Creamy Shrimp and Spaghetti Squash

1/2 cup Chicken Broth

3 Light Swiss Light Laughing Cow Wedges

1/4 cup water

1/4 T old bay or red pepper

Mix together to make a creamy sauce then 7 oz shrimp (9 oz raw)

1 cup spaghetti squash

1/2 cup broccoli

Counts for a full lean and green with 2.5 condiments and 1.5 healthy fat. 

You can also change it up by adding 6 oz chicken breast , removing one of the Light laughing cow cheese.

Varying the 1/2 cup Broccoli to be peppers, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, tomatoes would also be tasty and lean and green friendly. If making it with chicken reduce the light laughing cow cheese to 2 wedges.
