This lemon shrimp pasta salad is low in calories. Originally meant to be a side dish I made some healthy substitutions and added shrimp. Serve with asparagus, the entire family loves it.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk yogurt, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until smooth.

  2. 2

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook penne uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse penne under cold water until slightly cooled.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a glass baking dish.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

  6. 6

    Toss pasta with dressing in a bowl; stir in shrimp and scallions. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper; garnish with Cheddar and lemon slices.
