Creamy Caper & Shrimp Pasta

I make most of my recipes low salt.  You can add as much or as little salt as you desire. You can also omit the cheese in this recipe if you choose to cook low salt.  This meal is easy, but tastes and looks like its restaurant worthy! Enjoy! -Trudy 

1 lb jumbo shrimp

1/4 stick unsalted butter

1 small carton heavy cream

2 T parmesan cheese

1 T canola oil

1 T capers, drained

sea salt/pepper

1/4 t cayenne pepper

1 T "no salt" tomato sauce

1/4 t garlic powder

1/2 t onion powder

Pasta of your choice (I use linguini or fettucini)

Sautee' shrimp in a pan with the oil and butter for 3 min.  Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 10-12 min without boiling.  This will thicken and get creamy.  Serve over cooked pasta.

Low Calorie "Flat-Out" Supreme Pizza

This is one of my favorite things to make for lunch!

1 Flat-Out (I use the original flavor)

1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella

sliced bell pepper (use as much or as little as you want!)

5 turkey pepperonis

2 tbsp pizza sauce

cracked black pepper to taste

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. 

This one is pretty self explanatory!

Top your pizza with the ingredients above.

If you like olives- you could add a few sliced olives too!

Your pizza will only need to bake for 5 mins.

Once it is done I like to turn off the oven and leave it in there another 3 minutes or so to make sure the crust has a little time to get crispy!

 Top with a little cracked black pepper and enjoy!

Low Calorie, Low Sodium Shrimp Stir-Fry

This recipe leaves a lot of room for customizing, so if you are not a fan of a certain veggie- leave it out or add some of YOUR favorites! 

1/2 a zuchini

1 small squash

1 handful of cut broccoli

1 handful of cut cauliflower 

(I like to use the pre-cut bagged broccoli and cauliflower mix found in the produce section.)

1 handful of carrot "chips"

1 cup of low sodium soy

1/2 lb of peeled shrimp

 1 tbsp of olive oil

pepper/garlic/onion powder

Use a large deep pan on medium heat.

Toss in all of your veggies and pour in your soy.

Cover.

Keep your eye on them and make sure to stir when needed.

Cook until everything is tender but not mushy!

About 10-12mins.

In a separate pan pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and toss in your shrimp. 

These will only need to be sauteed for about 3-4 mins.

Once everything is cooked-

pour your shrimp into the large pan with the veggies.

Season to taste with pepper, garlic and onion powder.

 Add salt sparingly.

Enjoy!
