Healthy Spicy Shrimp Scampi Recipe with Organic Muir Glen® Tomatoes
The fresh flavor of Muir Glen® Tomatoes made my Spicy Shrimp Scampi recipe extra special delicious. I had the privilege of trying these tomatoes for the first time this week. I received a beautiful basket with the Limited Edition Red and Yellow Organic Tomatoes as well as the Fire Roasted variety. They are truly a special treat when you consider that they are grown organically on a farm in California and hand harvested at the peak of ripeness.

A few chopped green onions make a nice addition to this recipe.
Muir Glen® Was kind enough to send me this beautiful basket of tomatoes to try. I have to tell you that I absolutely loved the flavor. I can’t wait to try some of my other recipes and use these tomatoes. You can see in the photo how lovly the color looks. It reminded me of the tomatoes we used to jar with my family when I was a kid. They look like they truley are picked at perfection and preserved. What a treat!
