Recipe: Dijon Shrimp

[ 4 ] 01/15/2012 | Mel

Recipes I’m a huge fan of seafood, especially shrimp. It’s one of my favorite types of seafood to cook at home because it’s quick, easy, and is a great fit with my Weight Watchers food plan.

I recently came across this recipe for Dijon Shrimp. Unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly where I found it, but it’s quickly become a favorite of mine. It’s so quick to prepare that it’s become one of my mid-week staple recipes since I’m generally crunched for time during the week when it comes to cooking.

Anything with butter and shrimp has got to be good! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE dijon mustard! I can’t wait to get some fresh shrimp and try this!

The original recipe called for light butter/margarine, but I’ve pretty much gotten to the point that I’d rather use the real stuff. It didn’t really make that big of a difference PointsPlus or calorie-wise, so I just went with it. :) If you do go with the light option, it lowers the PointsPlus value by 1. As for the mustard, I made mine with the Grey Poupon White Wine dijon. Heavenly!
