Langostino and Greens

Langostino and Greens

Last week I started my Mindful Eating Plan and the first recipe I made was Langostino Tails with Brussels Sprouts and Kale. Langostino is a Spanish word used to describe the meat of a Squat Lobster which is actually more of a crab. Regardless of what it is, it is tasty. You can also use Shrimp, Scallops, Crab or any of your favorite seafood for this recipe. I tossed mine into the mix frozen and it cooked up nicely. You can also thaw a little under warm water before tossing into the mix. The ginger combined with the lemon juice at the end makes this dish light and bright.Note: This recipe is designated "ME" for Mindful Eating and is generally lower in fat and calories than some of my other recipes. You can search for other mindful recipes in the navigation bar above under Food Love, Recipes and Mindful Eating.
