1
Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa

Serve homemade coconut-crusted shrimp with a sweet-and-spicy pineapple salsa for a lightened seafood dinner that's out of this world.

Serve With:
- Rice pilaf
- Lela's Hush Puppies
2
Blackened Grouper

This blackened grouper recipe has some heat but the lime juice adds a refreshing zest. Be careful when adding the fish to the pan, as the butter and oil may splatter.

- Canned or frozen vegetables
3

Key Lime Pie

Nothing beats a good key lime pie, and our readers have given this recipe 5 stars. It's a lighter version due to the fat-free sweetened condensed milk and frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, but it tastes just as rich and fresh. You'll never know the difference.
