Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat or oat bran pita pockets (6-inch rounds), cut in half
- 2 cups cooked peeled shrimp (about 12 ounces)
- 4 ounces thinly sliced nonfat or reduced-fat

- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 8 slices tomato
- 4 thin slices red onion, separated into rings
- 1/2 cup bottled nonfat or reduced-fat ranch salad dressing
Directions:
- Fill each pita half with 1/4 cup of the shrimp and, if desired, 1/2 ounce of the cheese.
- To heat the sandwiches, arrange them on a large microwave-safe plate, cover with damp paper towels, and microwave on high power for 2 minutes, or just until the sandwiches are heated through.
