    Shrimp Scampi: A Stay-at-Home Parent’s Dream Meal

    As a stay-at-home parent, I know how valuable time is. With so much to do and so little time to do it all, I’m always looking for ways to make meal preparation easier and faster. That’s why I love shrimp scampi. It’s a great way to get a delicious, home-cooked meal on the table in no time flat. Plus, it’s packed with flavor and nutrition.

    Ingredients:
    1 lb. raw, deveined shrimp
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup white wine
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 tablespoons capers
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste

    My family loves shrimp scampi because it’s a delicious way to get a healthy protein into our diets without spending too much time cooking. We start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, we add the garlic and cook it until fragrant – about one minute. Then we add the shrimp and cook until they are almost done – about three minutes. We then add the white wine, lemon juice, capers, red pepper flakes, and butter and stir to combine. We reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the sauce thickens – about five minutes. Finally, we season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste before adding the parsley and stirring to combine. This dish takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish!

    As an added bonus, this dish is full of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The combination of garlic, lemon juice, white wine and butter creates a rich sauce that perfectly complements the succulent shrimp. Plus, it’s packed with healthy fats like olive oil that help keep us feeling full for longer.

    Shrimp scampi has become one of our favorite meals at home – especially when I want something fast but still nutritious and delicious. Plus, my kids love helping me make it! One of their favorite parts is squeezing the lemon juice into the pan (with adult supervision of course). It’s always fun to watch them get excited about helping out in the kitchen!

    So if you’re looking for a quick weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone in your family – give this shrimp scampi recipe a try! It only takes 15 minutes from start to finish but tastes like you spent all day cooking it!

    This shrimp and corn chowder recipe is simple to prepare, and the ingredients are easy to find. You’ll need 2 pounds of peeled and deveined shrimp, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 onion, diced, 2 cloves of garlic, minced, 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, 1 cup of frozen corn kernels, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of half-and-half cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. For garnish you’ll need 3 slices of cooked bacon chopped into small pieces.

    To begin, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.

Add the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper; stir until cheese is melted completely. Serve warm with bacon crumbles on top as a garnish.
