Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi

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!
