What's Cooking Wednesday! Each Wednesday I will post a healthy, nutritious recipe for you to try. This is a favorite of mine!
Grilled Shrimp and Spinach with Fresh Mango Salsa:
Ingredients (serves 6):
Foil
Olive oil
Around 1 lb: Raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails off)
12 C raw spinach
3 C diced cilantro
1 1/2 C quinoa
2 mangos (chopped)
2 avocados (chopped)
2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
1 medium red onion (chopped)
2 jalapeƱos (seeded and chopped)
Lime juice (to taste)
Salt ( to taste)
Fat free feta cheese (optional)
1. Cook the quinoa as directed.
2. Prepare six 1 sq. ft pieces of foil by lightly spreading a little olive oil over one side.
3. On each piece of foil place a scoop of cooked quinoa, 2 cups of raw spinach, a small handful of cilantro (around 1/6 C) and 6-8 raw shrimp. Top with some salt and pepper. Roll up the foil around the food and pinch the ends "purse style".
4. Cook the packets either over a grill or in the oven at 400 degrees for around 15 - 20 minutes (until the shrimp is fully cooked)
5. While cooking the packets, prepare the salsa by mixing the mango, avocado, tomato, jalapeƱo, onion, and remaining cilantro. Season to taste with lime juice and salt.
6. Empty each packet onto a plate, serve with the fresh mango salsa on top. Garnish with a little fat free feta cheese (if desired). Enjoy!
(The packets and salsa keep well in the refrigerator and make great left overs)
