Directions
Shrimp scampi is usually swimming in butter, this lightened version is just as delicious, using only a touch of butter and lots of fresh lemon. My kids love Pasta and Broccoli, sometimes I make it as a main dish, but also makes a great side dish using any small pasta shape like orzo or ditalini which worked great in this dish. If you want an easy way to bake your shrimp instead, you can try this Easy Baked Shrimp recipe.,,And of course, if youre observing Lent and looking for more seafood dishes, this is perfect. You can also check out all the Lenten-friendly dishes here for inspiration!,I like adding crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little heat, but I would leave this out for the kids.,Buy shrimp still frozen and defrost as needed. Most shrimp arrives at stores frozen so you may as well buy it frozen and defrost it as needed so it as fresh as possible.,To thaw frozen shrimp, transfer the shrimp to the refrigerator the night before or run under cool water to defrost quicker.,Honey Garlic Shrimp,Cilantro Lime Shrimp,Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets,Shrimp and Zucchini with Bowtie Pasta,Sheetpan Shrimp with Broccolini and Tomatoes
