A Shrimp Shack Special!

 

Makes 4 servings

This dish is fun for the whole family, and it's easy. Buy the shrimp already peeled and deveined. If it's frozen, thaw it in a bowl of cold water, drain, and pat dry. The slaw is made with prepared cole slaw mix and a can of beans — and it's a red slaw, made spicy with chili powder and hot sauce.

Ingredients:
Shrimp
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)

Slaw
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4- 1/2 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups prepared cole slaw mix
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Shrimp Sauce
1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
1-2 tablespoons prepared white horseradish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:
To make the shrimp: Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the shrimp in a mound on the pan and mix with the lemon juice, pepper sauce, oil, and salt (if using). Spread out on the pan. Let stand for 10 minutes while preparing the slaw and the sauce.

Preheat the broiler. Broil the shrimp 3" to 4" from the heat until pink and just opaque in the thickest part, about 5 minutes.

To make the slaw: In a salad bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, chili powder, pepper sauce, and salt. Add the cole slaw mix and beans and toss to mix well.

To make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, and lemon juice. Serve the shrimp with the sauce and the slaw.

OK... I feel like a total dope for asking this, but what is "prepared cole slaw mix?" I am not a big slaw person, but I am willing to try it. Also, it sounds like something my husband would love.

Thanks!

It's just pre-shredded cabbage and carrots.
