SHRIMP DIANE
This is indescribably good.....a great recipe for a special occasion for 2 people. If you plan on making this for more than two people, do it in separate batches. I serve this over rice and also have french bread to mop up the delicious sauce. Recipe is from Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen.

LISA'S LOW FAT SHRIMP DIANE
I love the classic shrimp diane recipe - except for all of the fat and calories. This recipe doesn't taste exactly like the original, but considering the differences in nutritional value, I'd say it's a pretty darn good substitute! This recipe is also surprisingly quick and easy - preparing the rice is what takes most of the cooking time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
