Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi Recipe

This Shrimp Scampi is good by itself or serve it with Grilled Broccoli or Grilled Green Beans for extra veggies!  I have found that if I eat extra veggies it really can bulk up a meal and make me feel more full. This has really helped me eat healthier. Plus, the veggies just taste better when they are grilled!

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil)
• 1 lb shrimp (not frozen, needs to be thawed)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or you can use water)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 8 oz angel hair pasta

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large pot of boiling water cook angel hair (or spaghetti) pasta according to directions.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
3. Add shrimp, salt and pepper, garlic salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the shrimp turns pink. About 2-4 minutes.
4. Stir in lemon juice and chicken broth (you can use water). Bring to a simmer.
5. Stir in fresh parsley and parmesan cheese.
6. Toss with angel hair pasta and garnish with more parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately.
