Hungry Girl Today: 5.8.09
In honor of National Shrimp Day (this Sunday), we rolled out the red carpet
for our favorite sea-critters. And then we ate them. Check out our new
recipe makeover, product picks, and killer recipe round-up...
Shrimp & Grits... for Hungry Chicks!
PER SERVING (1/2 of recipe, 1 large serving): 380 calories, 8g fat, 900mg
sodium, 40g carbs, 2.5g fiber, 1g sugars, 40g protein -- POINTS® value 8*
Everyone's CRAZY about this recipe made popular by Paula Deen, but it has
about 670 calories and 38g fat per serving (POINTS® value 16*)! Ours is
sooo good (yet guilt-free), even Paula Deen herself would love it, y'all...
Ingredients:
For Grits
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
1/2 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, room temperature
1 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
dash salt
For Shrimp
8 oz. raw shrimp, peeled, tails removed, deveined, patted dry
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts)
2 tbsp. precooked real crumbled bacon (like the kind by Hormel)
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
Optional: Tabasco sauce
Directions:
In a medium pot, bring 2 cups water to a boil on the stove. Add grits and salt
and stir well. Reduce heat to lowest setting. Stirring occasionally, cook until
water has been absorbed, about 6 - 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in
shredded cheese, cheese wedge, and butter. Cover and set aside until ready
to serve.
Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove.
Add shrimp and cook until pink and just done, about 3 minutes, flipping
halfway through cooking. Add scallions, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic. If
you like, add a dash or two of Tabasco. Stir well and remove from heat.
Serve grits topped with shrimp and bacon. Eat up, y'all!
