*Aiming to reduce your carbohydrate load or going gluten-free? Substitute taco shells with iceberg lettuce. Just wash lettuce and peel off outer leaf. Add the shrimp and filling to the leaf.
**Instead of using traditional rice, opt for “riced” veggies. Green Giant offers a line of pre-packaged and frozen varieties including Cauliflower, Cauliflower & Broccoli or Cauliflower Medley.
**Boost the protein and fiber content of the meal by adding black beans to the riced veggies. Heat up a 15 oz. can of black beans. S&W offers a broad line of beans including organic and low-sodium.
If mango is not in season or available at a store near you, substitute with papaya, pineapple, or another sweet, tropical fruit.
