SHRIMP SCAMPI - LOW FAT

Shrimp Scampi - Low Fat image

This is verbatim from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I prefer using multiple color onions to give it a little flair, serving it over pasta, and with a green vegetable. Scampi is a term often used in restaurants to describe a dish made with large shrimp that are prepared with garlic, oil or butter, then broiled in a shallow ramekin. This easy version is cooked in a skillet.

Devein and peel the shrimp before cooking to save time.
Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the shrimp to prevent overcrowding.
Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery.
Use a flavorful white wine for the sauce, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
Add a variety of vegetables to the sauce, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
