Hungry Girl Today: 7.24.09
Tequila is not just for margaritas, people. Check out these DELICIOUS, guilt-
free recipes!
Te Quiero Tequila Shrimp
PER SERVING (half of recipe, about 1 1/2 cups): 206 calories, 2.25g fat,
470mg sodium, 9.5g carbs, 1.75g fiber, 4g sugars, 24g protein -- POINTS®
value 4*
This recipe is fast and FANTASTIC. Quite possibly our best shrimp recipe to
date. (And by that we mean it's our favorite so far. We don't want to buy it
daisies and take it to a movie.)
Ingredients:
8 oz. raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 small onion, sliced
3 tbsp. (1 shot) tequila
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Directions:
Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add onion
and garlic, and cook until onion is slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add
tequila to the pan and stir. Cover the pan and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes, until shrimp are nearly opaque.
Add tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, and salt, and mix well.
Stirring occasionally, cook until tomatoes have softened and shrimp are
cooked through, about 2 minutes. Enjoy!

HG Alternative! The cilantro works reeeeally well here (believe it!), but if that
herb's a nonnegotiable for you, just skip it or swap it out for chopped
scallions.
Strawberry Margarita Mousse
PER SERVING (1/5th of recipe, about 1 cup): 107 calories, 0g fat, 107mg
sodium, 13g carbs, 1g fiber, 6g sugars, 2g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
This wiggly, jiggly, creamy dessert is like a fruity fiesta in your face. And
even if you ate half of the bowl of mousse (a HUGE portion!), you'd still take
in fewer calories than if you ordered ONE frozen strawberry margarita at a
bar. Sweet!
Ingredients:
1 large (8-serving) package JELL-O Sugar Free Strawberry Gelatin Dessert
Mix
2 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries, mostly thawed
1 1/2 cups Cool Whip Free, thawed
1 cup cold Sprite Zero (or any diet lemon-lime soda)
2 1/2 oz. (1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp.) tequila
3 tbsp. lime juice
Directions:
In a medium-large bowl, combine gelatin mix with 1 cup boiling water, and
stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
In a blender, combine strawberries, soda, tequila, and lime juice. Puree until
smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl and stir thoroughly. Refrigerate for 45
minutes, until slightly thickened but not set. (Do not over-refrigerate.)
Using an electric mixer, blend in the Cool Whip. Once mixture appears
mostly blended, use a spoon to mix it up from the bottom. If needed,
continuing blending until uniform. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until
mostly firm. Enjoy!
