Shrimp Scampi & Broccoli with Cauliflower Breadsticks



Shrimp Scampi & Broccoli
Ingredients:
8 oz baby salad shrimp - will cook down to about 7 oz (1 lean)
2 cup grated broccoli (2 greens)
1 TBSP light butter (1 healthy fat)
2 Light Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb Cheese Wedge (1 healthy fat)
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth (1/2 condiment)
2 minced garlic cloves (1/2 condiment)
2 TSP lemon juice (1 condiment)
dash of salt
dash of pepper

Directions:
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic, parsley, lemon juice, chicken broth, laughing cow cheese, salt, and pepper. With the LC cheese, make sure to break up the pieces so they melt quicker. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let simmer on low heat. Add the grated broccoli and stir frequently until they are just about to be soft. Add the shrimp to the pan and let them simmer for about 5-6 minutes to have the shrimp soak up the flavors. Then serve the meal.

Serving: 2 meals of 1 lean, 2 greens, 2 healthy fats, and 2.5 condiments

Cauliflower "Breadsticks"
Ingredients:
1 cup or 100 grams grated cauliflower (2 greens)
.25 cup egg substitute (1/8 lean)
2.5 oz shredded 2% light mozzarella (5/8 lean)
1 oz shredded 2% light mexican three cheese blend (2/8 lean)
dash of garlic salt
dash of italian seasonings

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix cauliflower, egg substitute, and shredded mozzarella together in a bowl until combined. Line a baking pan with pam and pour the mixture in about 1 inch deep. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until it's set. Pull the pan out and flip the dough over to the other side. Bake for 10 at 450 degrees. Sprinkle the shredded mexican cheese, garlic salt, and italian seasonings on top. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Using a pie cutter, cut it into 8 sections.

Serving: 1 lean and 2 greens

So, what I did with both of these is that I made both and split them. With the shrimp scampi & broccoli, it had to servings, so I just split it into two halves. With the cauliflower "breadsticks", i put 4 in a container for another day and left 4 sections out. You end up with a plate of half of the shrimp scampi & broccoli and 4 pieces of cauliflower breadsticks. All you need to add is 1 green, which I chose to go with a salad.
