A friend made this recipe for me last night and it was delicious. It has an intriguing mix of flavors, but is not at all heavy. A great summer entree. And for the Weight Watchers out there, a serving is only 4 pts! Give it a try.

What a lovely flavor! Never had grapefruit in a spicy dish except salad - this I'll definitely make again! Thanks for sharing! Made for Healthy Choices ABC.

This was amazing. So, so very good. The sauce is delicious and the red pepper flakes give it a perfect kick that compliments the clean, bright grapefruit and mint flavors very well. I'll be making this often. Thank you!
