WLS friendly Shrimp scampi recipe needed....
I just got a new cookbook for weight loss surgery and low and behold it has a shrimp scampi recipe!
olive oil cooking spray
1/2 cup minced shallots
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-vined
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup clam juice
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt & pepper to tase.
Heat cooking spray until hot. Saute shallots and garlic for 1 min. Add shrimp and saute until pink. Stir in wine and clam juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook 30 seconds. Add parsley and lemon juice. Toss well to coat shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
The scampi sounds fabulous! (How the dickens did I miss THAT deal???)
I have to admit, shrimp is often my "oops, I don't have anything decent to eat" back-up lunch. I keep a bag in the freezer, and will just thaw it out (pre-cooked shrimp), mix up some horseradish & ketchup for ****tail sauce, and eat 'em just like that! I don't know, but it goes down better for me than lunch meats.
That scampi, tho - I may have to try that!
Lois - Did the recipe identify portion size for the nutrition info given?
