WHEN DINING OUT IS JUST TOO EXPENSIVE!!

Mediterranean Wild Shrimp
with
Steamed Broccolini
I have been listening to all of your requests. Easier recipes, quick meals and not too expensive to prepare. So far, we are on the right track and wait to you hear this!! "Mediterranean Wild Shrimp" that calculates out to less than $3.00 per serving with only 15 minutes in the kitchen.
This dish is a hit, either hot or cold and there are so many great ways to share your twist.

8-10 Wild Shrimp, raw, peeled and deveined ( I used a smaller shrimp 40-60 per pound)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 Cup White Beans, cooked
1/4 Cup Onions, medium diced
1/4 Cup Tomatoes, fresh, medium diced
1/4 Cup Kalamata Olives, pitted and sliced
2 Tablespoons White Wine
1 Tablespoon Parsley, fresh, chopped
1/4 Teaspoon "Spike" original seasoning
1/8 Teaspoon Crushed Red Chili Flakes
1/2 Cup Broccolini, lightly steamed.

In a medium sauté pan on high heat with olive oil, sear the shrimp very quickly for 1 minute on each side. Add your onions until they become translucent and continue adding the chopped garlic, white beans and Kalamata olives. Deglaze with inexpensive white wine. Reduce the heat, and add the tomatoes, parsley, "Spike" seasoning and crushed red chili flakes.

Serve warm with steamed Broccolini or your favorite green vegetable. Get creative and add a hint of fresh squeezed lemon juice. It brings out a burst of color and the flavors go great!!
