Instructions

Wash produce before use

1

Cook your protein

  • Pat your protein dry with a paper towel (if using shrimp or scallops rinse and drain, then pat dry). Season with salt and pepper. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein (skin side down for skin-on salmon or snapper). 

Fish: Cook the fish until lightly browned (and the skin is crisp), 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. 

Shrimp: Cook the shrimp, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side for regular shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

Scallops: Cook the scallops without turning until golden brown on one side and starting to turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking for about 30 seconds for translucent or 1 to 2 minutes for opaque. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

Chicken: Cook the chicken, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Do not clean the pan.

Steaks: Cook the steaks, turning frequently, until well browned and medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes for rib-eyes and New York strips, 8 to 12 minutes for filet mignons. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Do not clean the pan.

Pork chops: Cook the pork chops, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Do not clean the pan.

Cook the vegetables

  • Trim the ends from the snap or snow peas if needed.

In the same pan used for your protein, warm 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the peas, squash, and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. 

Serve

Transfer your protein and vegetables to individual plates. Drizzle the chimichurri over your protein and serve.
