Tuesdays are for Shrimp

 Tuesdays are for shrimp.

Welcome back folks! Oops, maybe that welcome back is for me eh? Many, many moons ago I wrote to you about....was it Chicken and Macaroni? So long ago it's hard to recall. 

In any event, I'm here to bring you another delicious & easy Gourmeg meal. This was a terrific meal to make with my one and only. Which, is also an awesome way to get a date at home in. Kids get something easy and fast and we eat later, cooking together.

So here's the low down. I added mushrooms to my Shrimp Scampi. Is that a faux pas? I dunno, but it was tasty!

How to make amazing Shrimp Scampi:

12oz 51-60 Shrimp per pound

Butter

Pasta

1.5 C chicken stock

Lemon juice

4 cloves minced garlic

mushrooms

Salt & pepper to taste

Wait for that delicious butter to sizzle over med/hi heat.

Throw in a handful of mushrooms & reduce heat to med.

Cook your pasta while your mushrooms saute. Multitasking!

Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over your mushrooms. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic. Running low on butter, toss in another tablespoon or so. Mo butter mo better.

Add chicken stock. Inhale amazing smells.

Get yer scrimp ready!

Add scrimp. Let em cook til pink (about 5 min).

                                               

Combine drained cooked pasta to mushroom shrimp mix. Allow to cook till sauce is absorbed into pasta.

Consume!
