Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Grilled Shrimp SkewersOk, so I cheated I Broiled these in my oven at 550 degrees and they turned out perfect. To be honest it’s winter and -20 degrees up here in Canada, I will not stand outside in the cold to grill shrimp. It would take more effort to put on my snow suit then to cook these. So simple and easy. From start to finish about 10 mins and only 3 weight watcher points for two skewers. Add half a cup of rice for another 2 points. This recipe makes 2 servings, please double it if your making more.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp green onion minced
  • 3/4 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Sriracha
  • About 24 shrimp deveined (shell or no shell is ok, mine were unshelled
Directions:
  1. Set oven on the broil setting (500 – 550 degrees)
  2. Heat up a grill pan (about 3 mins) remove and light spray with oil.
  3. While heating the pan mix first four ingredients together.
  4. Put about 6 shrimp on each skewer. ( if using wooden soak in water for 30 mins first)
  5. Spread the sauce all over the shrimp
  6. Cook on one side for 2 mins, flip over for another 2 mins
  7. Serve and enjoy

 

Dill-icous Egg White Lettuce Cups

It’s after the holidays and time to get back on track. This is a simple recipe and takes no time at all to prepare. Plus it’s finger foods so the kids may enjoy this for lunch or dinner. These are my Dill-icous Egg White Lettuce Cups. Wash three large romaine lettuce leaves and pat to dry. Take 3 hard boiled eggs and remove the yolks. Chop eggs into little square pieces and add 1 tsp of low fat mayonnaise and 1 tsp of mustard. Add a sprinkle or two of Dill and a little pepper and mix. Place egg mixture on romaine leaves and enjoy. Total Point value 2 points for the cups, plus 1 point for the side of orange. This was so refreshing after a week of horrible holiday eating.

A Little Tidbit: 1 whole egg yolk and all equates to 2 ww points. 3 egg whites equates to 1 ww points. Needless to say, I gave up on egg yolks and no longer eat them.
