Yes, the shrimp balls did not come out so good. I followed the directions and though they looked and smelled good they tasted pretty bad. So the next night I took all 25 or so of them, crumbled them up in a large bowl. This didn’t take much as they were falling apart to begin with! They already had onions, garlic, and the rest of the ingredients so I was halfway there! I just added 1 cup of egg beaters, 1 cup fat-free half-and-half, about 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed out) and some shredded low-fat cheese. (About 2 cups). Threw it all in a large round casserole dish and baked it for about 45 minutes at 350º. And presto! A delicious dinner saved! So much better all around. And since I don’t use a crust you save more calories!

Crustless Dinner Quiche
This is a very filling dish which is great for leftovers as breakfast the next day! I use most of the same ingredients each time though I will switch sometimes depending on what I have on hand. I always add spinach but I will vary if I put in chicken, shrimp, scallops, sausage. And you will not even miss the crust! It comes out almost like a Quiche casserole. It’s always a good “go to” dinner if you can’t figure out what to make. It’s easy and actually good for you! I usually use egg beaters (plain or flavored) and fat-free half-and-half. Feel free to use real eggs and milk if you want the full fat version. Make sure also with any of the high water content foods like the spinach and shrimp to get as much water out of them as possible.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup EggBeaters (or any egg substitute)
1 cup fat-free half-and-half (or 2% milk)
1 cup chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon basil
2 teaspoons parsley
1 cup salad shrimp, thawed and drained well (or enough cooked chopped shrimp to make a cup)
2 pre-cooked chicken sausages, roughly chopped (any flavor you like)
few dashes hot sauce
1 ½ cups shredded 2% cheese of your choice (I usually use cheddar)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine all ingredients except for ½ cup of the shredded cheese, in a large bowl. Mix well.
2. Pour into a round deep dish baking pan. I use a 10″ round which is about 2″ deep. It has to be deep enough to hold all of the mixture. Sprinkle the ½ cup of shredded cheese over the top.
3. Bake at 350º for about 45 minutes. The top will puff up and then settle when you take it out of the oven. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes. Cut it up and serve!
