Mediterranean Shrimp
I love the light and fresh flavors of the Mediterranean diet. And the fact that it is such a heart healthy lifestyle is an added bonus.
Last week, I decided to try this Mediterranean Shrimp recipe from wellplated.com last week and it was delicious! It is a simple, one pan dish that can be ready in 30min or less. The roasted tomatoes, feta, olives and artichoke hearts give this dish blast of flavor.
I tweaked the recipe a bit by adding kale for extra nutrients, replacing the red wine vinegar with white balsamic vinegar, eliminating the red pepper flakes and adding dried basil.
I hope you and your family love this delicious and healthy Mediterranean dish as much as Ido!
This Mediterranean shrimp dish is packed with flavors and nutrients.
Kale is a nutrient powerhouse giving this recipe a boost of vitamin A, vitamin K, folate and omega-3 fatty acids.
The fire roasted tomatoes add a blast of flavor to the dish.
Artichoke hearts and olives give the dish a slightly salty flavor.
Serve Mediterranean Shrimp over brown rice, quinoa, or with a slice of healthy whole wheat bread.
