Nutritional Facts Per Serving: 221 calories 11 grams fat ( 2 grams Sat Fat ) 197 mg chol 339 mg sodium 2 gram carbs 0 gram fiber 26 gram protein My Twist: - I use the already shelled, precooked frozen shrimp. - I use parsley and basil for the fresh herbs and I added dried dill. - If you want to have this last over a couple of days I would mix up the dressing, herbs and cheese. Then in a small sandwich bag put in what you want to eat for that day and add some of the dressing. Can get super strong if all is mixed together and the left in the frig for a day or two.. This way you can have it all ready to go and just make and eat what you want. Great for putting together fast in the morning before work and then just toss in your work frig till food time. - I also used lime juice instead of peel. BUT if you do this be sure you do not leave your shrimp in it to long as the acid in the lime juice will over cook your shrimp. - Kraft makes an AWESOME Italian dressing to use for this. Its called Carb Well. I just bump it up with some balsamic cuz I like it a bit on the "bite" side. Enjoy! *huggles* Felicia
