National Shrimp Scampi Day

Did you know today is National Shrimp Scampi Day along with “Worded” Wednesday? This is one of the easiest meals to prepare. I saute’ shrimp in olive oil and butter with a little garlic then add seasoning to your liking. You can also add a bit of wine. After the shrimp is cooked and slightly browned I stir in a small amount of butter with lemon juice and either broccoli or parsley. While I’m preparing the shrimp I boil up some pasta, I use linguini. When that’s cooked, I drain it and toss in the shrimp. Simple as that and so delicious.

My shrimp scampi just about ready.

My shrimp scampi dinner is served with a side of scallops and garlic knots. I made this when my “church angels” came over for dinner and what a enjoyable meal and company.

Do you like shrimp scampi and if so maybe this could be dinner tonight! I think that’s what I’ll be making since it’s National Shrimp Scampi Day!
