Weight Watchers: Grilled Shrimp

Shopping List:

  • Peeled and deveined large frozen shrimp
  • Black pepper
  • Low-fat barbecue sauce
  • Low-fat mayonnaise
  • Mango chutney
  • Curry powder
  • Cocktail sauce
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Fat-free, whole-wheat tortillas
  • Green salsa
  • Low-fat shredded cheese
  • Lettuce

Grilling Instructions: 

Shrimp don’t require a brine or a marinade. Just crank on some black pepper to taste and toss them directly over high heat on the grill. Cook until pink and firm, turning once, about 5 minutes.

Hot off the grill, they need little more than a dip in bottled, low-fat barbecue sauce

Grilled Shrimp Meal Ideas:

Shrimp Salad Sandwich:   Mix 2 cups of chopped leftover cooked shrimp with 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup mango chutney and 2 teaspoons bottled curry powder.

Shrimp Cocktail:  Put a 1/4 cup bottled cocktail sauce into a martini glass and hang six shrimp off the edge. Carrot sticks and celery ribs make a good garnish.

Shrimp Wrap:   Throw a few shrimp in a fat-free whole-wheat tortilla, add 2 tablespoons green salsa, 2 tablespoons shredded low-fat cheese and 1/2 cup shredded lettuce.
