Shrimp Scampi

July 13, 2019 By Lisa

Shrimp Scampi I LisaGCooks.com

Shrimp Scampi This is my rendition of the classic Italian dish.  This comes together in minutes and easily impresses.  Don’t skip the butter at the end in the interest in saving calories because at 40 calories (or 10 calories per person) you can’t beat the richness and flavour it adds.   ...

Weeknight Paella This is a loose interpretation of what a Paella really is but this is delicious, easy, healthy and best of all? Quick! This is a great dish to prepare after a long hard day at work, especially when you don’t want to face take out.

Asian Style Broccoli

Italian Tomato Salad
