Answer
Grilled Shrimp Appetizer
You can use an indoor grill for this one.
If your shrimp are not jumbo they will cook faster.
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (about 16), peeled, deveined, and patted dry with paper towels
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
About 1/4 teaspoon salt
About 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
About 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Dipping Sauce Suggestions:
1/4 cup jalapeno jelly, warmed briefly in the microwave to soften
1/4 cup bottled chili sauce
Salsa (like peach salsa)
Get the grill or barbecue hot according to manufacturers instructions.
Brush the outside of the shrimp lightly with oil. Sprinkle both sides of shrimp lightly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Place shrimp over direct, high heat on the grill. Grill about 2 minutes on the first side, then flip over and cook about 2 more minutes until cooked throughout.
Serve warm with dipping sauce.
Yield:
5 servings
Mediterranean Magic Popcorn
1 bag of light microwave popcorn, popped (about 9 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Put popcorn in a large bowl.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the top, followed by the Italian herbs and grated Parmesan.
Toss to blend well. Keep in a sealable plastic bag and eat within 2 days.
Yield:
3 servings
Thin and Crispy BBQ Chicken Pizza Snack Wedges
1 whole-wheat flour, 96% fat-free tortilla (8" diameter)
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (7 grams carbs or less per 2 tablespoons)
1â2 cup (2 ounces) finely shredded Cabot 75% Light Cheddar Cheese
2â3 cup (3 ounces) chopped grilled chicken breast
1â4 cup slivered red onion
11â2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the tortilla on a small nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until crisp. If air bubbles form, poke them with a fork, then press out the air with a spatula or oven mitt.
Remove the sheet from the oven. Top the tortilla evenly in layers with the sauce, cheese, chicken, onion, and cilantro.
Bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted. Slice into 8 wedges. Serve immediately.
Note: It is critical that you do not attempt to make a pizza "crust" from a low-carb tortilla. It will smoke and burn, without becoming crisp. Most barbecue sauce is high in sugar and carbohydrates. I always look for one with 7 grams or less of carbs per serving. Although you can use "low-carb" barbecue sauce, I have not found one that I enjoy, so I opt for one that contains less carbohydrates rather than one that's called "low-carb."

Is this sandwich recipe healthy?
Val
I'm just going to have it once or maybe twice a week.
I'm just asking.
I'll use whole wheat bread, boiled chicken, one tablespoon mayonnaise, raw tomatoes, cucumber and a little bit of mustard.
Also, if necessary, one low-fat cheese slice and a little bit of ketchup >w<
Answer
Cheese and mayo will be the most caloric thing on the sandwich. But we certainly need fat in our diet. In terms of being healthy the sandwich you describe is pretty healthy. It's low fat, high protein, good amount of fiber, low carbs. Good balance. Try grilling or baking the chicken for a little more flavor.
