    I personally like to purchase shrimp with the shells on, then use the shells as a wonderful flavor enhancer. You can simply put shells in a saucepan with one and half cup of white wine, simmer until the liquid reduced by half, then simply add the white wine broth to a skillet for more sauce.

    Hope you'll enjoy this Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi recipe!

      My meal prep starts with a dinner list that I make on Sunday for the week. We shop on Monday and I like to get it all in one trip. Sometimes we'll have to swing my the marked mid week for fresh ingredients, but for the most part the vegetables we buy at the beginning of the week last until the end. Normally, I'll prepare some of the ingredients for the week on Monday and we always plan to incorporate leftovers into future meals...although it doesn't happen often. I've got portion size down to a science!

        Hi Zwitsal, how about arugula? add cooked pasta, arugula, and parsley to the pan. Toss to combine, add salt/pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and serve!
