creamy garlic shrimp with parmesan (low carb)

easy

After publishing this Surf & Turf recipe yesterday, you guys have been requesting we post this shrimp recipe separately for easier printing and storing. Well, here it is!

Adapted from our popular Creamy Garlic Scallops recipe, this mouthwatering creamy shrimp goes with absolutely anything.

I choose a white wine to go with this. A light Chardonnay or Pinot Gris pairs really well. For a sweeter wine, choose a Riesling or a Sparkling Moscato.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound (500 grams) shrimp, tails on or off
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine* or chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups reduced fat cream**
• 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until just cooked through and pink. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
2. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the white wine or broth; allow to reduce to half while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.

Easy Grape Salad

Easy Grape Salad

easy

If you’re tired of bringing the same old pasta salad or potato salad to every potluck you go to, change it up with this Easy Grape Salad. People will quickly become converts. There is nothing not to love about this easy dessert salad that’s so sweet and satisfying.

The grapes (I use both red and green) get coated in a creamy mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. I also like to add some toffee bits for added sweetness and extra crunch. You could chop up a few Heath bars instead for the same effect.

A mixture of brown sugar and chopped pecans gets added on top. It’s as easy as that!

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pounds green seedless grapes, washed and dried well
• 2 pounds red seedless grapes, washed and dried well
• 1/2 cup toffee bits, or 2 Heath bars, crushed
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Use and electric hand mixer to beat until creamy and smooth.
2. Add grapes and toffee bits and gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
