Shrimp and Basil Mock-Fredo

This is UNBELIEVABLY low calorie/carb and friggin awesome!


For the sauce:
3/4 cup 1% cottage cheese
3-4 Tbs boiling water
2 Tbs grated parmesan cheese (Reggiano is the best)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large fresh basil leaves torn up

Blend everything in a blender until smooth.  If it is too thick add a little more boiling water.
Done.  Easy and delicious! 

I cooked the shrimp with a little lemon pepper.
The noodles were calorie, carb and fat free No Oodles - Shirataki Noodles.
Toss it all together and voila!  Add peas and chopped prosciutto if you are feeling extra fancy.


This sauce is VERY versatile, make low cal mac and cheese mb adding cheddar instead of the parmesan or queso chip dip by adding salsa and fresh cilantro.
