|  I need a simple recipe for shrimp I"ve never been a big fan of seafood, but I got adventurous and bought a bag of frozen, cleaned, deveined, tailless shrimp at the store. I've never fixed shrimp. Any suggestions on how to prepare them? I appreciate your input!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | What about shrimp salad? If it's not boiled, boil it, then cool, and use dressing of your choice. Katsup and mustard mixed makes a good dip. This is one of CraigT's fav recipe that he makes, he once treated me to this when I was visiting. I prepared a tofu dish in return. Incidentally, I have some Tofu recipes up in the GBS recipe forum, if you are interested.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  Tammy~ Hey there.... I don't remember how far you are PostOp... but this is a recipe I used when I was in the "pureed" stage...and then as I got to the soft/normal food stage I just chopped the shrimp and made it chunkier rather than putting it in the food processor and making it smooth. It's extremely moist, hight in protein and extraordinarily delicious. I like to keep a small container in my fridge and if I need a snack sometimes put it on a cracker or melba toast. Here you go: _________________________________________ Shrimp Salad/Spread 1 lb. of shrimp (cooked, peeled, & deveined) 1/4 c. Light mayonnaise (I prefer Hellman's) Juice of 1/2 lemon, (about 1 T.) 2 green onions (scallions), sliced including green tops 1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning (I sometimes switch out a variety of different seasoning...but it changes the taste sooo much. Old Bay is my favorite.) Cook the shrimp just opaque. (you can boil - but I prefer sauteed in a 1/2t. olive oil - it concentrates the flavor of seafood & gives it another layer of taste) Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Blend the mayo, lemon juice, green onion, and seasoning in a food processor until smooth; add shrimp and pulse until they are very finely chopped and the mixture is well blended. Cover and chill. WLS 1/2 c.. portion: Calories-115, Fat-7g, Carbs <1g, Protein- 12g Makes 2.5 cups ________________________________________ I still do the first step of blending in the food processor...and then once I add the shrimp I just pulse it quickly...so that the shrimp is chunky. Hope you enjoy!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | In one of my WLS recipe books.... I found a "dippin sauce" for boiled shrimp if you want something a little different from the traditional "cocktail sauce." (I've tried this twice...and really enjoy it.) ____________________________________________ Simple Horsey Sauce 1C. of Fat-Free sour cream 3T. concentrated Chicken broth 2t. sweet paprika 2T. prepared horseradish In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. If you are not using right away, refrigerate. Sauce can be refrigerated in a tightly sealed container up to a week. I like it room temp. when I eat it with cold boiled shrimp. Calories-24, Protein-1.5g, Fat-.5g, Carbs- 3g __________________________________________________ ___________ (This is also really great sauce on top of a "Turkey Loaf." Also, on broiled chicken, or on a Turkey burger.)

| Docsanae, Is the tofu easy to digest? We have a chain of mexican style restaurants here called "Moe's" that serves Tofu. I usually get a salad with a mixture of Tofu and chicken. It's pretty good! I believe it is marinated. I would be willing to try some tofu at home. I'll check out your recipes. Thanks!

| Super Moderator | Yes, tofu's easy to digest. Tofu also is protein food, so it's good for you. I am now moving this thread into the GBS Recipe forum, as there many recipes have been put up here now.

| Deborah, I made the shrimp salad today and I love it! I sauteed the shrimp first in a little garlic butter and added to the other ingredients. Fabulous!!
