Shrimp Scampi

I made this for the first time tonight. DH rated it a 9.5 on a 10 point scale. I agree! It so easy, so fast, and so yummy!!

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1/2 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry white wine
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1/2 cup Asiago cheese, diced (I used fresh grated Parmesan because the Asiago cheese at the store was not labeled as pasturized.)
1 large avocado - peeled, pitted and diced

Directions:


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the angel hair pasta, and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and white wine. Once the mixture begins to bubble, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir in the shrimp. Cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink, and are no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.

Serve the scampi over a bed of angel hair pasta, and sprinkle with Asiago cheese and avocado to serve.

Shrimp Corn Chowder

This is my fave comfort lowfat soup. This is a meal in itself...served with some crackers or some good sourdough bread. YUM! You can also cook this in a crock pot.

1 cup of shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 soup cans 1% lowfat milk
2 cups frozen shrimp, cleaned, thawed
1 can corn (undrained)
Preparation:
In large saucepan, melt butter, then add green onions, garlic and pepper; saute until tender. Mix in cream cheese, cheese, soup and milk. Stir until cream cheese is melted. Add shrimp and bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve hot.
