Vegetables and Shrimp over Angel Hair Pasta
Give me some whole grain pasta, a ton of veggies and I’m happy. The husband didn’t like it UNTIL he added parmesan cheese. Then he said it was "good". Go figure! 
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Small sweet onion dices
- 5 gloves of garlic diced
- 2-3 stalks of celery diced small
- 5-6 baby carrots diced small
- 2 cups of vegetable or chicken stock (separated)
- 6 plum tomatoes diced
- 2 small heads of broccoli cut and cleaned
- 2 tbsp oat flour (or other thickener)
- 12 oz frozen cooked shrimp (defrosted and tails removed)
- 8 oz whole-grain angel hair pasta cooked according to package
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sprinkle with Salt and Pepper and let sweet for a bit. Add the celery and carrots. Stir. The onion should start to get a little brown and the pan will start to stick a bit, that’s OK. Cook for about 3-5 minutes.
Pour about half of the broth and deglaze the plan. Add the tomatoes and broccoli. Stir and cover for about 3 minutes allowing the flavors to mix and the broccoli to cook.
Whisk the remaining broth and oat flour. Pour over cooked veggies in the skillet and turn up the heat allowing the broth to thicken. Add the shrimp. Stir and scoop over the Angel Hair pasta.

Looks yummy - with or without parmesean!!
Did you do the nutritionals yet? I know I am going to sound like a commercial, but SparkPeople.com provides a recipe builder with their site and everything is FREE!
A
36 points if you ate the whole amount that you made!
That looks delicious and I can't wait to add it to next weeks menu. I am working on a Five Point Friday thingy for my blog and if it is okay I would like to be able to use some of your recipes? You have such a wonderful site that is provided me with so much help and inspiration that I really want more and more people to check you out!
If it has prawns in it then I am happy. It just looks delicious.
I made this tonight (with some changes) for the hubby, who loves Italian, loves Shrimp, but does not especially love veggies or "healthy" food. (He does much better now than before we met, though!)
What I did differently:
No broth. I simply forgot to add it in before starting to add the veggies. By the time I remembered, it was far too late. LOL
I also used stewed sliced tomatoes instead of fresh because they were on hand. 1 whole can.
I cooked 12 shrimp in alongside the veggies and just arranged them on top of the veggies and pasta, in a serving size befitting him. LOL (Half the vegetables, a serving and a half of pasta, 12 shrimp)
Hubby doesn't eat "whole wheat" much of anything, so the angel hair is your standard semolina. He liked it without Parmesan, but decided it was VERY good with a sprinkling of it.
Thanks for giving me a new idea for shrimp! With practice we'll get better with servings and points, but what a vast improvement on getting vegetables into the family!!
