Drum roll please . . . .
My plan is to hit my 10 pound loss next week (only 1.6 to go!) and hit my 5%. I want the 5% sticker dammit! š
While I normally look forward to party pizza Friday, I keep forgetting that it’s lent. Since Tony’s favorite pizza is a meatza (sausage, mushroom, pepperoni, meatballs, bacon, etc!) and he’s not a huge fan of veggie pizza, we went to Plan B.
He emailed me this with the subject line: Dinner??
Shrimp and White Wine Pasta Sauce with Tomatoes
- 2 servings – 10 PointsPlus per serving (8 shrimp, 1/2 of sauce and 1 cup pasta)
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (which I pureed, can’t do chunky tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 16 medium size shrimp
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Add wine and Italian seasoning and simmer for about 10 minutes, the sauce will reduce somewhat as the wine cooks down. Add raw shrimp and simmer for 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp is cooked through. Toss in the pasta and coat with sauce.
It was a perfect dish – the pasta absorbed the sauce, the shrimp were so tender – a perfect date night in dinner – and done in 30 minutes from beginning to end. š
So my plan for this week to get to my 10 pounds lost:
- drink water on the weekends – I do great at my desk, but not on the weekends
- exercise on the weekends – even if its just going for a walk
- less wine! š
- more veggies – I plan on adding salad to a lot of my lunches
The sun is shining today – and we may hit 50 degrees – hello spring! š
Enjoy your weekend!
Congratulations on your journey. I was so grateful finding your blog, I am a newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic, scared to death and wondering if WW is the route for me. I have belonged before and have been successful – still have a ways to go. Thank you sincerely

You’re getting so close to your goal! Gooo you! I am drooling over your shrimp dish – it’s like a sort of tame version of fra diavlo.
I hope you get some nice spring weather! I would be freezing if it were only 50 degrees though š
Good luck with your next weigh-in. You WILL get that sticker!
Good going on the loss – must have been all those killer bike rides and treadmill time! You’ll hit your 10 pounds soon at this rate! š
Congrats on your loss this week, Biz!!!! That shrimp dish looks amazing!
Great job on the loss and that shrimp looks amazing!
No doubt you can do it! And if you need help I will gladly come by and drink the wine for you.
You know, just to save you the temptation. š
And you know what I love and am now craving [you reminded me] Mussels in white wine sauce. YUM. We can get a huge bag of mussels for 7 dollars and it is a meal.
Now I am wishing they were in season. š
You rock! You will totally get that sticker next week. That shrimp dish looks soooo good. Another for the “try” pile. I just finished making and freezing a few Reuben quiches from your recipe with my leftover corned beef. Have a great weekend!
go girl!! keep up the good work! i love this dish, i so wish my husband would find shrimp recipes for me, he can’t stand the stuff.
Great loss š
Dinner looks good and hope you get some warmer weather.
I battle to drink water on the weekends especially when it’s cold out!
Yeah Biz on the weight loss!!!!! You’ll make it next week I know you will!
Your dinner looks awesome – nice choice Tony!
0w! What a great dinner! Shrimpppp. I’m so addicted right now š Congrats on the loss! Keep pushing pretty lady! We had a date night in last night too- and ours also involved shrimp (in the form of baked egg rolls- recipe to come). Hope you have a fantastic weekend
Husband sending you recipes via email? He so rocks! My husband would be sending me Pizza Hut coupons! That looks awesome, I so should have came over! Nice on the weight loss. Step away from the wine and you’ll see that 10 lbs. lost! š
Way to go Biz! I’ve been stuck at the same weight for the last few weeks but I think that has to do with not exercising. My big assignment will be finished this weekend (God Willing) and I plan to get back into it. I want my 5% too! Even though I’m only online.
That pasta dish looks great. I love shrimp but never cook with them. Peeled and deveined would be a must for me!
Congratulations on your weightloss! I know that has to feel good. Your pasta dish looks fantastic. What a perfect way to celebrate and share with someone you love! Way to go!
Way to go! Dinner looks fab, I’m going to make this on Sunday for my PIL’s! š I love shrimp, and this recipe is great.
Have a good weekend, you will do awesome! š
Congrats on the weight loss!
