    Sunday Supper Movement

     

    Well, I have some news. Beginning in the new year, I'm going to be focusing a lot more on healthy recipes. My 46 year old husband had a heart attack on Saturday, and within an hour was having two stents inserted. The cardiologist is saying there is no damage to his heart, and no restrictions, except to watch his diet and lose weight. Yes, I still love bacon, and eggs, and cheese, and always will. I'm still underweight (and probably always will be), and so is my daughter. But, I do need to eat a lot healthier, too, so it's going to be a change for the whole family.

    Before this happened, I made my favorite Shrimp Scampi recipe. Actually, it was so good I made it twice in two weeks! I got the idea for this a few years ago after a holiday dinner at my house. We always serve cocktail shrimp for an appetizer, and one year we had a lot leftover, so I made shrimp scampi out of it. The trick is not overcooking the shrimp, since they are already cooked when you buy them. Just a minute in the pan of sauteed garlic and onion until they are heated through is all you need! Since it cooks so fast, it is perfect for #WeekdaySupper!

    If you are already watching your cholesterol or weight, you can substitute the butter for margarine (I prefer Smart Balance when I use margarine now), use low-carb linguine, and low-sodium chicken broth in place of the wine.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound 71/90 count shrimp ,tails removed (TIP: tails are easier to remove if shrimp is still partially frozen, finish thawing after removing tails)
    • 1 stick good quality butter
    • 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
    • 8 ounces whole grain linguine
    • 8 cloves garlic ,minced
    • ¼ cup finely diced onion
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    • juice of one lemon
    • fresh ground black pepper ,to taste

    Instructions

    • Cook the linguine for the lowest time indicated on the package directions, drain, and return to the pot, stirring in a few drops of olive oil to keep it from sticking. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Saute the onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Pour in the wine or chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir in the parsley and pepper, bring to a simmer. Stir in shrimp and linguine and cook until the shrimp is hot, about 1 minute.

      just wondering if there is a typo. 1 stick of butter for 4 servings is not 2 g fat/serving. Did you mean 30 or less butter? Thanks. I plan to try the recipe tonight.

        Hi Michael, I'm pretty sure I used regular butter in this recipe. I just checked the calculated nutrition, and you are right, it isn't correct. The calculator is included with my recipe card and I usually try to double check it for accuracy, but I clearly missed this one.

      I had some leftover shrimp cocktail after super bowl Sunday. I did 1/2 white wine and 1/2 chicken broth, 1/2 the garlic and 1/2 the lemon juice. Everything else exactly as recipe called for. Topped with Parmesan cheese. Really good and will definitely make again.

        I'm glad you liked it. Shrimp Scampi is always popular the day after the big food days.
