Easy Low Carb Greek Shrimp Recipe

Don’t you hate it when gorgeous new cookware just shows up on your doorstep? I mean really…who needs all those beautiful shiny stainless steel pots and pans anyway? Who wants that stuff cluttering up their kitchen, making it easier and more fun to cook wonderful low carb recipes? Certainly not this girl. I hate to cook. I hate to eat. I really don’t like to think about food at all, if I can help it. It’s just such a nuisance, don’t you think?

New Lagostina Cookware Set

Oh wait, wait a second. This is All Day I Dream About Food and I’m the nut job who loves to cook and bake and really does dream about food all day. And one of the glorious benefits of my job is that shiny new cookware really does arrive on my doorstep for me to review. And one of the benefits of being a follower of the nut job who loves to cook is that this same shiny new cookware from Lagostina might also arrive  on YOUR doorstep too!

Easy Keto dinner recipe - Greek shrimp with tomatoes and feta

I don’t say yes to a lot of review products anymore because quite frankly, it’s not always worth my time and energy. But the new Luminosa 11 piece cookware set from Lagostina really looked so good, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try it out. I admit that the price point gave me pause. It’s a very reasonable $199 at Bed Bath and Beyond, which actually sounded a little too good to be true for a whole set of good cookware. But I have one lovely Lagostina soup pot already and I know it’s good craftsmanship so I thought I’d see how this whole set held up.

Lagostina pot

I am happy to report that my fears were unfounded. It not only LOOKS the part, with those unique hammered lids, but it plays the part too, being very durable and of high quality. It has real heft in your hand, which is one of my telltale signs of good cookware. It has a the 3-ply bonded base with stainless steel inside and out, and since it’s oven and broiler save up to 500ºF, it can go straight from stovetop to oven. The brushed cooking surface is made of premium grade stainless steel and the stay-cool handles are riveted on for extra durability. Picking it up, you simply feel that you have a good pan in your hands.

Okay, so that’s how it feels…how does it actually cook? I have a very powerful gas stove and that was the real test. I had another set of stainless steel cookware that I never felt lived up to the heat of my stove. Things were always sticking to the bottom and burning onto the sides. So I was impressed when the Lagostina sauté pan heated evenly and cooked evenly, with no sticking or burning. I also tried it out on my little single induction burner and it heated beautifully there too.

I was asked to create a summer seafood meal that could be enjoyed al fresco so I chose an old favorite, Greek Shrimp, and gave it a delicious low carb makeover. This recipe was perfect for testing out the pots, as you use both the stove and the oven. Lagostina is well known for its beautiful design so it really does go from stove to oven to table without skipping a beat. Truly perfect for enjoying your meals al fresco.

    • Hey Carolyn – this is about June 29 2016 and enjoyed your comments about Canada being 149 to the point I copied and held them. Hope you don’t mind but I combined some of your comments with mine on SSRFanatic.com while I wished for all of us Canadians and Canada a Happy 150.
      I follow your blog, but being a single guy just cant do all the stuff I would like to
      So, Happy Canada Day – Happy Independence Day!

    Another delicious-sounding recipe, it’s going in my file. Thanks for all you do!

  17. My favorite meal alfresco is simple, a well seasoned medium rare steak and horiatiki (Greek village salad)! Love, love love this meal during the summer. I even occasionally indulge in a glass of red wine to go with it! The Greek shrimp recipe is what caught my eye on this blog post…I married into a Greek family and have fallen in love with the cuisine!

  43. When the weather is good, I’l eat anything al fresco. But I would say most often we eat al fresco when we grill.

    Reply

  44. Up until now it was Polish sausages or burgers on the grill but with this cookware, I could expand my horizons. I’m working with aluminum based cookware currently but would love to have stainless in my life.

    Reply

  45. I live in Texas, so on cooler summer nights, just about any meal we eat is considered al fresco. My favorite is probably macaroni or potato salad, usually served alongside some barbecue.

    Reply

  48. A cheese, salumi, olive plate and cold salad with a lovely glass of wine is my favorite easy al fresco meal.

  51. There is nothing easier than cooking shrimp since you can keep frozen shrimp on hand and it defrosts easily. I love fresh seafood, but frozen is fast and easy!

  58. I absolutely love your blog and it is the first place I go to find great tasting diabetic recipes. And your giveaway gift are just as good! I would love a new set of cookware..I have 3 pots from 3 different sets that are beat up m but still cook good enough. I do have a few great pieces of cast iron inherited from my great mamaw, my gram, and my mom. Keep up the good work dreaming of food and creating great recipes!!! And thank your for your hard work and generous spirit

  64. My favorite meal al fresco we call deli night! It’s just deli sandwiches on usually special rolls from the deli with chips and grapes. This of course was before THM. But my kids loved it for some crazy reason! I think it was all the love that went into it!

    Reply

    • Me too! Which is why I was a little concerned that they wouldn’t be that good. They aren’t top of the line but they really are quite good!

  79. The only thing I usually end up eating alfresco is peanut butter and jelly (I have small kids)!

    Reply

  80. Thanks for posting such great recipes. I love the stainless steel cookware. I was unable to cook for for a few years so I passed my set down to one of the kids. Have longed to get them back, but alas, they are in good hands and being used, so they have a forever home.

    Can’t wait to try these shrimp.

  81. Al fresco? Haha! I don’t even know what that means! I’ve always been a meat and potatoes girl but through websites like yours I’m branching out. Still unsure of cooking terms but loving the new tastes!

  85. I love eating any kind of hard meats and cheeses while sipping wine outside. But since going keto, I sip on sparkling water with lime.

  88. Carolyn, what are the shrimp nestled upon? It looks like riced cauliflower, but I didn’t see any mention in the recipe. Thanks, Liz

    Reply

    • Yes, it’s cauliflower rice. And I thought I’d said that at the end of the recipe but maybe it got left off.

      Reply

      • I see the mention of cauliflower rice at the end of your recipe. I just want to be sure I’m right to assume that the nutritional information is just for the ingredients for the main dish and do not include the cauliflower rice. Thanks so much!

  91. Well I do love chicken, spinach, feta salad but that shrimp is call my name….. might have a new favorite! Thanks for all you do

    Reply

  92. I don’t think I have a favorite. I will eat pretty much anything al fresco!! Someone wants to feed me I never turn it down..lol

    Reply

  93. My favorite meal to eat alfresco would have to be fresh grilled chicken, with green beans and a giant Greek salad. Heaven!

    Reply

  95. My favorite “al fresco” meal requires very little prep work, beyond boiling them – plain, sweet Dungeness Crab! Just spread out the newspaper on the picnic table, add a roll of paper towels and wet towelettes, roll up your sleeves & get cracking!

    But if I were to have to actually cook something it would involve chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts, garlic, and Romaine lettuce leaves or Bibb lettuce. So, since I don’t have any crab on hand, I think I am going to go make the later. YUM.

    Reply

  98. This cookware is beautiful. I agree, $199 doesn’t sound like it would be worthwhile. Most cookware sets are hundreds of dollars. I really need new cookware, I keep thinking I can get along. I’m getting tired of ‘getting along’

  100. My daughter and I love your recipes. Both of us have made many of them and I recently ordered your cookbook that is coming out this fall. Very excited to see what’s inside!
