Ahi Poke Salad & Sides

I discovered how tasty poke can be when we visited Hawaii last year.  It's light, refreshing, and seems like the perfect island food.  I got a chunk of tuna at HEB for a very reasonable price, and found a simple recipe.  Here it is: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/ahi-poke-basic/Detail.aspx.  I followed the reviewers' suggestions to omit the macademia nuts. 

That night we also had shrimp, orzo with pesto, and spinach.  I seasoned the shrimp with Misty's All Natural Seasoning (http://hamptons.guestofaguest.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mistys.jpg), courtesy of Edwin's mom.  The bottle in that photo is the All-Purpose, but I'm not sure if there's much of a difference.  This is like the secret spice of all time.  There's no MSG, and whatever you throw it on, tastes sooo good.  No joke.  I'm usually a recipe-follower and measure out those little 1/4 teaspoons of herbs, but with Misty's I just throw it on anything.  It has yet to fail me!















 















We have been busy with traveling and moving this past month, so I don't have anything I have cooked worth posting.  But now that we are in a nice, big kitchen, I'm excited to cook again.  Any recommendation for a tasty but healthy meal for these hot, summer nights? :)
