Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups ( fat-free, less-sodium ) chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup ( uncooked) yellow (stone-ground ) grits
3/4 cup (3 oz) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 lb (large) shrimp, peeled and deveined, each cut into 3 pieces
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 tbsp ( fresh) lemon juice
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
3 large egg whites
1 cooking spray

Directions:

Bring chicken broth and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; add grits, stirring with a whisk. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell pepper, garlic, and mushrooms to pan; sauté 5 minutes. Sprinkle shrimp with black pepper, and add to pan; cook 1 minute. Stir in rind, juice, Worcestershire, and hot pepper sauce; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Place grits and shrimp mixture in a large bowl; stir gently. Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into shrimp mixture. Spoon mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned. Let stand 20 minutes before serving.
