Broiled Shrimp Scampi

This is a great way to cook with less oil. A broiler heats from the top, so you need very little oil to prevent food from sticking to the cooking surface.

    It is a really good healthy version. Use capors instead of salt and I agree a little white wine or white vermouth in the bottom of the grilling pan works well.

    Oregano, fresh or dried, is also key ingredient along with a little wine. However this version looks light and healthy.

    Righto, white wine is a very important ingrediant. I thought you always had the best recipes. Where did you get this recipe?

    Where's the wine in this recipe? I thought Scampi always had white wine in the sauce which made it so delicious.

    Calorie counts etc is a MUST for us that are looking to eat healthy and get some weight off. For anyone that is interested you can go to sparkpeople.com ( a free weight loss site) and they have a calorie calculator...

    You need to put the calories, fat, etc. on these recipes. Otherwise I have to figure them all out and I do not have the time to do so. Thank you.
