Shrimp Salad
Posted on 04/19/13, 11:59 pm I just made the most wonderful shrimp salad this evening for dinner!! I am still preop, and I know this won't work for post op folks early on, but a bit later.... Yummy!! I bought a pound of the little, already cooked bay shrimp. At least that's what I call them... They are the very small ones. Then I cut up a bunch of the following into little tiny pieces 1 avocado 3 colors of bell peppers, about a fourth of a pepper a piece. white onion half a zucchini
medium tomato about 6 or 8 strawberry's about a dozen seedless grapes green onions 3 stalks of celery a handful of baby carrots (I was going to grate these, but my grater was dirty. I probably would have used a bit more, but I got tired of cutting the darn little things up by hand!) Then I took one orange and squeezed the juice into the bowel. I sprinkled lemon pepper, a bit of salt, and tossed it all up real well. Then I added 1 TBSP of guacamole ranch dressing and tossed again till well mixed. This made a HUGE bowl of salad!! Not sure how many servings.... but at least 6 One avocado has about 325 calories, 4 gms of protein. One pound of bay shrimp has 480 calories, 92 grms of protein guacamole ranch dressing, 1 TBSP has 65 calories (and not much of anything else good for you!) As for the veggies and small amount of fruit... Well, I'd say add maybe 300 calories should cover it. Total calories for all 6+ servings 1170, if you divide it into 6 servings, it is 195 calories and 15+ protein. Of course, it would be real easy to swap out whatever you like in yours.... Did turn out real yummy! And looks pretty too :)
