With summertime just around the corner, a fit and trim body is more desirable than ever. Sriracha glazed shrimp is a sizzling summer meal bursting with bold flavors. A sweet and spicy glaze is made with a combination of balsamic vinegar, lemon, soy sauce, no calorie sweetener (in place of sugar) and sriracha chili sauce. Sauteed shrimp is dunked in the glaze and then served on a bed of quinoa. You can also do this dish with grilled season if you are itching to do some outdoor cooking. I like to pair this meal with stir fried ginger asparagus.
