Jerk Shrimp Caesar Salad

I wasn't planning on cooking anything for dinner...actually, I was just going to have a smoothie.     But, after a KILLER workout on the elliptical machine, I decided a salad would be perfect.    The problem?    What kind of protein is quick and easy and good on a salad?     I had some shrimp in the freezer, so I decided to use the jerk seasoning and make a Jerk Shrimp Caesar Salad.


4 oz. shrimp
Jerk Seasoning
2 TBS Kens Steakhouse Lite Caesar Dressing
Romaine Lettuce

Coat the shrimp with jerk seasoning (it's hot!!).   Cook it in a non-stick pan - it only takes a minute or two.    Serve over a bed of romaine lettuce with two tablespoons of the dressing.

Serves:  1    228 calories, 9 carbs, 8 fat, 30 protein

The shrimp is spicy, but the dressing and the lettuce totally cools it down.    It was a great post workout meal - not too heavy, but enough to make me feel full.
