A Chinese-Food-at-Home Weekend

1) Teryaki Shrimp 2) Sweet 'n Sour Shrimp
I made these Sunday and Monday evenings. Both took about 30 minutes. Recipes will be posted later, but basically, the Sweet 'n Sour sauce consists of white vinegar, vegetable broth and sugar. Replace the sugar with soy sauce (or Tamari) and you have the Teryaki version. I added a little sugar to offset the soy sauce. It was a little too intense without it.

Halibut with Peach Compote

This is a twist on a favorite. I used peaches instead of mango, but kept the red pepper, onion, jalapeno and mint. Saute the onions and peppers in a little olive oil, stir in the jalapeno and mint. Once the compote begins to soften add in the peaches. Cook until peaches are just heated through.
