Cooking instruction summary:

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bay leaf and cook for 1 minute. Add onion, jalapeos and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in shrimp, cover and cook until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and olives. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, replace cover and cook until the tomatoes are almost broken down, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the bay leaf. Serve with lime wedges.Tips & NotesShopping Tip: Shrimp is usually sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, 21-25 count means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as large or extra large, are not standardized, so to be sure you're getting the size you want, order by the count (or number) per pound. Both wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp can damage the surrounding ecosystems when not managed properly. Fortunately, it is possible to buy shrimp that have been raised or caught with sound environmental practices. Look for fresh or frozen shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as Wild American Shrimp or Marine Stewardship Council. If you can't find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp from North Americait's more likely to be sustainably caught.NutritionPer serving: 192 calories; 6 g fat (1 g sat, 3 g mono);172 mg cholesterol; 11 g carbohydrates; 0 g added sugars; 24 g protein; 2 g fiber; 324 mg sodium; 516 mg potassium.Nutrition Bonus: Selenium (61% daily value), Vitamin C (40% dv), Iron & Vitamin A (20% dv).Carbohydrate Servings: 1/2Exchanges: 1 1/2 vegetable, 3 lean meat, 1 fatMore From EatingWellHealthy Fruit Bars RecipesThese healthy fruit bars are the perfect snack to put in your...Healthy Summer Dessert RecipesCelebrate summer with our summer dessert recipes made with...Top 50 Potluck RecipesThis collection of healthy potluck recipes is full of crowd-...Healthy Bean Salad RecipesThese healthy bean salad recipes bring fresh summery life to the...Recipes for Healthy Brownies and BlondiesBrownies and blondies are crowd-pleasing desserts for any...Low-Calorie Pasta Salad RecipesOur low-calorie pasta salad recipes will be a favorite dish...Healthy Smoothie RecipesWhether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a refreshing...Healthy Iced Tea RecipesA tall glass of iced tea on a hot day is refreshing, and it...10-Minute Breakfast RecipesIf youre in a rush and thinking about skipping breakfast,...Granola Bar Recipes and Power Bar RecipesUsing healthy ingredients such as nuts, dried fruit and whole...Healthy Spinach RecipesSpinach might have made Popeye strong, but what he probably...Mothers Day Brunch RecipesTheres no better way to celebrate Mothers Day than by...Good Skin Foods: Healthy Recipes for Glowing SkinSunscreen helps keep your skin healthy and beautiful,...Quick Light LunchesSave your waistline and your wallet with these quick and...Breakfast Casserole RecipesOur breakfast casserole recipes are a satisfying way to start...Easy Mexican Food FavoritesWe love Mexican meals, but often the differences between...Recipe CategoriesHealth & Diet ConsiderationsLow carbohydrateLow saturated fatLow sodiumHeart healthyHealthy weightGluten freeDiabetes appropriateLow calorieEase of PreparationEasyTotal Time30 minutes or lessServings4Main IngredientShellfishPreparation/ TechniqueSauteMeal/CourseDinnerSeasonSpringSummerFallHolidayCinco de MayoStyle/ThemeEntertaining, casualQuick (total 30 min. or less)Type of DishMain dish, fish/seafoodEthnic/RegionalMexicanPublicationMay/June 2008
