Here's another really easy, really filling, calorie-friendly lunch or dinner I make all the time - super easy, super quick, super yummy, and still under 500 calories.
Wait...did he say UNDER 500 calories? Yup, I did....really!
Don't believe me? Let's count it up...
1 Large Baking Potato 280 calories
6 Large Shrimp (16-20 per pound count) 90 calories
2 Tblsp. Sour Cream 55 calories
1/2 cup Pico de Gallo 40 calories
2 Tblsp. Scallions 4 calories
2 Tablsp. Sriracha 10 calories
Total: 479 calories
Take a large Russet Baking Potato, wash it, wrap it in Aluminum foil, and stick it in the oven at 425 degrees for two hours. In the meantime, take six large shrimp (I just buy them frozen, deveined and cooked) and put them in cold water and let them thaw.
Fifteen minutes before the Baked Potato is ready, take four shrimp and cut them into small chunks. Mix in the Sour Cream, half of Pico de Gallo (1/4 cup), 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 tablespoon of Scallions and mix well. (Note: Some like it hot, right? If you'd like it a little less spicy, you can use less Sriracha, or use Louisiana Hot Sauce which is less spicy, another personal favorite).
Then take the Baked Potato, cut it open and in half, cut each half in half again (to make four "quarter planks"), spread the shrimp salad evenly over the Potato, top it with the remaining Pico de Gallo and Scallions, and serve with two whole Shrimp and a Tablespoon of Sriracha on the side.
And Presto...you're done!
Because in life as in Food...Flavor Is Free!
