SHRIMP DIANE

Steps:

• In a large skillet melt 1 stick of the butter over high heat; when almost melted, add the green onions, salt, garlic, the ground peppers, basil, thyme and oregano; stir well.
• Add the shrimp and saute just until they turn pink, about 1 minute, shaking the pan (versus stirring) in a back-and-forth motion.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/4 cup of the stock; then add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in chunks and continue cooking, continuing to shake the pan.
• Before the butter chunks are completely melted, add the parsley, then the remaining 2 tablespoons stock; continue cooking and shaking the pan until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly and butter sauce is the consistency of cream.
• Serve immediately in a bowl with lots of French bread on the side, or serve over pasta or rice.

SHRIMP DIVINE!

Steps:

• Add package of the Good Seasons, oil, water, and Equal/Splenda or sugar. Shake well.
• Use a large griddle (top of stove) to prepare. Heat pan and add the entire bottle of prepared dressing.
• Chop all the zucchini and squash in nice 1/8"-1/3" pieces and place all on your griddle. Cook for about 20 minutes (medium to high heat - avoid allowing sauce to get too hot or it will scorch and become sticky).
• Once vegetables are nice and soft (but not mushy) add your shrimp. Sprinkle all with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp have browned up just a bit! Remove from heat.
• Cook pasta during the last 10 minutes of preparing shrimp and squash on griddle. Drain pasta and pour onto serving platter. Top with (heated in microwave) spaghetti sauce (you'll just want a nice blush of color - not heavy with sauce). Now top all with your shrimp and vegetables. Top all with grated parmesan cheese. Delicious!!!
