Skinny Scrimp Tacos

I perfected the scrimp tacos.
Yes, I say Scrimp and not Shrimp. Get over it.


INGREDIENTS:
-jumbo frozen scrimps (deveined & tails off)
-1 small container fat free greek yogurt (I used Fage 0%)
-lime juice to taste
-cayenne pepper to taste
-cabbage
-salt & pepper to taste
-can of Rotel
-wheat or corn tortillas


DIRECTIONS:
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet until they begin to lightly brown. Set aside.

In the yogurt container add lime juice, cayenne (more if you like it hot), and a pinch of salt. Mix together.

In a skillet, spray with PAM and add cut up cabbage. Heat slightly until it begins to wilt. Add salt & pepper to taste. Set aside.

Cut your scrimps into bite sized chunks. Cook in skillet with a little PAM (or you can use extra virgin olive oil if you'd like to add more unnecessary calories- I didn't.)
Cook only a few minutes until the scrimps pink up.
Drain can of Rotel and add as much as you'd like to scrimps in skillet for a few seconds. (I used about half a can)
Add salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. (Be careful with that cayenne pepper!)

Build your taco!
The best part?
They are 135 calories per taco!

Those look awesome! Do you have an app to calculate your calories or do you just make sure you have a serving of each?

What brand tortillas do you use? Always trying to find the lowest calorie tortilla is tough for me!
