Shrimp Toast



























1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,
4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. - Romans 13:1-4





These are delicious!!!

8 oz. cleaned, peeled shrimp, no tail
1 egg
1 T chives
Pinch of Smoked Salt 

Bread, I used Sara Lee Artesano, remove crust and cut in half on the diagonal to make a sort of a triangle shape.
I did enough to get 8 triangles.


Panko 
Oil for frying

Pulse the shrimp, egg, salt and chives a few times in food processor until you have a paste. 
Place in bowl.
In a plate put some panko.
Dip bread triangle in shrimp paste, then in panko.
Also dip plain side in panko.
Fry in oil.

Sauce for dipping
3 T mayo
2 T Sweet chili Thai sauce
2 T Hoisin 

Mix well.

Teriyaki Beef



























9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. - Romans 13:9-14







2 pieces of Beef, really thin sliced and cut into strips, I used boneless beef short ribs from Costco

Marinade

2 T  Sake
2 T Mirin
2 T Roasted garlic, mashed
3 T Soy sauce

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. 
18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. 
19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
