Vegan szechuan shrimps

Finally friday, I'm so glad about that, really. I had a though week with a lot going on.
I work at a doctors office and many people are sick and therefore much of work, even in the team there are two sick.

The first time I ate vegan shrimp I found they tasted weird. My problem was - as I can guess - was that I havn't marinated them very well and so this time I changed and it's taste was just so great a big different to the first time.

Pan-Fried Spicy Szechuan Vegan Shrimp

I decided to crumble up some dried seaweed in with the homemade szechuan sauce to add a bit of that “fresh-from-the-sea” taste

As you may have regonized I love soups, during winter time I could easly live from soups, they are light and give a nice warm in the stomach.
This soup isn't blended in a food processor so there are littly tomato bits to bite. Great and the taste so good.
