Ghee and Blackened Shrimp and Steak

For lunch, Greg and I made blackened shrimp and steak with veggies using Zataran's blackened seasoning and Ghee!



This meal was really easy, quick and yummy. Recipe:

1 steak or 1-2 servings shrimp
1/2 onion
squash, zucchini - amount determined by you
1 TBSP Ghee
Zataran's to taste

Steak: Sprinkle steak with Zataran's. Heat pan with ghee. Toss in steak for just a minute or 2 on each side. Done! Greg cooked his veggies in the pan after taking his steak out - and switched to using regular butter, not ghee.

Shrimp: I tossed shrimp in pan with ghee and veggies and let them sit in the pan for about 7 minutes. I added more Zatarans - the spicier the better!

About the ingredients:

We've recently started using ghee (clarified butter) for our sauteeing. Ghee has the more stable saturated bonds (i.e., lacks double bonds easily damaged by heat) it is not as likely to form dangerous "Free radicals" when cooking.



Zatarain's is a company who has some fun spices we've recently enjoyed. Today, we purchased Zatarain's Blackened Seasoning. It's really good but I had to use a lot of it to get the kick I wanted from this meal.
