I buy a bag of raw shrimp at Costco when I make The Hubby Chef Seafood Stew and I had half of the bag left over in the freezer when I remembered….shrimp is practically free for people on weight watchers.
I put a sweet potato in the microwave and starting throwing stuff in the pan. Both were done about the same time. Severed it on top of half a sweet potato and man, was this good!
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- pinch of dried thyme leaves
- pinch of dried oregano leaves
- pinch of paprika
- 1 tbsp shallot, chopped
- 1/2 pound of sliced white or brown mushrooms
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 lb raw shrimp
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
- 1/2 cup vermouth (use white wine if you don’t have vermouth. This is not an option. The dish needs one or the other.)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Juice of one lemon
Heat the oil and sauté the first 6 ingredients. When you have a good browning of the mushrooms, garlic and shallot, add half of the vermouth and toss. Now add the tomato paste and raw shrimp. When the liquid begins to thicken and/or evaporate, add the rest of the vermouth and the chicken broth. Simmer and toss for 5-6 minutes until the shrimp take on a nice pink hue. Squeeze with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
The dish is 1 WW Freestyle point for 16 shrimp and a good amount of sauce. Goes great with a plain sweet potato (my wife’s half of the potato was 4 points). I don’t count points myself but I had the other half of this tonight and I’d say this was a helluva way to eat 5 points!
