The addition of tofu to this traditional stir-fry shrimp dish allows you to cut back on the amount of shrimp-a shellfish that is high in cholesterol-yet still get the delectable flavor.

Yield:  4 servings (serving size: ¼ of the recipe, 369 grams or ~ 1 ½ cups)

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and cleaned (with tails on)
• 1 (8 ounce) container super firm cubed tofu, drained
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh peeled ginger, minced
• 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, in juice, drained
• 1/3 cup organic chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 3 green onions, sliced thinly

Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet, over medium high heat. Add shrimp and fry for approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently and flipping sides, until shrimp has turned opaque in color. Transfer shrimp to a separate plate. Add another tablespoon of canola oil to skillet. Add garlic, ginger and tofu and sauté until garlic and tofu are light brown in color (approximately 5 minutes). Add pineapple and sauté until pineapple takes on a caramelized appearance. Add green beans to skillet and cook an additional 5 minutes, turning frequently. Add back shrimp, then add chicken broth and teriyaki sauce, stir. Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes or so until green beans are crisp. Remove from heat, stir in green onions and serve immediately with a side of brown rice (topped with Take Control Light margarine).
