Wonderful, light summer dinner! I grilled the shrimp after marinating them for about 30 minutes with lemon pepper and lots of garlic. I forgot the jalapeno and didn't miss it. It's strange that the recipe is only for one serving, why wouldn't you want leftovers! Tripling works great as another reviewer pointed out.
Edamame and Bean Salad with Shrimp and Fresh Salsa
Edamame can be cooked in the microwave in minutes, and everything else can be purchased already cooked to save time. Triple the recipe if you want to use the whole can of beans. Have an apple with your lunch, and you'll get close to 45 grams of carbohydrates--and a nice dose of fiber.
Yield: 1 serving (serving size: 1 1/3 cups)
