Chef Ana's Perspective

Chef's Notes

I would plan the first meals around Panko Crusted Crispy Baked Shrimp and Mixed Greens, Apple, Date & Pecan Salad with Pecorino and Balsamic Dressing, while the crumb coating and cut apple are at their best. Thai Basil Ground Beef Stir-Fry and Spanish Rice with Tomatoes, Paprika & Kidney Beans make another pairing for the week. Keeping those pairings distinct gives the shrimp its own meal rather than putting every dish on one plate.

Read the full notes

For Panko Crusted Crispy Baked Shrimp, I recommend reheating a single layer uncovered at 350°F for 8–12 minutes, checking the center is hot. Thai Basil Ground Beef Stir-Fry can go into the microwave covered, in 30-second intervals, stirring between rounds until it is hot throughout. I would add the shrimp's lime wedge after reheating so the juice does not wet the crumbs before they crisp.

Blackberry Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Charred Corn, Herbs, Lemon & Feta Pearled Couscous bring fruit, heat and lemon to the same meal. I would serve them together so the corn and feta accompany the stuffed chicken without adding another sweet element. Mozzarella & Cherry Tomatoes Baked Asparagus adds a vegetable side with melted cheese and visible tomato pieces.
