Shrimp Scampi Coctail

     Entertaining is at an all time high during the Holidays.  Overindulgence and celebrating seem to go hand in hand, but those don't have to be mutually exclusive.  I enjoy serving leaner options like my Shrimp Scampi Coctail.  Also, Whole Foods Market offers a large aray of options to help you be the hostess with the mostess, all the while providing a savory variety of healthy choices.  Fabulous produce with Hope Hummus for dipping, not to mention beautiful Shrimp that make the perfect appetizer becoming the shining star of any gathering.  Not to be forgotten, a top notch area with exquisite cheese selections that pair wonderfully grapes, pears, and apples.  And the best part is, if time is short, Whole Foods will make up your platters for you, call the store directly or order online at wholefoodsmarket.com.  They cook, you feast...or you can slave away in the kitchen all night...and probably the next morning too.  You choose  :)
