LIGHTER SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• Set broiler rack 4 inches from heat.
• Place shrimp in a large broiler proof rimmed baking sheet. (I use a 9x13 glass baking dish.)
• Sprinkle with oil and garlic and season generously with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss to coat. Arrange shrimp in a single layer.
• Broil 3-4 minutes, until opaque throughout. Sprinkle with lemon juice, toss to combine. Serve immediately.

LIGHTER BAKED SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place shrimp in a shallow baking dish.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and olive oil and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over shrimp and sprinkle with crushed croutons.
• Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 9 to 11 minutes; do not overcook.
• While shrimp is cooking, place riced cauliflower in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
• Serve shrimp over riced cauliflower. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
