Low Calorie Easy Shrimp Scampi

Most shrimp scampi recipes use loads of butter, this one uses only a little butter and olive oil. The dish feels fancy but really it's easy and healthy (but don't tell anyone!).

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb. linguine
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced fine
  • 1 lb. large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • dash salt
  • 2 Tbsp grated, fresh Parmesan

Preparation:

 

1. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.
While the pasta cooks, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook 3 minutes. Add the shrimp, parsley, lemon juice, and salt, and cook until the shrimp are pink and curled.
3. Toss the pasta together with the shrimp and the Parmesan, and serve.
