SAMPLE RECIPE: Shrimp Scampi SERVES: 4 | PREP TIME: 10 minutes | COOK TIME: 5 to 10 minutes Shrimp scampi is a staple at seafood restaurants because the flavors are familiar and delicious. But most restaurants go heavy on the pasta and light on the shrimp. This low-carb version shows you just how easy it is to capture all of those delicious flavors while kicking carbs to the curb. Instead of a heaping bowl of pasta, serve it atop a bowl of Cauliflower Rice (page 29). INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot, then pour in the oil, and melt the butter. Tilt to coat the bottom. 2. Add the garlic and shallots, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften. 3. Add the wine, and cook for about 2 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol. 4. Add the shrimp, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring and flipping to cook on all sides, or until just cooked through. 5. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the lemon juice, and garnish with the parsley.
