Help me decide. I have a craving for coconut shrimp.... but baked coconut shrimp? Anyone try making these let me know?


Otherwise, I need some dinner ideas, not too "Diet-y" so the boyfriend doesn't complain.

    you definately need to look at skinnytaste.com she takes some great things that are higher fat and cal and makes them over.

    Yes! I've done it and we really enjoy it! Shrimp cook quickly, so just be sure not to overcook it. Cooking at a high heat will help crisp the outside in shorter time. And my hubby loves it too! I've also done it with chicken tenders. Sometimes I grind up almonds and use almond meal as the coating.

    i make shrimp (steamed or grilled with evo) salad for my fiance with lawry's teriaki sauce and he loves it! sometimes i add a perdue chicken breast to it, if i know he is really hungry.


    p.s. on rare occasions i find that if i make something too "diety" he will throw it all on a sandwich bun (dont laugh) so i just try to think about his mood and sometimes i will fix a healthy meal for me, and take his portion and throw it on a sandwich bun!


    good luck!

    We're having meatloaf for dinner tonight, as that's what my 7 year old requested. I'm just making a healthier version of it. I'm not a good or adventurous good, though, so I'm probably not much help, LOL.

    I had bad breakfast and lunch, so it's Tuna salad with no bread, crackers, anything that has carbs basically. Maybe on a bed of spinach with tomatoes.

    Well I know I'm late to respond, and you've already made dinner, but this is a great baked coconut shrimp recipe.
