I threw this together when my husband brought a friend home for a quick lunch. This takes no more than 10 minutes, and it was a big hit.
YIELD: 2 servings, each with 11 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 9 grams of usable carbs and 28 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups shelled, deveined shrimp (cooked or uncooked)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1/2 green pepper
- 1/2 yellow pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. If your shrimp are uncooked, throw them in now, along with the garlic, onion, and peppers, and stir-fry the lot together until the shrimp are pink clear through and the vegetables are just tendercrisp. If you’re using cooked shrimp, saute the vegetables first, then add the shrimp and cook just long enough to heat them through. (I threw mine in still frozen, and they were thawed and hot in just 4 to 5 minutes.)
- Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over everything. Stir it in, and serve.
