TWO dishes created in less than 15 minutes...165 calories combined!!!

Tonight's dinner was so easy to make, it's great for those nights you come home ravenous from work. It's low in calories, big in flavor and has enough nutrients to keep you full for the rest of the night.
 Creamy Supreme - 80 calories
This dish is great for a cold winter day, but the way my roomate and I keep our apartment, it feels like winter all year round! The creaminess of the squash mixed with the sweetness of the raisins satisfies all tastebuds...and then the cherry on the cake, the pumpkin spice.
Ingredients:
1)1/2 cup butternut squash mashed (I prefer Cascadian Farms...it comes frozen and all you have to do is heat it up!) - 50cals
2) 1 Tbsp Raisins - 30cals
3) 1/2 Tbsp Pumpkin Spice - zero cals
4) dash of salt- zero cals
                                          Preparation:
Place squash in microwave safe bowl with the raisins and salt and heat for 3 minutes. Add pumpkin spice and voila!

'Lettuce' all Eat Shrimp- 85 calories
I love shrimp, you can have 4 large for 25 calories, and most important, they're PINK! Here's a great lettuce/shrimp/hummus combo
Ingredients:
1) 8 Large Shrimp - 50cals
2) Iceburg lettuce leaves (easy for wrapping food in) - zero cals
3) 1 Tbsp hummus (for dipping the wraps)- 35cals
Preparation:
Spray pan with Pam and heat shrimp on medium heat until they are cooked. While they are cooking, cut lettuce head in half for the wraps. After shrimp is prepared, wrap them in the lettuce wraps as you and dip in hummus.  
THE ENTIRE DINNER IS 165 calories!!!
