Main dishes

This is a great low‑oxalate entrée that’s also light in calories and rich in niacin and selenium. When possible, choose wild‑caught shrimp rather than farm‑raised for the best quality. This is such a delicious main dish, simple, flavorful, and so satisfying!  

2 tbsp butter

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 lb. Shrimp (precleaned and precooked, available in the frozen or steamed section of store)

1 tsp basil

1 tsp rosemary

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1.  Melt butter in a pan.

2.  Sauté garlic then add shrimp, cooking on medium heat until shrimp is browned.

3.  In a small bowl, mix the spices and then add the shrimp.

4.  Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

5.  Add more spices by the ½ teaspoon until you get the flavor you desire.

 What a beautiful way to kick off the day grilling up an omelet for yourself or family. (Cut ingredients in half for yourself). 

1 tablespoon salted butter

1-ounce chopped mushrooms

1-ounce chopped onions

1-ounce chopped red bell peppers

4 medium eggs

1 ounce cream

Salt and pepper to taste

½ ounce shredded cheddar cheese, (may use goat or sheep)

To spice up the heat, add jalapeno peppers!

1. Melt half the butter in a medium skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add vegetables and sauté until soft, 5-7 minutes. Remove vegetables.

2. In the same skillet or griddle, melt the remaining butter. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Make sure butter covers bottom. Add the egg mixture.

3. Cook without stirring. As the egg around the edge sets, use a metal spatula to gently push the egg away from the sides so the egg mixture in the center can get to the edge.

4. When the entire egg mixture is set, add the vegetables on top of one half of the omelet. Sprinkle half the cheese over the vegetables, then gently fold the omelet in half to cover the vegetables. Slide the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Serve immediately.
