In honor of Mardi Gras last night, I decided to cook up a New Orleans style dinner. This is an untraditional take on the traditionally calorie and fat laden sandwich. Instead of fried shrimp, I sauteed them with garlic and onions for flavor. To make the creamy base for the remoulade, I used fat free plain greek yogurt instead of mayo or sour cream. This can be whipped up in 15 minutes and is a crunchy, spicy and flavorful dinner or lunch. Best of all, it's packed with filling protein. Having never been to New Orleans, I am not an expert on this type of cuisine. Love it? Hate it? Let me know what you think in the comments!
