Pacific Rim Ginger Shrimp with Green Beans and

Roasted Fennel and Shallots

Saucy Mama Fab With Five in 15

Quick, Easy, and Delicious!!

Here is my second recipe in the Fab with Five in 15 Recipe Series. I absolutely love the flavor of the Saucy Mama Pacific Rim Ginger Sauce. It may just be my new favorite. When I first tasted it I immediately looked at the nutrition label and was pleasantly surprised to see that two tablespoons only had 39 calories and two tablespoons packed a punch of flavor. Depending on your knife speed, the active prep time on this may be more than 15 minutes but not much more and it is definitely worth it.

Ingredients

• 1 Fennel Bulb
• 2 Medium Shallots
• 2 Cups Green Beans
• 2 Tablespoons + 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
• Fresh Ground Pepper

• 1/2 Pound Shrimp Peeled and Deveined (31-40 count)
