Garlic Shrimp and Pasta (Low fat recipe)

“I got this recipe a few years ago off of another site and I just love it. I make by own chicken both from a chicken bouilloncube which I add the lemon juice (I only add about 1 tsp.) and cornstarch to and set aside. I brown my garlic in a little olive oil then throw in the shrimp. When this is heated up I add the chicken stock. Cook until thicken then I add only a small dash of red pepper powder, a dash of Kitchen Bouquet Browning Sauce and so so soy sauce. Add salt & pepper to taste. And finally I stir in the broken up cooked spaghetti. Heat and eat.”

“Very good and easy.Added a little white wine to the sauce.”

“I had a friend of mine, who is a vegetarian, over for lunch today. Made a few modifications to the recipe as a result. Instead of regular pasta I used whole wheat and instead of chicken broth I used vegetable broth. As a result I did have to add a bit of salt to taste as the vegeatble broth doesn’t have the sodium you find in the chicken broth so without it, it was a bit bland. Aside from that I also sauteed the garlic a bit before adding the additional ingredients to get the full flavor and added a little garlic powder. One more change was instead of cornstarch I used flour, that was just what I had in my cabinets. Otherwise I followed the recipe pretty close. It was YUMMY! I WILL definitely be making this again.”

“Thankyou so much for posting. Made this for dinner, and it was EXCELLENT. Finally a low fat scampie sauce for one of my favorite meals. Hubby even loved it, and he hates chicken, and chicken broth.”

“Great and the family loved it!Will add more garlic and pepper next time… maybe a tad more salt too.”

“I used this as a basic recipe, but changed a few things. I sauteed the garlic a bit before making the sauce. I made my own stock from bouillon, doubled the garlic, used less cornstarch, and a few squirts of lemon juice (didn’t measure). Mine actually had quite a spicy kick to it, with just enough lemon zing. My husband loved this very light dish. I hope I can make it the same again since I didn’t follow the recipe exactly! Thanks for sharing!”

“This was really great.Unfortunately I added more garlic than the recipe called for and it was to much. I will definitely make this again with less garlic.”

“This dish was excellant!!! Id say almost restaurant quality! Much better because I added more shrimp then what you would get in a resaurant. Next time I make it, I think I will saute the garlic & I added 4 large cloves, in a little olive oil before I add the rest of the ingredients. I loved this dish!For such a simple recipe it was great!”

“Char, we loved this! I don’t eat shrimp often but when I do I try and make it special. I followed the instructions as written except I used chicken broth with added garlic plus the garlic that the recipe called for. We love garlic! Thanks so much for posting this simple, delicious dish!”

“I forgot the lemon juice but added a bit of cayane pepper.This was sooo good, I thought it would be bland and didn’t know if it would thicken.I will definately make again!Thank You :)”

“This was delicious!!! I also basically doubled the garlic, and the result was very tasty. Thank you!”

“Good recipe.Hubby and I both enjoed it.As pervious reviewers stated, I also added much more garlic, and pepper, and little more lemon juice.It was good. Thanks for the recipe.”

“Very simple & very good.I used a few of the hints from some of the other reviews to match it up to my own personal taste’s. I added extra lemon juice, a couple dash’s of essence & Old Bay seaonings and also threw in about 3/4 lbs. of small sweet bay scallops.There were no leftovers with this one. “Thank You”, for sharing this winning receipe with us.Pickleguy”

“This came out very well.I also added more garlic– basically doubled it.”

“In terms of a low fat recipe, this is great! Obviously if you compare it with a nice rich cream sauce it doesn’t stand up, but that isn’t the point. After being put on a low fat diet due to gallstones, I’ve been looking for easy low fat recipes. This one fit my needs to a T! After reading comments here, I added an additional tablespoon of lemon juice and of garlic. Overall, it wasn’t too bad. Without the shrimp it probably would have been too bland.”

“My son requested this for his 16th birthday.We loved it!!Served with a spinach salad, and ciabatta bread, and of course a DQ blizzard cake to end the meal.Thanks for sharing a great recipe.EASY”

“This was a very good light meal.I added some veggies and scallops and I used rotini protein pasta.Easy to prepare.Thanks for sharing.”

“Pretty tasteless. A fairly pointless meal. Only positive here is that its ‘healthy’ and low fat, though the sodium is crazy high. I substituted low sodium chicken broth and added a smidgen of salt, but the only other interesting note was the sauce had a nice luxurious thickness to it from thecorn starch.>br/br/br/br/

“I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that this recipe needs more flavor. It wasn’t horrible but I won’t be making it again either. Sorry I couldn’t give it more stars but it was just barely ok.”

“Wasn’t bad, but was lacking in real flavor, I added 6 cloves of garlic and didn’t seem to have much of an impact.I wouldn’t make it again, but it wasn’t horrible.”
