About

Here is one of my favorite recipes...it's high in protein, flavorful and light yet filling...

This dish is HIGH in protein, iron, calcium, fiber, vitamin D & E & C, probiotics and is low in calories. It's also low in carbs so it's a great lunch/dinner choice!!! :)

***NOTE*** If you're lactose intolerant, forget the yogurt/cottage cheese/skim milk (if these things upset your stomach) and add in 5-7 extra chopped shrimp to keep the protein intake high ;)
