Shrimp Scampi
 

Hey guys, I know I haven't been on in about a week or so. Haven't been doing that great at staying POP. But since yesterday I have been doing FF and so far lost 2.2 of the 3 lbs I had gained...ugh. Todya is last day of FF, and I can't wait to eat regular foods. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of a Shrimp Scampi recipe on plan?I am dying to have some shrimp today and just wondering if I can get some good ol Scampi. Let me know! Thanks! :D

Nisha - It's not scampi exactly, but look at the recipe I posted for broiled seafood w/lemon butter. So yummy w/shrimp. I did it last week.

Make it with garlic instead of lemon. That should do it . . .

Actually, you use 1T lemon juice and 1T light butter and then tons of garlic powder so the more garlic powder you use, the more "scampi"-like it is.

JM - Is there usually some lemon in scampi? I guess you could even cut the lemon down a little more, but I noticed that the lemon juice and butter melt together to form this saucy/juicy thing... oh, man, I need to go get a snack now.

Cool thanks guys! :)

You know-I didn't go up and check the recipe. I'm not sure if there is lemon is scampi-maybe. If I was going to do it I would saute real minced garlic with the lite butter or in ICBNB spray and then toss in the shrimp til it was hot-salt and pepper . . . and then serve it over shiritaki noodles maybe . . .

That sounds good too!

Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry - that was me fighting with my inner fat girl! All of it sounds delish!

No worries Kim, it is allllllll good for ya...eat up. I am on FF again and I was trying to think of some ways to get me some protein in....where, guess I will go home and get to shrimpin' it...lol.

When I make dh shrimp scampi I make myself just shrimp with a little nusalt & pepper cooked in pam. Then I cook broccoli like I normally do, just boiling for a few min.. then I just add the broccoli to the shrimp and when I put it on my plate I drizzle 1TB lite soy sauce over all of it and It is sooo yummy. I am drooling thinking of that. I eat broccoli almost everynight but not like that :P

my scampi recipe has white wine in it.........makes it delish!!!!!! I am sure you could LAWL it up :)

I'm sure a tablespoon of white wine would just be a condiment and it would taste yummy!

Tried the scampi, and it was FANTABULOUS...wooooooooo hooooo!!!!

I am going to start TO on Wednesday, so I will definitely be trying this delish (as Rachael Ray would say) recipe! It will make TO a little more bearable!!

I made Cassi's broiled lemon butter seafood with orange roughy last night. *sigh* It was SOOOO good. I bought lots of shrimp, tilapia, and scallops at Sam's Club this weekend, so I'll be doing that with all of those as well, PLUS the scampi! Mmmm....I'll turn my family into seafood lovers eventually!
