Try broiling them about 4-5 minutes or toss in a skillet sprayed with non-stick spray over medium heat for 3-5 minutes tossing now and then.

How funny, I searched your site for a shrimp recipe, and came upon the recipe that you put together after I requested one about two years ago. Damn, I’ve have LOST my mind but I did make these last night, and did not forget the olive oil this time, added a tad more honey…can we say DELISH!!! What’s with me and Shrimp?

Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that, you – the fabulous Roni took the time to read a post!! Made my day!

Hi Roni! First of all–you are beautiful! Secondly,going on the shrimp theme–might I divulge that I love goat cheese? But to the point:
I went to Trader Joe’s and bought a package of turkey bacon; a bag of cooked, de-veined shrimp; a tub of crumbled goat cheese; some organic dates; jar of olives; and a bag of pineapple slivers.
*I pre-heated the oven to “broil” and sprayed some foil with olive-oil no-stick spray
*Cut the turkey bacon slices in half, length-wise
*split and de-pitted the dates
*finely chopped the olives and scooped into the pitted dates
*wrapped uncooked turkey bacon halves around the olive-stuffed dates and secured with a toothpick
*wrapped turkey bacon around 2 shrimp (with pinapple slivers in between them) and secured with a toothpick

*broiled in oven for a couple of minutes

had a bit of crumbled goat cheese (1/8 cup?) with the bacon-wrapped dates & shrimp

works great as a party appetizer OR as a dinner, perhaps atop couscous???

Just guesstimating the WW points:
per bacon wrapped date (with goat cheese and olives): 1.5 points
per bacon wrapped shrimp (with goat cheese and pineapple): 1.5 points

very gourmet! tasty & satisfying!! (and quick!) also works with scallops, atop seasoned rice, etc. Trader Joe’sweet chili sauce is also good with this, and is >1 point per serving.

I am thinking you cook with the shell on, since your husband complained, is that correct?

I just saw this, am I a moron or what? I am at your site EVERY DAY, duh!! I can’t wait to make it this week. I did make the Veggie and Shrimp (sans angel hair) recipe you gave me for Mothers Day and got RAVE reviews!! So kudos to you (and me for following the recipe)!

Roni I’ve only recently started lurking here to find good healthy recipe ideas and have a quick question about the marinade. I love lemon juice but was wondering if you think that a tablespoon of lime juice would be a good substitute? I have a lot of it and thought this might be a good instance when it could stand in. Anyway, they look very yummy!

This recipe sounds really good. I have made shrimp skewers before and i love them for a good, satisfying WW meal! They are so low in calories. I would also love to see more shrimp recipes.
I make a shrimp pasta using whole wheat linguine and saute the 1 pound bag of frozen shrimp in 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp minced garlic. Then drain the pasta, toss in the olive oil and shrimp, top with fresh chopped parsley and serve with a green salad. Can also add chopped roma tomatoes for a completely different taste.
