Love Shrimp? Trying to keep it healthy? Watching your carbs? Don’t have much time to get an elegant meal on the table? Here is a wonderful shrimp dinner you can have prepared and cooked all within an hour. This dish has no cream and no butter. Full of vegetables and lots of seasoning. Serve this dish over spaghetti squash or brown rice. I think you know what I choose…

Ingredients you will need:

  • 2 pounds of medium or jumbo peeled shrimp
  • 3 stalks of celery diced
  • 1 large Vidalia sweet onion sliced into half rings
  • 1 pound of shiitake mushrooms (large ones sliced in half)
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper
  • 8 cloves of minced fresh garlic
  • 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth
  • half cup of sherry
  • Teaspoon of Dill
  • Tablespoon of Seafood Seasoning from Frontier
  • Hand full of Fresh Basil
  • Hand full of fresh Flat leaf Parsley
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon of Herb Fest Seasoning by Frontier

Let’s get Cooking!

  • Using a large cast iron skillet like the one I have featured here made by Le Creuset, drizzle a bit of olive oil at the bottom of the pan and on medium to high heat, add in all of your celery and onions. Season well with salt, pepper and some of your Herb Fest seasoning. Add in your Red Bell Peppers after about 15 minutes. Cook down till your onions become a caramel color. This will take close to 20 minutes.
  • Add in your low sodium chicken broth and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of your pot.
  • Add in your mushrooms
  • Add in your Sherry
  • Keep stirring till all of your mushrooms are no longer raw.
  • Add in your minced garlic
  • Add in all of your peeled shrimp, stirring in well with all of your veggies. The shrimp should all be cooked in about 7 minutes.
  • Add in all of your seafood seasoning, Dill, fresh parsley, fresh Basil, a bit more salt, pepper and a bit more of the seafood seasoning.
  • If you like it spicy, add a few dashes of Tabasco!
  • Cover and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes on low.

Serve this dish over steamed brown rice or spaghetti squash. To view how to cook a spaghetti squash refer to this recipe at my blog. Remember… spaghetti squash has very little calories, which means you can fill up your dinner bowl with lots of spaghetti squash and then pour your shrimp and veggies without any guilt!
