Indian Shrimp Curry

I am a huge fan of Indian & Thai food so when I saw this recipe on Skinnytaste.com I was excited to try it. I made it for supper the other night & it was oh so yummy! I have made it twice now - once with jasmine rice & another time with quinoa & I must say both sides were equally delicious with this dish!

Definitely one to file away & make another day!

Cilantro Lime Shrimp

This is another fabulous Weight Watchers recipe that I found over at Skinnytaste.com. Shrimp is one of my favorite "skinny" foods to cook with. It has a lot of protein, is low in calories & cooks up quickly for a fast & easy meal. I made this for dinner tonight & served it over jasmine rice along with a salad - YUM!
