HEALTHY SHEET PAN SHRIMP AND GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse the kale and shake off some of the water. Toss together the kale, garlic, peppers, 3 tablespoons of the oil, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Pile the mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, covered with a sheet of parchment paper, until the kale is wilted and tender and the peppers are soft, about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coat the shrimp with the curry paste, the juice of 1 lime half and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• When the kale mixture is ready, remove the parchment from the top and toss it with a spatula. Top with an even layer of shrimp and roast until the shrimp are firm and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Scatter the basil, cilantro, mint and cashews over top and squeeze with the remaining lime half. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice and lime wedges.

SHRIMP, WHITE BEAN AND KALE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges are browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the white beans, chicken broth, 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Put the baguette pieces cut-side up on a baking sheet and broil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the simmering stew, cover and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes. Season the stew with salt, if needed. Discard the bay leaves, then divide the stew among bowls. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve with the bread.

SHRIMP-SALAD PITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Soak the chopped onion in a bowl of cold water while you prepare the shrimp.
• Toss the shrimp with the olive oil, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in an even layer and broil until the shrimp are opaque, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Wash and dry the baking sheet.
• Drain the onion and add to the shrimp along with the yogurt, carrot, cucumber, dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Grate in 1 teaspoon lemon zest and squeeze in about half of the lemon juice.
• Lay the pitas on the baking sheet and toast under the broiler. Cut the pitas in half and fill with the lettuce and shrimp salad.

SHRIMP SHEET PAN PITA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wrap the pita bread in foil and set aside.
• Add the asparagus, mushrooms, squash and onion to a sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Move to one side of the pan.
• Toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil and Italian seasoning blend and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add to the other side of the pan.
• Put the foil-wrapped pita in the oven with the sheet pan. Bake, tossing the shrimp and vegetables halfway through, until the shrimp are just cooked and the vegetables are lightly roasted and starting to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Squeeze over the juice of one of the lemons.
• Mix together the yogurt, dill, lemon zest and the juice of the second lemon in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out the sheet pan with the shrimp and vegetables alongside a plate with the sliced tomatoes and lettuce, warm pita halves and yogurt mixture. Put the olives and feta into separate bowls and have everyone fill their own pita with the different elements. Garnish with additional dill.

GREEK-STYLE SHRIMP PASTA WITH KALE

Steps:

• Pour tomatoes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Shake to release as much juice as possible, then let tomatoes drain in sieve, collecting juices in bowl, until ready to use.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over high. Add drained tomatoes and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 12 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add collected tomato juices, oregano, red pepper, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 3 minutes less than package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Working in batches, add kale to tomato sauce, stirring after each addition, until all kale is wilted. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer pasta to pot with sauce. Add shrimp, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally and adding pasta cooking liquid if needed to loosen sauce, until pasta is al dente, shrimp are cooked through, and everything is nicely coated in sauce, about 3 minutes.
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with feta and drizzle with oil.

SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP, KALE AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and the kale. Boil 2 to 3 minutes, until tender, then using a Chinese skimmer, a strainer or a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of cold water (do not drain water in the pot; you'll use it for the pasta). Drain kale and a handful at a time, squeeze out excess water. Chop medium fine and set aside.
• (You can do this step while you are waiting for the water to come to a boil for the kale). Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet or a wide saucepan and add shrimp. Do not stir for a minute, then turn shrimp and toss in the pan until seared on the edges, pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Turn heat down to medium and add garlic and hot pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds (the pan will be quite hot), and stir in tomatoes with liquid, sugar, salt and oregano or thyme. Turn heat up to medium-high and stir often as tomatoes come to a brisk boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and taste very fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp or keep separate, remove from the heat and keep warm. If sauce seems dry you can add some cooking water from the pasta.
• Bring water in pot back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook al dente, following timing instructions on the package but checking for doneness a minute before the indicated time. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pasta, in case you want to moisten the sauce more, drain pasta and toss with tomato and kale mixture. Add water from the pasta only if you think the mixture seems dry. Serve the pasta and top each serving with 3 shrimp if you haven't tossed the shrimp with the sauce. Pass crumbled feta or grated Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.
