Shrimp Scampi over Linguine

Shrimp Scampi over Linguine

American · 25 min · shrimp · pescatarian, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

  • 12 oz linguine
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil and cook the linguine to one minute short of the package time, then reserve 1 cup of the water and drain.
  2. While it boils, pat the shrimp completely dry and season with the salt and pepper — wet shrimp steam instead of searing.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and sear the shrimp in a single layer for 90 seconds a side, until pink and opaque through, then move them to a plate.
  4. Lower the heat to medium, add the thinly sliced garlic and pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds, just until fragrant — burnt garlic turns the whole pan bitter.
  5. Pour in the wine and simmer 2 to 3 minutes until reduced by half, scraping the browned bits off the bottom.
  6. Take the pan off the heat and swirl in the butter a piece at a time with the juice of the whole lemon until the sauce is glossy.

Skillet Chicken with Rice and Peas

Skillet Chicken with Rice and Peas

· 30 min · chicken · gluten-free, dairy-free, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch pieces
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  1. Cut the chicken into even ¾-inch pieces so they cook at about the same speed, and dice the onion into ¼-inch pieces.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for about 1 minute, until it shimmers but does not smoke.
  3. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme; cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are lightly golden outside and no longer look raw on the surface.
  4. Stir in the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes over medium heat, until it looks translucent and smells sweet.
  5. Add the rice and broth, stir once to level the rice, and bring the liquid to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid; the rice should be tender and most of the broth absorbed.
  7. Stir in the peas, cover again, and cook over low heat for 2–3 minutes, until the peas are hot and the chicken's thickest pieces read 165°F; if the rice is still firm, add 2 tbsp water and cook covered for 2 more minutes.
  8. Turn off the heat and let the skillet stand covered for 3 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork so the rice stays light.

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 4 (10 oz each) bone-in pork loin chops, 1-inch thick
  • 1 1/2 lb russet potatoes
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 6 fresh sage leaves
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  1. Salt the chops on both sides and leave them on the counter while you deal with the potatoes. Cold meat straight from the fridge cooks unevenly.
  2. Dice the potatoes into half-inch cubes and parboil them in salted water for 5 minutes, just until a knife tip meets slight resistance. Drain hard and let them steam dry for 2 minutes.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high and add the potatoes in one layer. Leave them undisturbed for 5 minutes so a crust sets, then toss and cook 8 to 10 minutes more with the diced onion, paprika, and salt, until the cubes are crisp and brown on most sides. Tip them into a bowl and keep warm.
  4. Wipe the skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and get it hot. Pat the chops bone dry and lay them in. Sear 4 to 5 minutes without moving them, until the underside is evenly browned and the chop releases on its own.
  5. Flip, drop in 2 tablespoons of butter and the sage, and spoon the foaming butter over the chops for 3 to 4 minutes, until the center reads 140F. Move them to a plate to rest.
  6. Stir the flour into the pan fat and cook 1 minute, then pour in the cider and broth and scrape the bottom clean. Boil 4 to 6 minutes until the gravy reduces by about half and turns syrupy.
  7. Whisk in the Dijon and the last 2 tablespoons of butter off the heat, which gives the gravy its shine. Taste for salt.
  8. Plate the chops with the home fries, pour the cider gravy over the pork, and add any juices that pooled on the resting plate.

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp each paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper
  1. Soak the chicken in buttermilk with half the paprika and garlic powder for 15 minutes while you peel the potatoes.
  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water until a knife slides through with no resistance, 15 to 18 minutes, then drain.
  3. Dredge each piece in seasoned flour, pressing hard so a shaggy crust clings; save 2 tablespoons of the flour for gravy.
  4. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet to 340°F, or until a pinch of flour sizzles briskly on contact.
  5. Fry in two batches, 7 to 9 minutes per side, until the crust is deep mahogany and a thigh reads 175°F at the bone.
  6. Drain the chicken on a rack. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of fat, whisk in the reserved flour, and cook 1 minute until it smells nutty.
  7. Whisk in the broth and simmer, scraping the browned bits, until the gravy coats a spoon, about 4 minutes.
  8. Mash the potatoes with the butter and hot milk until fluffy, season well, and serve the chicken over top with gravy.

Sliced Beef Brisket With Creamy Horseradish Slaw

Sliced Beef Brisket With Creamy Horseradish Slaw

American · 300 min · beef · gluten-free, keto, low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 3 lb beef brisket, flat cut
  • 1 small head, shredded green cabbage
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 3 tbsp prepared horseradish
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp coarse black pepper
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  1. Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and coat the brisket on every surface, pressing it in. Let it sit at room temperature 30 minutes if you have the time.
  2. Heat the oven to 275F. Set the brisket fat-cap up in a roasting pan, add the broth, cover tightly with foil and cook 4 hours, until a fork twists in the thickest part with almost no resistance.
  3. Uncover and roast 30 to 40 minutes more so the bark firms up and darkens. Rest the brisket, loosely tented, for a full 30 minutes before it meets a knife.
  4. While it rests, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish and vinegar with a pinch of salt, then toss with the shredded cabbage and chill so it crisps and cools.
  5. Slice the brisket against the grain about a pencil-width thick and serve with the slaw and a spoonful of the defatted pan juices.

Sliced Turkey And Stuffing Sandwiches With Cranberry

American · 30 min · turkey · high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 1 lb deli turkey breast, thick sliced
  • 1 box (6 oz) herb stuffing mix
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 3/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce

  1. Melt the butter over medium and cook the diced celery and onion 6 minutes, until translucent and soft enough to smash against the pan.
  2. Add the broth and poultry seasoning, bring to a boil, then stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and rest off heat 5 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the crumbs are plump.
  3. Fluff the stuffing with a fork and press it into a greased 8-inch pan; bake at 400F for 12 minutes, until the top is crusty and golden.
  4. Toast the sourdough until firm so the cranberry sauce does not soak through.
  5. Spread mayonnaise on four slices and cranberry sauce on the other four.
  6. Cut the stuffing into four squares and stack each sandwich with turkey, a stuffing square, Swiss, and lettuce.
  7. Press the sandwiches firmly and cut in half so the layers hold together.
