Weight Watchers Sautéed Shrimp and Zucchini

February 18, 2011 By denise 2 Comments

I love seafood but it’s not something I want to eat all the time. I’m not sure why as it is so easy and quick to cook. You also don’t need a lot ingredients to achieve a good flavor.

When I saw this on Weight Watchers I knew I wanted to give it a try. Anything I can pair with zucchini is a must-try in my book. And this recipe called for so few recipes that I knew I would love it. When it came time to make the dish, I didn’t have any tomatoes on hand. The only thing I had was my staple canned Rotel tomatoes. I was, as is my standard, a little heavy with the pepper — with that and the Rotel it was very spicy. It worked out great though and even got a second helping from my mother.


Sautéed Shrimp and Zucchini (recipe adapted from Weight Watchers)

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin, divided
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 pound(s) shrimp, large-size, peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 c Rotel tomatoes

Instructions:

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini in a single layer; increase heat to high and cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Flip zucchini and cook until golden on other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove zucchini to a plate with a slotted spoon. Heat remaining teaspoon oil in same skillet. Add shrimp; sauté 1 to 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper; sauté until shrimp are cooked through and tomatoes are softened, about 3-5 minutes. Return zucchini to skillet; toss and serve. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

    This looks delicious! Way back when, I was eating extremely low carb and oneo f my favorite things to eat was zucchini prepared the way you have it now...minus the shrimp and tomatoes...but with the addition of freshly grated parmesan cheese. We absolutely loved the way the zucchni and the cheese got so brown and yummy and the oregano was a the perfect flavor to accompany this dish. I haven't thought about that in years so I thank you for the reminder. I love the addition of the shrimp and tomatoes. So fresh and yummy! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us! Have a great weekend, Candace
