This simple dish makes a super-healthy snack or serve it up as an hors d’oeuvre. As an alternative, prepare with medium scallops, or mix it up and serve a little of both.
Ingredients:
- 16 snow peas
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 16 medium shrimp, peeled, de-veined, tail left on
Directions:
- Steam or microwave snow peas until barely tendercrisp. Rinse with cold water. Drain and set aside.
- In nonstick skillet, heat oil, sauté garlic, parsley and shrimp just until shrimp turns pink, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Wrap each snow pea around shrimp, fasten with toothpick. Serve warm or cold.
Tips:
- Buy snow peas that are firm and crisp and have no blemishes.
- Medium-sized scallops would also be delicious for this very sophisticated hors d’oeuvre.
- If serving cold, prepare and refrigerate early in day.
