“Tantalize Your Taste Buds with Fried Shrimp Marinade – A Recipe to Master While at Home!”
How to Make Fried Shrimp with Lemon and Herb Marinade
As a stay at home parent, I understand the desire to make meals that are both delicious and easy to prepare. Fried shrimp with lemon and herb marinade is a favorite in my house and allows me to make a dish that is both flavorful and quick to put together.
The ingredients are simple and have a great flavor profile. For the marinade, you will need olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried herbs of your choice (I like oregano, thyme, and basil), salt, and pepper. For the shrimp, you will need 1 pound of large peeled and deveined shrimp, as well as all-purpose flour for dredging. You will also need a cast-iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed skillet for frying.
To start the marinade, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix until fully combined. Place the shrimp in a separate bowl or Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it. Make sure all of the shrimp is fully coated in the marinade before covering it with plastic wrap or sealing the bag. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully blend.
When you are ready to cook, remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and heat your skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. While the skillet is heating up, place your all-purpose flour on a plate or shallow dish and dredge each piece of shrimp in it until fully coated. Once all of your shrimp is dredged in flour, add it to your hot skillet in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown on each side (about 2 minutes per side).
Once all of your shrimp is fried up nicely it’s time to serve! I like to plate my fried shrimp with steamed vegetables or pasta for a complete meal. I also often make an extra batch of marinade to use as a sauce for added flavor.
Fried shrimp with lemon and herb marinade has become one of my go-to recipes for busy nights when I want something tasty but don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen. It’s easy enough for even my youngest children to help out with making this dish so I can spend more time with them while still having dinner on the table quickly!

“Cook up a Feast! Fried Fish with Tartar Sauce and Lemon – A Perfect Meal for Stay at Home Parents”
Fried Fish with Tartar Sauce and Lemon
As a stay-at-home parent, I often find myself looking for easy, delicious meals that I can prepare for my family. One of our favorite dishes is fried fish with tartar sauce and lemon. Not only is this meal quick and easy to make, but it’s also incredibly flavorful and the tartar sauce and lemon add the perfect amount of brightness to the dish.
The ingredients for this meal are simple: fish fillets, flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, pepper, eggs, oil for frying, tartar sauce, and lemons. To start, I combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Then I dip the fish fillets in the egg mixture (two eggs beaten together with a few tablespoons of water) before coating them with the flour mixture.
Next, I heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it is hot enough (I test it by dropping a pinch of flour in the oil; if it sizzles and bubbles immediately then it’s ready), I place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook them until they are golden brown on both sides.
Once the fish is cooked through (I test it by inserting a fork into the center of one of the fillets; if it flakes easily then it’s done), I transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Finally, I serve them alongside lemon wedges and tartar sauce for an extra zing!
One of my favorite parts about making this meal is telling my children about how my grandmother used to make fried fish for us when we were kids. The smell of fried fish would always fill her kitchen and we would all gather around as she piled plates high with tender flaky fillets and tartar sauce. Even though she is no longer here with us physically, every time we make this meal together as a family I feel her presence in that same way.
If you’re looking for an easy but delicious meal that your whole family will enjoy then give fried fish with tartar sauce and lemon a try! You won’t regret it!

“Fried Chicken with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: A Delicious and Easy Recipe for Busy Stay-At-Home Parents!”
Fried Chicken with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
As a stay at home parent, I know how difficult it can be to find the time to make a delicious home cooked meal that your whole family will love. Fried chicken is one of my all-time favorite dishes, and I’ve developed a recipe for it that I think you’ll love. Not only is it easy to make, but it is also quite tasty. And it’s served with an easy-to-make buttermilk ranch dressing that takes this classic dish to the next level.
The key to making the perfect fried chicken is using quality ingredients and having the right equipment. I like to start by marinating my chicken in buttermilk for at least four hours or overnight. This helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. After marinating, I coat the chicken in a mix of flour, cornstarch, spices, and salt and pepper. The combination of these ingredients helps to give the fried chicken its classic crunchy coating.
Once the chicken is coated, I heat a pot of vegetable oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. To make sure the oil is hot enough, you can use a kitchen thermometer or simply drop in a small piece of bread – if it starts sizzling and turning golden brown, you’re good to go! Then I carefully place each piece of chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
To serve this delicious fried chicken, I like to make a quick and easy buttermilk ranch dressing with mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, salt and pepper. This creamy dressing adds an extra layer of flavor that really brings out the best in this fried chicken. I like to serve my fried chicken with mashed potatoes or French fries and some steamed vegetables for a complete meal that everyone will love.
My family loves this recipe and requests it often! It’s always been a favorite in our house since my grandmother first taught me how to fry chicken when I was just a kid. Now I get to share this recipe with my own children who enjoy helping me put everything together – from marinating the chicken in buttermilk to stirring up the dressing – they love being part of the process (and eating it too!). Fried chicken with buttermilk ranch dressing is definitely a winner in our household!
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
