This light and easy low carb Greek Shrimp recipe is a wonderful summer meal. Enjoy it al fresco with your friends and family.
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?
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!
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.
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.

A cheese, salumi, olive plate and cold salad with a lovely glass of wine is my favorite easy al fresco meal.
We are trying the greek shrimp!
Love this cookware and I use many of your recipes!
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.
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.
When the weather is good, I’l eat anything al fresco. But I would say most often we eat al fresco when we grill.
Love shrimp. Would love to try to cook scallops but I’m so intimidated by them
A nice grilled steak and veggies is what I enjoy al fresco but this shrimp dish could change my mind. Delish!
A great grilled steak! This shrimp recipe looks divine. And the cookware, wow. They are gorgeous.
The Greek shrimp looks tasty, and the cookware is tempting.
Iced tea with lime and fresh berries!
I love your recipes and would love to have this gorgeous cookware! Thanks for all you do for your loyal fans 😉
Anything grilled is good!
My favorite al fresco food are bbq ribs!
Caprese Salad with chicken or shrimp cooked on the Treager.
