Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce

If it's seafood for dinner why not shrimp with cocktail sauce? No cooking, no cleaning. How many of us looked in the mirror and feel that we should loose some weight? How hard can this be?
Just buy some cooked shrimp and serve it with cocktail sauce.

In the Q&A section in the book it says that "you can enjoy shrimps, lobster, scallops, crab, oysters, clams, mussels and so on. None of the shellfish dishes should be prepared or served with any fats, oils, butter, or margarine. Cocktail sauce may be used in moderation".

Pan Grilled Tilapia with Lemon Caper Dressing

Season tilapia fillet with salt, pepper, garlic powder or fish seasoning and put it in a non stick pan over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

Brush half lemon with olive oil and place it on the hot grill, cut side down. Grill lemon until nicely browned, about 5 minutes, turning once. Let it cool and squeeze it in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of drained capers and some olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Wisk and adjust seasoning. (you can skip the olive oil)

Drizzle fish with lemon caper dressing. Serve with steamed broccoli.

Broiled Rainbow Trout

Day 1 and day 5 is fish for dinner.

Make a few diagonal slashes into the flesh (this will help the fish cook evenly) season with coarse salt, black pepper or fish seasoning and put a couple of rosemanry sprigs or parsley and lemon slices in the cavity. Spray aluminum foil with non-stick spray.
Place the fish on foil than put it in a pan. Broil on the rack in the middle of the oven until the slashes on the fish turn opaque.
The trout is cooked properly when the meat is easily pulled away from the bone at the thickest part of the fish.
Serve with: unlimited salad, slice ofprotein bread an a grapefruit.
