I am going to post periodically recipes thatI have tried while calorie watching. Check back every few days and see what i have posted.

I have found that many calorie watch recipes are rather tasty.

Today for lunch I made the following but substituted scallops for shrimp. It was really yummy ;-) :-P

3/4 lbs shrimp or scallops
3/4 cup coarsly chopped carrots
2 large roma tomates, seeded and diced
1/4 cup sliced green onions w/ tops
1/3 cup grateded parmesean cheese (fresh)
8 oz uncooked wheat linguine
1 tsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed
3/4 cup reduced sour cream
1/2 cup fat free evaporated milk

meanwhile, heat oil in large pan. Add shrimp(scallops), carrots and garlic. cook and stir over med. heat 3-4 minutes or just until shrimp turns pink. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Gently heat the sour cream and milk over low heat use a whisk to stir this mix. ****Do not let it boil just get warm*****

As a diabetic exchange it can be a substitute for 2 starches, 2 low fat meats, 1 vegtable (2 carbs).

Shrimp is high in cholesterol but low in saturated fat.
