BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP AND GRITS.

Grits, b.u.t.ter, and cheese have a highly symbiotic relations.h.i.+p. Similar to polenta, grits are simply ground dried corn that is rehydrated and reheated with milk, water, or broth and flavored with cheese, b.u.t.ter, salt, and pepper-and sometimes some other very good things. While I've been known to serve grits with black truffles, the traditional additions can pile up the fat and calories fast. Using low-fat cheese and extra-lean turkey bacon and omitting the b.u.t.ter reduced the fat grams from 46.7 to 7.4 and cut the calories by half. Serves 4 Serves 4

12 jumbo shrimp (about 12 ounces), peeled and deveined 6 slices extra-lean turkey bacon, cut in half Nonstick cooking spray 1 cup skim milk cup frozen peas 1 scallion (white and green parts), sliced thin on the diagonal cup quick-cooking grits 3 slices 2% reduced-fat cheddar singles, such as Kraft Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1.

SHRIMP PAD THAI.

If you've never had real pad Thai, it will change your life when you do. It's a perfect example of Asian kitchen alchemy. The texture of the rice noodles against the sweet, salty, sour, and bitter taste of the almost seventeen ingredients (in the original) is the thesis for every Asian fusion dish to come out of an American chef's kitchen since the 1980s. "Complex," "layered," and "dynamic" are words that come to mind-and every bite is different. All that comes with a price, though! The original can tip the scales at 2,000 calories per serving. This made-over version comes in at a fraction of the calories and a fraction of the work, and it tastes great. Fish sauce is derived from fermented fish and can be found in many Southeast Asian dishes. It is available in the ethnic or Asian aisle of most major supermarkets. Serves 4 Serves 4

4 ounces brown rice noodles 12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 3 cups bean sprouts 8 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed cup Rockin' Asian Stir-Fry Sauce Asian Stir-Fry Sauce or store-bought sugar-free teriyaki sauce, such as Seal Sama or store-bought sugar-free teriyaki sauce, such as Seal Sama 2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut b.u.t.ter 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons fish sauce 4 scallions (white and green parts), sliced thin on the diagonal cup chopped fresh cilantro 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the noodles according to the package directions. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp, 2 cups of the bean sprouts, and the sugar snap peas. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly, and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender and the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PAELLA.

This brown-rice version of the national dish of Spain may raise some eyebrows in Barcelona, but at less than half the calories of the original, this combination of fragrant saffron, garlic, chorizo, and shrimp is a beautiful thing. Serves 4 Serves 4

2 ounces Spanish chorizo, such as Goya, halved lengthwise and sliced into about -inch-thick half-moons 6 garlic cloves, chopped 1 teaspoon saffron threads 1 cup long-grain brown rice 1 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice 8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined Salt and freshly ground black pepper cup frozen peas 1.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH BROCCOLI.

When I was young, I worked at a resort in the Poconos on the weekends. The way they made Shrimp Scampi was to simply let peeled shrimp sit in very large vat of warm garlic b.u.t.ter until an order came up. After many years of high-end cooking, I realized that wasn't such a bad method after all-unless you were interested in living past the age of fifty. In this version, quick-broiled shrimp and broccoli, in a b.u.t.ter-free lemony, garlicky sauce spiked with fresh oregano, is every bit as good. Serves 4 Serves 4

6 cups large broccoli spears 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 8 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon cornstarch cup (6 tablespoons) fresh lemon juice 1 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano 1.

JUMBO UN-FRIED SHRIMP.

"Jumbo" and "shrimp" aside, there's another oxymoron at work in this recipe. How about a basket of hot, crispy fried shrimp and tartar sauce-and no eater's remorse? The key to the crispy coating is a short blast in a hot oven, not a dunking in a tub of hot oil. A word to the wise: Lobster is really delicious with this preparation, too. Serves 4 Serves 4

cup whole-wheat flour 2 cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs, such as Ian's All-Natural 3 large egg whites 12 ounces jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined Salt and freshly ground black pepper Nonstick cooking spray cup Tartar Sauce Tartar Sauce or store-bought low-fat tartar sauce or store-bought low-fat tartar sauce 1.

SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS STIR-FRY.

There are plenty of Asian stir-fry dishes that contain shrimp. Shrimp with Garlic Sauce and Creaky Shrimp were always my favorites. Don't ask what "creaky" means-I still don't know. I do know that Six Happiness Chinese Restaurant in my neighborhood in New York City was happy to deliver it within fifteen minutes, guaranteed every time. They also delivered a cardboard container-full of sugar and fat at about 800 calories a pop. This is a wholesome 600-fewer-calorie version of that "creaky" stuff: luscious shrimp, asparagus, a simple sauce, and basil. Serves 4 Serves 4

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1 medium Vidalia onion, sliced thin 1 large bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined Salt and freshly ground black pepper cup Rockin' Asian Stir-Fry Sauce Asian Stir-Fry Sauce or store-bought sugar-free teriyaki sauce, such as Seal Sama or store-bought sugar-free teriyaki sauce, such as Seal Sama cup chopped fresh basil 1.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU.

Ever since I was a kid working in catering halls to pay for college, I've been fascinated by how delicious this simple dish is. Though the original has ample amounts of oozing b.u.t.ter, this version doesn't have any any b.u.t.ter in it at all, and it still tastes great. Pay close attention to the cooking time so the chicken doesn't dry out, and prepare the sauce 2 hours ahead of cooking time. b.u.t.ter in it at all, and it still tastes great.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS.

This is a southern comfort food dish that some say came straight out of the Great Depression as a way to stretch a little bit of chicken to feed a big family. Flour and fat are combined to form a dumpling (such a sweet name for such an insidious food, don't you think?) that is then is cooked in broth. In real life, those sweet little dumplings are calorie bombs that call for a healthier version-like this one. Serves 4 Serves 4

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth 1 cup whole milk 3 large celery stalks, sliced thin on the diagonal 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 cups shredded skinless breast meat from a rotisserie or roast chicken cup Bisquick Heart Smart baking mix cup b.u.t.termilk cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1.

CHICKEN ALFREDO.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH WARM MANGO SALSA.

This is a light and simple chicken dish that's perfect for a summer barbecue. Although we eat more chicken than any other animal protein in the United States, the problem with most of it is that it is insipid and tired. A fruit-based salsa like this one offers some sweetness and acidity that really sparks up this ubiquitous bird. This recipe is simply too good not to include. Serves 4 Serves 4
