6 ounces crab meat — drained
4 ounces goat cheese with herbs
4 ounces monterey jack cheese with jalapeno peppers — grated
1 ounce parmesan reggiano — grated
1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 tablespoon Smart Balance Omega Plus Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce — optional
1/4 cup whole grain cheesesticks — coarsely ground in processor

2 egg — beaten
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon water
1/3 cup whole grain cheesesticks — coarsely ground in processor
2/3 cup panko
olive oil spray

In a medium bowl, mix the first ten ingredients with a fork; then refrigerate for at least one hour.

Using a sharp knife, split each shrimp down back form head to tail. Remove mud vein if present by washing under cold water. Spray a cookie sheet with olive oil, then place each shrimp onto sheet opened in butterfly fashion. Pat each shrimp with a paper towel to dry. Top each shrimp with about a tablespoon of crab/cheese mixture. In a bowl, beat 2 eggs with 1 teaspoon of water and 2 tablespoons of flour. In another bowl, combine the 1/3 cup of ground cheesesticks with the pankow and mix to combine. Dip each shrimp, crab side down, into beaten eggs; then into pankow mixture, coating evenly. When all the shrimp are coated, spray lightly with olive oil and place into a preheated 450-degree oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 18 stuffed shrimp.

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces chicken thigh, no skin, R-T-C
1 tablespoon rice flour, brown
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fish sauce (Nuoc Mam)
1 teaspoon molasses
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon chopped basil
1 tablespoon chili paste — optional
1 cucumber — sliced
2 cups brown rice, cooked

Dust chicken thighs with rice flour. In a large sauce pan, heat olive oil; then add chicken thighs. Cook chciken until browned on each side, then add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until chicken is completely done. While chicken is cooking, arrange two serving dishes with sliced cucumbers on the edge of the dish and 1 cup of cooked brown rice in the center. At this point you may remove chicken thighs and arrange on top of brown rice. You may also thicken remaining liquid with a small amount of cornstarch slurry. Spoon some sauce over chicken and rice, then serve immediately. I like to serve this with some stir-fried broccoli on the side.
