Caprese Shrimp Lentil Pasta
I love pasta even more than usual when it’s got protein and is lower in carbohydrate like this Caprese Shrimp Lentil Pasta recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 oz lentil spaghetti or linguine
- 1 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 2 cups chopped shrimp
- 1 handful basil chopped
- 1 drizzle olive oil
- pecorino romano
Instructions
- Cook pasta and set aside.
- Melt butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the tomatoes and cook until soft.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and cook until pink.
- Toss in the basil.
- Toss everything together with the sauce, adding as much olive oil as you like.
- Top with pecorino romano.
Notes
I used Ancient Harvest lentil linguine. Per two ounces, there are 35 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fiber, which brings the carb count down to 28. Much lower carb than rice. And there’s 14 grams of protein – way more than rice! And if you make this with shrimp, it’s even better for the protein content. Plus it’s seriously tasty.
You can find this at your local Whole Foods, or use this different but equally delicious brand of lentil spaghetti.
