Sport How bad is shrimp scampy?

Sport Fitness
Going out tonight with my girlfriend for a nice dinner, and I'm craving it. I guess it would be a cheat meal...

How bad is it really?
 
I know that it's very high in cholesterol, so probably very high in calories too. Shrimp scampi and garlic shrimp are my weakness... I could eat that every day and never get tired of it! And thanks a lot because I'm sure I'll be heading to Red Lobster later! :p It probably does have some nutritional value, more than say, fast food, for example. One little guilty pleasure won't hurt, right? :eek:
 
Any scampi that your buy is gonna be pretty bad for you, but you can make it yourself with king prawns (which I think you Yanks call big shrimp) wholewheat bread crumbs egg and salt and pepper.

take the prawns, dip them in beaten egg, cover them in bread crumbs and lightly fry them in a very small amount of olive oil.
Dont croud the pan, make sure they have lots of room to breath.

I'm not too sure, but i think that if you drizzle milk over them then you can grill them. but dont take my word for it.
