Lemon Scallops (or Shrimp)

I’m all for easy meals, and this is one of them. You can use either scallops or small shrimp in this dish. The original recipe called for butter, but I use a bit of chicken broth instead for less calories. Take your pick. Serve on a bed of cooked rice with a green salad on your next laid-back evening.

Servings: 8   Serving size: ½ cup   Preparation time: 20 minutes

Ingredients 3 ounces chicken broth 2 pounds shrimp or scallops 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed ½ cup fresh lemon juice 3 tablespoons cooking sherry 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
