Spicy Baked Shrimp

Another low calorie recipe that is really high in flavor. The agave nectar can be usually found in the organic section of your grocer. It has as many calories as sugar but you don't have to use as much. I think it is the secret ingredient of this recipe. This probably has less than 200 calories per serving and was adapted from Million Meals Menu Planner

3 TBSP grape seed oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
2 TBSP no salt added Cajun seasoning ( I used 1 TBSP of Old Bay)
2 TBSP fresh lime juice
2 TBSP chopped fresh parsley (I used 1 TBSP dried parsley)
1 TBSP agave nectar
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
pinch cayenne pepper
few drops of Tabasco or other hot sauce
1 lb. uncooked large shrimp, shelled and de-veined (I also butterflied)

Stir together well all ingredients in baking dish and refrigerate 1 hr. Bake at 450f until shrimp are cooked through (about 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally. Serves 4
