Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. The design of this dish is for fancy food for a hot day. You can make this much simpler and less expensive by using less expensive seafood and fish options. I’ll point that out in the recipe where appropriate. This is so very easy to make. I hope you enjoy it.

Servings: Serving size, one cup

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of scallops* (you can use the smaller bay scallops or cut larger ones into chunks)
  • 1 lb of crab meat*
  • 1 tsp of cumin
  • 1 tsp of grated lemon peel (you can use the dry stuff in the jar or fresh)
  • 1 tsp of chili powder
  • cayenne to taste
  • 1 cup of chopped celery
  • 1 cup of fresh pico de gallo. This is just a simple, fresh salsa. You can find it in the deli section of most grocery stores. Or use salsa with no sugar in it.

Instructions:

In a large sauté pan cook the scallops to your liking. Then add the crab, veggies, pico and the spices and stir. Continue cooking on medium until warm. It’s that easy. Serve over your favorite greens.

To make this really extra fancy, add a scoop of guacamole on top of the sea food salad and serve with just a few tortilla chips.

  • To save on budget, instead of scallops substitute fish. Tilapia will work fine. You can also substitute less expensive shrimp for the crab meat. If you do, make sure the shrimp are cooked and tails are removed.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

This is a famous chili that probably should not even be called a chili. It was invented by two brothers who emigrated from Europe in the 1920’s. Of course, they lived in Cincinnati. When finished…
