The secret is in the marinated onions!
- 1 lb jumbo cooked shrimp, cut in 1/2

- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 limes, juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- salt and fresh pepper to taste
Instructions
Sugar Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown tenderloins on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in garlic, red chile pepper, onion, and black pepper.
- Put browned tenderloins into the slow cooker, and cover them with the teriyaki sauce mixture.
- Cook on High for about 4 hours, turning 2 to 3 times during the cooking time to ensure even doneness.
- Remove tenderloins from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If desired, spoon liquid over slices when serving.
Salad
- In a small bowl combine red onion, lime juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
- Let them marinate for at least 5 minutes to mellow the flavor of the onion.
- In a large bowl combine chopped shrimp, avocado, tomato, and jalapeño.
- Combine all the ingredients together, add cilantro and gently toss.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
