Quick and delicious weeknight meals
Here’s a very tasty and easy shrimp dish. The recipe is basically a spicy version of shrimp scampi. It’s very simple and fresh tasting. I didn’t make any changes to the dish other than adding some freshly grated pecorino romano to the panko mixture. Serve …
Here is a healthy, vegetarian dinner option for those of you trying to keep to your New Year’s resolutions. I was a little skeptical of this recipe but then I read the reviews on the Food Network site and they were all raves! The sauce …
