Notes:
A delicious(and pretty looking) dish. Serves 2 people…This dish has it all, meat, veggies and grain… with only 400 calories per serving… If your looking for less calories you may lighten up on the rice. Takes about 40 minutes to prepare.

Servings: 2

Ingredients:
2/3 cup white rice
1/2 cup chopped brocolli
1 cup pre-cooked baby shrimp
3 slices turkey bacon
1 yellow plantain
2 tbsp low calorie light BBQ sauce
1 tbsp minced garlic
Adobo and/or salt for seasoning

Directions:
Spray small sauce pan with cooking spray. Add rice and stir until it steams. Add 1 1/3 cup water, cover pan. Lower heat to low when boiling.
Chop skinned planatain horizontally into very thin pieces. Spray skillet significantly bringing to medium heat. Add planatains. After plantains turn dark yellow, spray them and turn over. Cook until golden brown. Keep hot.
In another small sauce pan, boil 1/2 cup of water. Add brocolli. Cook until softened. Season brocolli.
When Plantains are done, or in a seperate skillet, Spray pan. Bring heat to low.
In a bowl, combine garlic, shrimp and turkey(chopped into tiny peices).
Pour ingredients in skillet and cook on medium heat. When ingredients are dark brown(the way I like it), add BBQ sauce and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes.
When rice is done, pour into large bowl.
Chop up plantains into tiny peices, add to rice. Mix ingredients by chopping not stirring… Seperate into 2 dishes, you have got yourself a delicious entre!!!!
