Eating Light

So lately i have been trying to lighten up my dinners, eat more fish and veggies and stay away from sugars and simple carbs. So i went to harris teeter to find some good fresh fish and they had these lobster tails for $5.00 so i decided to treat myself. Of course these are no Bahamian lobsters but i suppose they will have to do!

Now i know this doesn't look like eating light haha but i use smart balance and if you read the ingredients it has the same good and bad fats as extra virgin olive oil and less calories too amazing huh? Well i warmed my garlic and orange zest in some butter and added a sprinkle of chili powder...you could always substitute paprika.

I cracked the back of the lobster in half to expose the flesh and brushed it with the butter, orange zest and chili mixture and popped it under the broiler for about 5 minutes. This was a small lobster so just keep an eye on it you want the flesh to be white and cooked through
