Curried Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime and Garlic

WW Recipe of the Day: Low Carb Curried Shrimp

We have my sister, Brenda, to thank for this easy, healthy delicious recipes for Curried Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime and Garlic.

Do you have a favorite ingredient you keep on hand for those busy nights when you are just too tired and need something quick and easy?

A bag of frozen shrimp tucked away in the freezer is perfect when you're too busy to plan, but want a quick and easy meal. Placed in a bowl of ice water they'll defrost enough to cook in just a few minutes.

Shrimp is super Weight Watchers friendly too. It is now a Zero SmartPoints food on the WW Freestyle Program.

And thanks to my sister, Brenda, I've got a new super simple scrumptious way to prepare them: Curried Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime and Garlic.

Even better than cooking shrimp is having it delivered to you already prepared, which is what happened to me when she stopped by last week with a full container for us to try!

Recipe Notes

Southwest meets India when you combine Indian curry with the bold flavors of lime juice, cilantro and sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

We changed up the recipe a bit to make it easier and a little more Weight Watchers friendly.

The original recipe called for chopped shallot, something I rarely have on hand, so skipped it.

And while low fat sour cream has 84 fewer calories and 10 less grams of fat per ½ cup serving than the full fat stuff, I was able to shave off 2 more SmartPoints per serving by using plain nonfat Greek yogurt instead.

Brenda served this Curried Shrimp dish with red quinoa and spinach making for a healthy colorful dinner.

We tucked ours into tortillas making little street tacos. Rice (or cauliflower rice if you're wanting to keep your Points as low as possible) and a green vegetable such as peas also would be great.
