Creamy Seafood Linguine

I've lost my first pound on this diet!  Woo!

Last night, the weather was dreary, and comfort food was in order.  What better comfort than to snuggle down with your hunny and a big bowl of creamy pasta?  This recipe was surprisingly delicious and filling.

Here's what you'll need!

  • 8 oz linguine
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp white wine
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup evaporated skim milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.  Keep warm.
  2. Lightly spray a large skillet with non-stick spray.  Add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.  Add the onions and garlic.  Cook and stir about 5 minutes, until the onions are golden brown.
  3. In a small cup, mix the wine and flour until smooth.  Stir into the onion mixture.  Add the milk.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Reduce heat.  Stir in the coriander and cook for 1 minute.  Add the shrimp.  Return to a simmer.  Cook, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink.
  5. Stir in the parsley, salt, and pepper.  Serve over the hot pasta.
 Serves 3.

Lean Cuisine Szechuan-Style Stir Fry with Shrimp


This dish was awesome!  
A cautionary word - cook it thoroughly - the shrimp come raw, to avoid over-cooking!
So.  2g fat.  230 calories.  This dish was delicious!  The shrimp came out perfect and there were over half a dozen of them!  The vegetables were, once again, crisp and fresh-tasting.  The sauce was very sweet, with a strong, spicy kick.  And there were a ton of noodles!  I don't know how it managed to be only 230 calories with so much tasty goodness!
I'm definitely pleased that Lean Cuisine has been 2 for 2 this week on awesomeness!
It even looked good coming right out of the packaging!  I really hope the three entres planned for the rest of the week live up to this high standard - they all fall into LC's "Spa Cuisine" line-up, so hopefully they won't disappoint.
