Lemon-Garlic Shrimp & Vegetables image

From the Cookbook Eating Well 500 Calorie Dinners. A refreshingly healthy twist to "Shrimp Scampi." My family loved this dish served with Quinoa. Note: the prep time can be cut down if you use peeled/deveined shrimp.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 large red bell peppers, diced
2 lbs asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
2 teaspoons lemon zest, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (26 - 30 per pound)

1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
