 This is going to crack you up! Of all things, my 7-year-old loves shrimp! It is his absolute favorite thing to eat! Trust me, we have to limit his intake because…. well, shrimp can cost a pretty penny! I’d like to share with you my Little Guy’s favorite dinner… Shrimp Scampi (Oh, help me! lol)
 
Start with large, fresh, peeled and deveined shrimp (uncooked)- rinse with cold water in colander
Get the rest of your ingredients ready: Butter, lemons, pasta, garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper
Melt butter and oil over medium heat

In another large pot, boil water with a Tbsp of olive oil- add pasta and cook until tender.

  2. Aw, bless him! When I was about 7, I loved shrimp, too. We only got them as a special treat when my grandparents came to visit, but I remember my grandfather steaming shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. I loved it, and this looks pretty fantastic, too!

  3. HI Courtney- I made your sausage sandwiches last Sunday. What a great meal to have waiting in the crockpot after church. This shrimp dish just as tasty!
