Shrimp Fried Rice

I can't believe I haven't made fried rice before...its so good and easy to make! Here is a weight watchers recipe I made last week.

Ingredients:
1 cup regular Egg Beaters
2 tsp canola oil
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
4 oz frozen shrimp, thawed under cold water
2 cups quick cooking brown rice, cooked
4 tbsp, low sodium soy sauce

1. Coat a wok or large skillet with cooking spray and heat until an added drop of water sizzles.
2. Scramble egg substitute in wok. Remove when cooked and set aside.
3. Add oil, peas and carrots and shrimp to the wok. Stir fry for 5 minutes.
4. Add cooked rice, eggs and soy sauce. Stir fry for about 3 minutes.

Yields about 1 1/2 cups per person, serves 4. 7 points per serving, so apx 350 calories.

Baked Shrimp in Lemon Garlic Sauce

I just made this and it was great! I am a big fan of shrimp, but I usually don't love recipes I make at home with it. I am so glad to have found this one.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4c lemon juice
2 tbsp light butter, melted
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
2 tbsp parsley, chopped

-Preheat oven to 425. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in a 9x13 baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine lemon juice and next 5 ingredients, pour over shrimp.

-Bake at 425 for 8 to 10 minutes or until shrimp are done. Sprinkle parsley over shrimp; serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings, apx 200 calories per serving.

I also experimented tonight with the Ore-Ida steam and mash potatoes, and we really liked them. We tried the garlic flavor and they complimented the sauce from the shrimp really well. All you have to do is microwave and then add some milk. You should try them!

Have a great night!
