This is out of one of my Weight Watchers cookbooks called "Take-Out Tonight!" Both DH and I really liked this dish. You can use 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 sea scallops if you prefer. You can also replace the asparagus with broccoli florets or fresh snow peas.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Diet food? No way!!! This is really tasty and filling. The only change I made was using an orange and red pepper, instead of red and green. Had just the right amount of "heat" from the chili-garlic sauce. Going to try with snow peas next time, or broccoli! Thanks for a keeper.

    I really really liked this. Although a Ww recipe, it really didn't feel like 'diet food' at all. I have to admit, I forgot to add the ginger, so I had to imagine that taste, but I'm sure it would'v only enhanced the flavour. I also had to substitute blanched fine green beans for the asparagus. This is very veggie-intensive: a great way to ensure your 5-a-day! Thanks Teresa, for posting.

    This is really good and spicy. Only difference is I used frozen broccoli spears instead of asparagus. If made in a pan, make sure it is a big one

    This tasted phenomenal! My hubby and I made this for dinner and were really happy with the results. We added about 1 cup snow peas and a couple carrots sliced on the diagonal (you can never have too many veggies, right?), so we doubled the sauce. The only thing I didn't like was how salty the sauce got, but I think that's more a factor of how salty our bean paste and chili-garlic sauce were to begin with (we used a bottled sambol sauce, so I might have better luck with homemade chili-garlic sauce). We will def be making this again, just tweaking a little to reduce the saltiness. The directions were perfect and our veggies came out tender crisp--great recipe! Thanks!
