CITRUS SHRIMP SALAD

1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pound medium peeled and deveined shrimp
1 cup watercress, chopped

2 tablespoons honey
Nonfat cooking spray
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional)

In a food processor, add the garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and blend until smooth.

Pour lemon juice mixture into a medium sized bowl then add shrimp. Toss to coat evenly, cover with plastic wrap then marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In a large serving bowl, add the watercress, cabbage, and carrot and mix until combined.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey then pour over salad mix. Toss until well-coated.

Spray a small skillet with nonfat cooking spray. Pour shrimp with the marinade into the pan and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes or until shrimp is completely pink in the center.

Place cooked shrimp in center of salad and garnish with optional basil and peanuts.
