Garlic, Ginger & Scallion Shrimp

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The shrimp in this dish may be the star of the show, but they wouldn’t shine without the garlic, ginger and scallions that give every bite a kick of flavor!

I first started making this dish back in 2011, when I first came across my friend Sarah’s blog, and the many amazing recipes she has on there.  I made it several times back then, and through some trial and error (be careful of  popping oil!), found my groove with it, and devoured as much as possible.

I mean, come on now…who can resist shrimp sauteed with garlic, ginger, and scallions?!?! The flavor combo is just amazing, and really enhances the already delicious shrimp.

I am always looking for ways that I can cook shrimp that J will also like, and I figured that this one was a sure-win. While I don’t think he loved it the way I do (he rarely does, with shrimp), he did like it. And that, my friends, is a win in my book!  Besides, that just means the leftovers are allllll mine! Well, assuming there are any leftovers, that is.

This is another one of my quick, easy, and delicious dinners, perfect for a busy weeknight. And I can’t stress enough how full of flavor it is. The ingredients are simple, but powerful, I promise!

I’m really wishing I had some of this right now. I’d even eat it for breakfast!! And, your co-workers may smell the deliciousness coming from the kitchen and ask you for the recipe, like one of mine did! Yeah, I know, some people frown on heating any kind of seafood in the break room, but…apparently this doesn’t give off that “fishy” smell. I mean, I would eat it regardless because, a girl’s gotta eat! But, at least you know this one won’t offend anyone’s senses!

      Yes, you can. You could use a couple of tablespoons of water in its place, to create the paste for the shrimp.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
