
plates. Spoon hot shrimp mixture over top and serve  immediately.  Each
