This Speedy Shrimp Scampi is a great company dish (or a nice the-kids-are-in-bed-date-night-at-home-supper). 🙂
Low carbing requires a lot of ‘from scratch’ cooking and so when I can find a few shortcuts, I take them. This recipe comes together quickly using pre-cooked shrimp and canned tomatoes. It can be on the table in just under 30 minutes.
This dish provides a contrast of flavors with a tomato-onion-garlic base against the mildness of the shrimp. It weighs in with just under 6 net carbs per serving and 267 calories. It also provides a very nice 30 grams of protein.
Although it is low in calories, it satisfied my husband and I in both flavor and portion size. Overall we both thought it was reminiscent of something that might be on the menu in a nice Italian restaurant. Enjoy! – Laura
