    I glanced briefly at weloveseafood.com and it looked like it had some good ones. If you dig for South Beach recipes, those are going to be very very healthy.

    If you want something simple. A little bit of butter, Old Bay seasoning and shrimp. My 7 yr old loves it.

    Cook them in a little white wine with garlic, onions, crabmeat, chopped pickled jalapenos, and chopped mango. Sprinkle with lime juice and tabasco if you like spice. Top with chopped cilantro. Roll up in a taco and top with your fave toppings. You can also use leftovers as a salad topper.

    I made this the other night and was skeptical but it actually turned out great and was surprisingly 'creamy' (and I LOVE creamy pasta dishes!). You'd never know it was just low-fat yoghurt, lemon and garlic... Super easy too!

    Creamy Garlic Pasta with Shrimp & Vegetables From EatingWell: May/June 2010
    http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/garlicky_shrimp_vegetable_pasta.html

    4 servings, about 2 cups each | Active Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes
    Ingredients

    6 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
    12 ounces peeled and deveined raw shrimp (see Note), cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced
    1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
    1 cup fresh or frozen peas
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
    1 1/2 cups nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
    1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

    Preparation

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook 2 minutes less than package directions. Add shrimp, asparagus, bell pepper and peas and cook until the pasta is tender and the shrimp are cooked, 2 to 4 minutes more. Drain well.
    Mash garlic and salt in a large bowl until a paste forms. Whisk in yogurt, parsley, lemon juice, oil and pepper. Add the pasta mixture and toss to coat. Serve sprinkled with pine nuts (if using).
