Full of Flavor, Not Calories!

Who says eating healthy has to = starvation, and rabbit food! I LOVE GOOD FOOD! I like my food full of flavor, and variety... so if this was true, I'd never be able to pull off a healthy lifestyle. But the fact of the matter this is just not true. This YUMMY salad combines 5 of my favorite foods into one delicious lunchtime delight for only...330 calories !!!!

6 large shrimp - 45 calories
1/4 cup yellow sweet corn (frozen) - 40 calories
1/4 cup black beans - 57 calories
2 tbsp lime juice - 5 calories
2 cups fresh spinach - 14 calories
5 leafs, romain lettuce, chopped - 7 calories
1/2 med avocado - 144 calories
4 tbsp salsa - 18 calories (using salsa instead of dressing saves about 60 calories!)


Heat large skillet with cooking spray. Season shrimp with cumin, chili powder and garlic powder. Saute shrimp for about 3 minutes or until done, and sprinkle with half of lemon juice. Remove from skillet. Add corn to skillet, and pan roast until heated through and slightly browned (about 1 minute), add black beans and heat til warmed through. Add half of salsa to skillet. Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice, and cook for about 30 seconds. Serve on a bed of spinach and romaine topped with remaining salsa as dressing.

Enjoy!
