No Butter Shrimp Scampi

Abe & I went to the 21st Annual 174th AHC reunion last weekend in Ft. Walton Beach, FL.  We always stop at Sexton's Seafood Market in Destin on our way home to buy fresh seafood.  It's THE best place, in our opinion, to get fresh seafood.  We always bring home some shrimp and usually just do peel & eat shrimp. There has been a Shrimp Scampi recipe floating around Facebook for a few days and I decided to tweak it a tad and made it for dinner last night. This is so incredibly easy and delicious! The hardest part is peeling & deveining the shrimp. But it's so worth it!!!

NO BUTTER SHRIMP SCAMPI

Makes 4 Servings

Did NOT figure P+ value for this*

 

4 TBSP olive oil

@ 1 ¼ pounds medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 – 8 cloves of garlic, minced
½ cup low or no sodium chicken broth
½ cup white cooking wine
¼ cup lemon juice
1/8 cup minced parsley
salt & pepper to taste

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the shrimp until just pink. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a platter and keep warm.

The hardest part of this recipe is peeling and deveining the shrimp. UGH.

In the skillet, combine the broth, wine, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by half.

Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and serve over angel hair pasta or linguine.

MY SPIN: I have fresh garlic, but got lazy and used the jarred stuff.....which is just as good. I used a heaping tablespoon, but we love garlic! I served this over angel hair pasta.

*I did NOT figure up the P+ value for this recipe because it would depend upon how much pasta and how many pieces of shrimp you'd eat.

Enjoy!

Loving Life!
