Teriyaki Shrimp Fried Rice

I started doing Weight Watchers (kind of) again, so first off don't be surprised if you see more healthy recipes here!!

3 oz medium peel shrimp (pre-cooked weight)
1/2 cup instant white rice (pre-cooked amount)
1 1/2 cup tri-colored cole slaw mix (cabbage, red cabbage, carrots)
1 egg
2 tbs Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce and marinade, divided

prepare rice according to box directions (typically equal parts water and rice). While rice is sitting, cook shrimp with 1 tbs of the teriyaki sauce. Add cooked shrimp to finished rice. Cook cabbage mix with the remaining 1 tbs of teriyaki sauce till desired tenderness (I like mine to be crispy so I only cooked it about 3 min) then add rice and shrimp. Cook another two minutes, make a small hole in the middle and add the egg, scrambling as it cooks. Once the egg is cooked mix everything together and enjoy!!

This made enough for just me but it's only 9 points plus!! You could easily double, triple or more the recipe to feed everyone but the rest of the fam had fried chicken tonight, so I opted for something healthier!!

Shepherds Pie

I got this recipe over ten years ago from the mother of one of this kids I used to watch. It's one of my favorite because if you just change a few things (soup, cheese, potatoes) it can be a whole different meal!!

2 lbs ground beef

1 can cream of celery soup

1 package frozen corn

1 package mashed potatoes (sour cream and chives works well)

1 bag shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350, brown ground beef and drain. Add cream of celery soup and mix together. Make mashed potatoes according to package directions. Take 9x13 pan and layer ingredients, meat mixture, corn, mashed potatoes and cheese. Place in oven and cook 25-30 minutes. 

We always eat off this dish twice. A little side note, the recipe says to put the mashed potatoes on top of the corn, I know that's how shepherds pie is supposed to be but I think it's hard to spread the mashed potatoes over corn so I put the mashed potatoes on top of the meat and then add the corn and cheese. BOTH ways work so just layer how you want :)

Also as I said in the beginning it's so easy to change a few things to make a different dish. Use cream of cheese soup and taco seasoning for a Mexican spin. Try using tomato soup and mozzarella cheese for an Italian taste. Play around and I bet you will find something you love!
