Pritikin Shrimp in White Wine Sauce
The healthiest animal food choices are omega-3-rich fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and trout, advises the Pritikin Eating Plan. Most other fish, plus shelled mollusks like clams and scallops, are healthy choices, too. The award-winning chefs at Pritikin are masters at showing people how delicious healthy eating can be, and this Shrimp in White Wine Sauce, is always a hit in the dining room at the Pritikin Longevity Center. Succulent shrimp and tomato with absolutely no butter! What you’re seeing is a lovely sauce of white wine, garlic, and shallots. So simple to make (you’ll learn how if you’re a guest), and “clean eating.”

good, a bit bland
Good.
It’s pretty easy to ruin this dish, and I should know. This dish is good IF you have a good non stick skillet and IF you don’t cook on too high a heat and IF you make sure get juicy tomatoes. There is no butter and you know it (i miss you), that’s for sure, but you need the juice of the tomato and the wine to make the sauce and don’t cook it too high or all the liquid cooks away and it’s too tough and brown. low and slow saves the day. learned that on my third time around, so i’m a pro.
