Skinny Takeout-Style Asian Dinner

I love takeout food. I blame all of my weight problems on cheap, delicious Thai food that can be at my doorstep with just the snap of a finger anytime I want. While you can defintely still enjoy eating out while watching your weight (I sure do), it's not something you want to make a habit of. Plus, you can easily make this dinner in less time than it would take to order in from a restaurant.

Skinny Broccoli and Shrimp in Garlic Sauce

Serving Size: 1 cup

WW Points Plus Value: 3

1 bunch broccoli florets

5 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 lb shrimp, raw

1/2 cup fat free beef broth

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

1 Tablespoon sesame oil

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place broccoli on a baking sheet, spray with a light mist of cooking spray and salt well. Bake until tops are browned and crispy, about 30 minutes.
• Combine garlic, broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil in a large frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat until thick, then add broccoli and stir well. Turn heat to low and place shrimp under a broiler and cook for 3 minutes per side. Add to broccoli when done and gently stir in. Serve over rice, with an egg roll, or any way your little heart desires.
