I added extra garlic, as I do with every recipe. We love our garlic! I wish we had rice to serve it over, but it was good all on its own.

We couldn't believe how good this simple, low calorie recipe was. It almost looks like it can't work, but it does beautifully. Used Greek yogurt and had with cumin infused Basmati rice.

This is a five-star hit! Try sprinkling toasted sliced almonds on top ... it is delicious. We made this with plain Greek yogurt, as I am lactose intolerant. Served with jasmine rice and a salad made from lettuce cut into fine shreds, wafer thin sliced celery and poppyseed dressing. Toss a few of those almonds on the salad, too.

This wonderful blending of flavors is amazing and for the calorie count it's nothing less than stellar. I made it as directed with no problems and it came together easily. Served with Jasmine rice and a fruit salad this made one delicious and memorable meal. Thanks so much for this Marra. :D

DH and I loved these shrimp. I had mine on a bed of basmati rice. I forgot to add the chopped green onions. I'm sure I would have had to give it six stars if they hadn't been omitted. We'll definitely be making this again. Made for the Photo Swap.
