Finally locked out of the work Google Calendar and GMail. So I uninstalled the Salesforce Authenticator and Okta. Was never happy about having work apps on my personal phone.

This is the week I finally start the job search and get a schedule going. Which actually includes eight hours of writing while I wait for jobs interviews.

Use the time to do the thing.

I just learned about this today, and let me tell you, it explains so much.

This Week's Meals (3/3): Walnut Prawns

These are supposed to be breaded, but I can't tell if I screwed up the breading (as I usually do), or if it's the paleo-ish recipe. Still, I've learned to make another one of my fave dishes, but I think I'm going to try again with a non-paleo recipe, and see if that goes better.

# Walnut Prawns

Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans
7.0 servings

3.0 tbsp mayonnaise
1.0 tbsp honey
1.0 tsp lemon juice
1.0 pound large uncooked shrimp (peeled) (deveined)
0.75 tsp kosher salt
1.0 whole egg white
1.0 tbsp cornstarch
1.0 cup vegetable oil
0.5 cup walnuts
1.0 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)

1 - First, make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Paleo Mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice, and whisk to combine into a sweet, creamy dressing. Set it aside.
2 - Toss the shrimp in a separate bowl with the salt.
3 - In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy, and add the starch. Mix to form a smooth batter. No clumps, please!
4 - Add the shrimp to the batter and mix well, making sure they are completely coated.
5 - Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
6 - Once the oil is shimmering, fry the shrimp in separate batches. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they're golden on the outside and no longer translucent on the inside.
7 - Transfer the cooked shrimp to a wire rack.
8 - When all the batches are done, place the shrimp in a bowl with the honey-mayonnaise sauce, and toss gently to coat the prawns before plating.
9 - Sprinkle the walnuts and toasted sesame seeds on the prawns, and serve immediately.
