Diabetic Shrimp Scampi
"This is a wonderful Shrimp Scampi that I learnt from an Italian cook who introduced me in making Diabetic foods. My father is very ill with Diabetis and loves his foods (of course) This recipe as a "hit" with Dad. A tasty blend of Shrimp and Garlic."

I am wanting to make this dish for a diabetic who will have to reheat this recipe when she dines. How do you suggest RE-HEATING this for a person when you drop it off for them...to be eaten at least two hours later?

This was selected for the Photo Forum *LOW IN OR FREE OF* event. It is a very quick and delicious meal. I did use left over shrimp and added it just to warm. There is no way that the recipe would serve 4 in my house. The full recipe made 2 nice servings of 7 medium shrimp each. -
I really enjoyed this and it was very easy to make, especially since it was low fat. I do agree with another poster that this would not serve four. Also, I added extra garlic and served this over pasta so I had to double the sauce, because the original amount wasn't enough to put over noodles. Thanks for the great recipe! -
I think adding some extra veggies-red, yellow, and orange bell peppers helps to set this meal over the top. -
Quick and easy. Hubby loved it. I also steamed some broccoli in the microwave to have on the side and put some italian seasoning and lemon in with the water while it cooked. -
This is a KEEPER! Thank you so much for sharing. It makes life easier for my Dad who feels he can't eat anything good anymore!

I added a little Nature's Seasoning. Next time I would do a little less lemon juice. Be sure to use real garlic! I used minced garlic and it made the grease mixture splash every where. I put the mixture over whole wheat noodles. Overall yummy ?? -

Only enough for 2 people. Could cut the fat by using a low fat margerine instead of butter but the olive oil is a must. Some old bay adds a little extra flavor also. Other than that it is a great recipe.
