I am participating in Titus Tuesdays and Tasty Tuesdays- Please check these wonderful sites out for more delicious recipes from fellow bloggers! YUM!
YUMMY! I will have to make that with my home made pasta….oh, my mouth is watering, now!
That is too funny! My seven yod's birthday is today and her favorite is shrimp scampi too–that is what is for dinner tonight with a strawberry cake and pots de creme. The girl has Bon Appetit taste…LOL! The only differenct in our recipes is I add a cup of white wine to the mix, adds a bit more flavor.
I LOVE some shrimp too so your son is NOT alone!! What an adorable pic to end with!! Hugs
Yummy! My 4 year old daughter loves it when I make shrimp alfredo 🙂 It's one of my favorite dishes too.
Lol, well I am glad we are not alone here ladies! Suzanne..you may laugh, but the town we live in is "dry"..meaning there is no alcohol sales! No wine to be found at my local grocery store, lol. I guess Ill just add more butter! HAHAHA!!!!
Oh MAN!! I wish this was posted this morning before I went to the store! lol Can't wait to try it. And love the pic of "G" 🙂
Yum! I love shrimp scampi and am always looking for good recipes for it. Excited to try this one.
Okay Janelle, I have never heard of such a thing! Good grief if I couldn't use cooking wine in some of my recipes I don't know what I would do! Now, if you need some , I will ship it to you…LOL!
He's not picky…he's just got discriminating taste 😉

I have to ask a silly question. We aren's shrimp eaters here–I'm always afraid of eating the wrong part–Do you eat the tail and all? That's not my main question. I'm wondering if shrimp were healthy? I mean should we TRY to eat more shrimp? I've heard that seafood is good for you. On the other hand I've heard that shrimp are on the bottom of the food chain and aren't the best for us. This doesn't stop me from eating brownies, cookies…etc. I'm not a whole "health-nut" but wondered if it's something we should "acquire" a taste for. Thanks. It looks delicious.
Anonymous, that is not a silly question! When I purchase shrimp, I buy it deveined, out of it's shell..no tails..it is edible as is..I purchase it behind the counter at my grocery store…Shrimp is low in calories and fat-so it certainly is not the worst food you can eat…however I would not encourage you to force yourself to eat it for health purposes alone…there are far too many other foods that would be worth the extra effort if you were looking for health benefits. If you enjoy seafood, than have at it..but if not, no worries 🙂 Thank you for your question! Love to you, Janelle
So this is my second recipe I have tried of yours and I honestly thought, no way this can be a hit as well. I was so wrong, my husband and I loved this!!! Not sure yet about my son but he will try when he gets a little older. I made it exactly as written and it has now become a staple in this house along with your crescent chicken. Tomorrow night, your meatloaf. Can’t wait!!!
