Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Unsalted vegetable broth
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 stalks Green onions (sliced thinly)
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice or whole-grain pasta (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with a paper towel, ensuring they are fully thawed (if previously frozen).

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the shrimp in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate any brown bits. Bring the broth to a low simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are warmed through.

Step 9

Serve the Low Fat Shrimp Diane immediately over cooked brown rice or whole-grain pasta for a heartier dish, or simply on its own for a light, low-fat meal.
