    Easy Lemony Butter Shrimp Pasta

    This is probably one of our favorite meals during the busy work week.  So simple, affordable and delicious.

    Just a quick tip when buying shrimp: be sure to buy the most sustainable shrimp and look for certifications.  STAY AWAY from shrimp that has been peeled and deveined before freezing.  It can cause a loss of flavor and texture. What's the point of buying shrimp if we can't taste it, right?

      This sounds delicious. I would give this one a try but I don't think my husband would enjoy it. He isn't a huge fan of veggies.

      I love the flavors of lemon and butter with shrimp. I'm just too nervous to make it myself. Seafood and I have a love-hate relationship.
