Ingredients

3 medium yellow potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup white grape juice
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vinegar
12 ounces frozen jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (no-sodium-added)
1 medium fresh zucchini, cut into small chunks
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (no-sodium)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Pierce the skin of each potato with a fork. Microwave the potatoes on high for 2 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and microwave for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let them cool slightly.
2. While the potatoes are cooling, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and coarsely chopped red bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Cube the partially cooked potatoes. Add the white grape juice, water, and vinegar to the saucepan and bring it to a boil.
4. Add the frozen jumbo shrimp, fresh zucchini, cubed potatoes, salt, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the saucepan. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the shrimp, potatoes, and zucchini are cooked through. The shrimp should have an opaque color.
5. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice from half of the lemon into the saucepan.
6. Serve the dish with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Serve with lemon wedges cut from the remaining half of the lemon.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, potatoes, bell peppers, and onions are key to making this recipe delicious. Using fresh ingredients will give the dish better texture and flavor.

Cut the potatoes and bell pepper evenly: To ensure that the potatoes and bell pepper cook evenly, cut them into evenly sized pieces.

Don't overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery, so be sure to cook them just until they turn pink and are cooked through. It should only take about 5 minutes.

Customize the recipe: You can customize this recipe by adding other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes. You can also add additional spices or herbs to your liking.

Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the ingredients to cook evenly and prevent overcrowding, which can result in uneven cooking.

Serve hot: This dish is best served hot, so be sure to serve it immediately after cooking. If you need to keep it warm before serving, cover it with foil or a lid to prevent it from drying out.
