Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi

May 10, 2013 by Jaida 3 Comments

I love seafood. Like, a lot. So, when Sarah announced that the theme for this round of the recipe swap was Seafood, I was giddy with excitement!! And then…then I got this recipe from Caroline, my fellow Texan blogger, and i couldn’t wait for the night it was scheduled for dinner. If you haven’t already, you need to check out her blog…lots of goodies on there!

Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi
It has the perfect lemony butter sauce, and I added a bit of lemon zest for that extra POP! of flavor, since I’m lemon-obsessed and all. Usually there are leftovers for J and/or me to take for lunch the next day, but not this time!! We ate it all!! So, so yummy. And now, as I write this, I’m wishing I had some to eat. At 10 o’clock in the morning…
Be sure to check out all the other great recipes from the swap below!

    This looks great. Scampi is one of Ron's favorites and we should probably try this one!

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!
