A Little Shrimp Scampi For Your Holiday Weekend!

It is entirely too late to be blogging right now, but I wanted to post this recipe before the weekend!

You won’t see a whole lot of seafood recipes on Picky Palate, but I will admit to being a huge shrimp fan.

It was funny, my husband came home from work and saw that I was making this shrimp pasta and he pouted like a baby, because he only likes breaded and fried shrimp.

I told him the “wambulance” was waiting out front to pick him up.

As soon as the shrimp was done cooking, I had my boys come over for a taste and they both LOVED it.

My oldest guy was chanting “I love shrimp!”

I was giving my husband a hard time, letting him know he was totally out numbered!

This is a simple, rich and delicious dinner.

I highly recommend trying it if you are a shrimp fan.

The pasta itself is really tasty, my husband kept getting in it, fishing around the shrimp of course.

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!

I’ll be taking the weekend off from the kitchen!
