Default Marinated Prawns on Noodle Bed

Hey

I'll put this here since i couldnt find a sub-heading for Mains.

Marinated Prawns (aka Shrimp) on Noodles

First off, i am Aussie...so you may have to sub different brands if you dont have the ones i mention, as well as convert the measurements. (Oh, and this is dead simple)

Ingredients:

150 grams cooked prawns deveined and shelled.
1 packet 99% fat free Maggi 2 minute noodles
1 large ripe tomato
2 Tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
1 Tablespoon seeded mustard
2 Tablesoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon cajun spice

(The amount of marinade you make is really up to you, and if you want to add water, do, but the marinade it going to be the sauce for the noodles as well.)

Okies!

First off you need to do the prawns in the morning so they have all day long to marinate nicely. Mix the garlic, sauces, mustard and spice in a small bowl, mix well and throw prawns in. Make sure they are all coated and every now and again mix them all up. Cover and put in the fridge.

Right, come dinner time prepare the noodles as directed, and while doing so reasonably coarsely chop the tomato. Once the noodles are done, drain them and throw the prawns, marinade mix and all, plus the tomatos in together and toss them around.

Divide the mix into two bowls and viola!

Originally i made this just for one serving, but it ended up being way to filling and so i split it into two. Roughly speaking it's about 220 calories per serve (using the 99% fat free noodles), it'd be more if you used normal.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Default Tuna Casserole

Was | 14 POINTS
Now | 6 POINTS
Servings | 8
Preparation Time | 20 min
Cooking Time | 30 min
Level of Difficulty | Easy

main meals | Tuna casserole has a bad reputation for being a high-calorie dish. But not anymore! We've made a few easy ingredient substitutions.



Ingredients



12 oz uncooked egg noodles
12 oz water-packed tuna fish, drained
2 cup button mushroom(s), sliced
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
16 oz fat-free sour cream
1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper, or more to taste
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, or reduced-fat Swisss cheese


Instructions



Preheat oven to 350ºF.


Cook noodles according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Fold in tuna, mushrooms and peas.


Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper together in a separate bowl; fold into noodle mixture. Transfer to a 4-quart casserole dish; top with cheese. Bake until top is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Chef's Tips


We renovated Tuna Noodle Casserole by:

Opting for tuna in water, not tuna in oil.
Choosing fat-free sour cream instead of regular.
Switching from regular mayonnaise to fat-free.
Topping it with reduced-fat cheese instead of the full-fat varie

Delicious 0 point side dish.

Found this on a website. Both my husband and I love it!

Garlic and Herb Seasoned Tilapia Fillets

2 T unsalted butter, melted (we used Smart Balance spread)
1 1/2 T. fresh lemon juice (we used frozen)
1 1/2 t. Salt-Free Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 t. Onion Powder
1/4 t. Ground Black Pepper
1 pound tilapia fillets

Melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Add lemon juice, garlic & herb seasoning, onion powder and pepper; mix together. Brush entire butter mixture over fish. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat 10 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Default Makes a great snack

Take your basic frozen shrimp (any size - frozen pre-cooked)

Take frozen shrimp and then add

BBQ shaker seasoning....like wing dust but the BBQ kind (Garlic Dust is good too)

Shaker Chopped Dill (tsp or so)

Minced Fresh Garlic (I use the jar stuff)


No real measurements on these items it really is just a matter of taste to your liking... more BBQ....more Dilll?????? You chose!!!

As shrimp thaws it makes a marinade for the shrimp and you have a great tasting shrimp snack. Also good to put on salad with a little dressing of your choice. I have eaten these cold or also grilled them which are also great!!!!

ENJOY!!!
