Dinner Party's are possible on HCG...

We got together w/ 3 other couples this past Mon evening for dinner 5/8 of us are on Dr. Simeons HCG protocol, my husband is in maintenance (Phase 4), and 2 spouses are not on the protocol, yet we were able to have a delicious dinner (and dessert!) that all were happy with...I'm gonna post the vid here and recipe how-to below...



For Shrimp Scampi: We used jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled, then weighed, 6=100g...Place shrimp in pan, saute with lemon juice, sea salt (we used grey sea salt), garlic, and crushed red pepper (for those not on HCG you can remove your shrimp and then add some butter to make the sauce a bit creamy)

For Salad: Kevin Trudeaus book has a list of certain authorized veggies that you can mix (among them are cabbage, lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes)...you may choose to mix or simply serve shrimp w/ lettuce/spinach (use the sauce from the sauteed shrimp as your dressing)

For Dessert: Fresh strawberries w/ Lemon Ice: 1c water, 1 pkt stevia, juice of 1 lemon...mix well, place in freezer, check every 30 min, and scrape/mix to create a granita or you can freeze in ice cube trays and blend

We had a great evening, a filling (and Phase 2 appropriate) meal, and even those not on HCG enjoyed both dinner and dessert...Oh, almost forgot we had stevia sweetened iced yerba mate tea to drink...and, root beer )made with root beer flavored stevia and sparkling water - surprisingly good and very much like the real thing - whoda thunk?)
