I found a recipe today and decided to alter it a little. Served it for lunch at the restaurant and got rave reviews. Very simple, and very healthy. It is still weird to be cooking healthy food on this diet lol...
Sauteed Shrimp and Crab Salad (makes 4 salads)
Seasoning / Cooking Process
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Old Bay
1 teaspoon Paprika
Combine all ingredients in zip loc bag and toss to mix. Into the bag, add about 1 1/2 lbs of shrimp (I used 31/40 count, peeled and deveined). Toss to evenly coat
Heat about 5 tablespoons of olive oil on stovetop until almost smoking. Add shrimp into pan in one even layer. At this point, add 1 lb of Crab Meat (I used pasteurized crab claw meat) into the bag and toss to get any leftover seasoning.
Flip shrimp about 1-2 minutes (when 1st side is pink). Add crabmeat and sautee until shrimp are done.
Add 1/4 cup Orange Juice and 1/4 cup orange liquor (I used Triple Sec), turn heat to medium, and cook about 3 more minutes. Remove from heat
Dressing
1/2 cup Lite Mayo
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
5 teaspoons Olive Oil
Combine 1st 4 ingredients and whisk together. Slowly add Olive Oil while whisking so that dressing emuslifies.
Completed Product
Combine 1 lb of roughly chopped Romiane Crowns, some juliene Red Onion, about 1/4 cup low fat Parmasan Cheese, an orange sliced into bite size pieces, and a handful of croutons into a bowl. Add dressing and toss to evenly coat.
This recipe was amazing, and while I dont have an exact calorie count on it, it is very healthy.
