Feta Spinach and Shrimp

This recipe is so good and so easy I had to share it.

(serves 4)

10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 C mayo
1/4 C feta cheese
1 T parmesan, grated
1 clove finely minced garlic
dash of black pepper
lemon zest to taste (1-3 little strips off a lemon rind - don't get the white pulp. Or sub lemon seasoning or lemon juice.)

cooking spray
24 shrimp, raw and deveined
1 clove finely minced garlic
lemon zest (1-3 little strips)

Mix the spinach with the first set of ingredients. (Not the shrimp.) Set aside. Heat skillet and spray with cooking spray. (or use a touch of olive oil.) Add garlic, lemon zest and shrimp. Saute on high about 2 minutes.

Add spinach mix to pan. Cook until shrimp is pink and spinach is thoroughly heated through. (About 4-6 minutes depending on your burners.) The feta will semi-melt. It won't be like cheddar though. Don't over cook the shrimp.

Serve 6 shrimp to each person. Can be served over pasta or as a dish on its own. Including prep time this takes about 15 minutes to make so its a great dish for when you want something tasty, but don't have time to cook.

You can use reduced fat mayo and feta to lower the calories further, but this is already pretty healthy at 318 cal per serving.

Absolutely! I'm a big garlic fan, but my family only likes it in moderate amounts. If you like garlic too I'd say add another 2-3 cloves. It will dominate the flavor balance more, but should still be tasty. (I'm assuming nice fat cloves here, not the skinny ones you get sometimes.)

BUMP!

All of my favorite ingredients..always looking for new things to do! My recent standby is boneless skinless chicken breast stuffed with steamed spinach, goat cheese and red onion. While I love it, I don't want to get tired of it. You just gave me something new to try so thank you!
