CAJUN STIR-FRY
Cubes of chicken and chunks of smoked turkey kielbasa, plus plenty of herbs and veggies, make this a hearty stir-fry. I sometimes top off servings with shredded mozzarella cheese and minced basil and parsley. -Sharon Clemens of Groveland, Illinois

5-INGREDIENT SHRIMP AND AVOCADO STIR-FRY WITH LEMON
Avocados work well in stir-fries, pairing perfectly with a light, low-fat protein like shrimp. I?m a hungry gal, so I like to serve this dish over brown rice prepared with vegetable broth instead of water, for extra flavor. But feel free to break out your spiralizer to make zoodles (zucchini noodles) or serve the stir-fry in lettuce wraps for the ultimate low-carb meal that will fill you up while boosting your vegetable intake.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 teaspoons oil for cooking with high-heat, such as canola, grapeseed or rice bran and heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until they turn white halfway through, about 4 minutes. Turn the shrimp and sprinkle in the white parts of the scallions and the lemon zest; cook until the shrimp is done, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the avocado and soy sauce. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and serve with additional lemon wedges.
HONEY LIME CAJUN SHRIMP STIR FRY
This is a recipe I developed myself. The first stir fry that 2 out of 3 of my kids will eat! I took the basic marinade from Recipe #231870 and made up my own stir fry. The vegetables are what I had on hand, so feel free to adjust the veggies to what you like to use. Time includes only 1 hour of marinading.

CAJUN SHRIMP STIR FRY
I got this out of a magazine called "Clean Eating" This is low in fat and sugar. Both DH and I found it to be outstanding. It may say fry but there is nothing fatty about it. It would also be great on the Weight Watchers program.
