Paprika Shrimp Green Bean Saute

How To Prepare
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put green beans in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and paprika and cook, stirring constantly, until just fragrant but not browned, about 20 seconds. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Stir in beans, vinegar and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley.
Divide the green beans among 6 plates. Top with the shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup parsley.

Artichoke Red Pepper Frittata

How To Prepare
PREPARATION
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

Whisk egg whites in a medium bowl. Stir in artichoke hearts, oregano, pepper and the bell pepper mixture.

Set a rack about 4 inches from the heat source; preheat the broiler.
Brush the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil; heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and tilt to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottom is light golden, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the pan under the broiler and cook until the top is set, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

Slide the frittata onto a platter and cut into wedges.

Zucchini Frittata

How To Prepare
Spray or wipe an oven safe pan with a VERY thin coat of olive oil. Set burner to medium heat. Add zucchini and onion to skillet; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, but not mush…3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, mint, basil, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder and a grinding of pepper; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the moisture has evaporated, 30 to 60 seconds.

2
Whisk 5 egg whites, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder and a grinding of pepper in a large bowl until blended. Add the zucchini mixture; stir to combine.
3
Preheat the broiler.
4
Wipe out the pan and coat with olive oil and place over medium-low heat. Add the frittata mixture and cook, without stirring, until the bottom is light golden, 2 to 4 minutes. As it cooks, lift the edges and tilt the pan so uncooked egg whites will flow to the edges.
5
Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the frittata is set and the top is golden, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Loosen the edges and slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
