Need a quick, low-carb entrée for a busy weeknight? Try this Garlic and Tomato Roasted Shrimp. If you want to make it really special, use scallops instead of shrimp.
I’m really liking this “Eat Without Shopping” concept. (I’ve been trying to cook only with items in my pantry and freezer.) I think I’m going to have to break down and go to the store for things like milk and yogurt today. But thanks to some shrimp in my freezer and parsley in a pot on my deck, I did make this roasted shrimp before shopping.
This dish was good, but it could have used more flavor and a bit of heat. I think I’ll throw in some minced jalapeño peppers next time. I made it with shrimp rather than scallops.
Don’t overcook the shrimp or scallops or they will be rubbery!
