Cilantro-Garlic Shrimp
POINTS value: 4 (shrimp only)

• 2 tsp fresh Lemon Juice
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp ground Black Pepper
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh Cilantro

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until shrimp are done.

2. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, and add cilantro.

Yield: 3 servings (about 1 cup per serving)

I made this (thanks to Stacy) with Chicken first and it was great, and then did it with the shrimp a few nights later. Both were delicious.

For chicken I modified the directions a bit. I used 1 large boneless/skinless chicken breast and pounded it out so that it was about 3/4 inch thick. I used less garlic (about 3 garlic cloves), poured 1 TB lemon juice on each side so the flavor was even, and of course cooked it longer. I then cut it in 1/2 to make 2 servings.

I served the chicken with some red rosemary potatoes and veggies, and the shrimp with angel hair pasta.

Enjoy!
