Easy Shrimp Scampi comes together in just 5 minutes. Loads of buttery, garlicky goodness.
It only seems fair to ease in to the new year with a 5 minute recipe. You guys went bonkers over Shrimp Scampi Dip last year. You love Quick Garlic Shrimp, and you also liked Shrimp Scampi Flatbread (although there are a few readers that really like to lay on the thick snark about how to use tail-on shrimp – thanks for the tips *cough*).
So I thought we should at least one time make the real deal.
Actual shrimp scampi.
Easy Shrimp Scampi.
Staying true to myself here, I made us a dish loaded with butter and wine instead of a green smoothie or whatever. In truth? I don’t love green smoothies. Annnd I don’t understand smoothie bowls even a little bit. Like… is it basically just yogurt with toppings?
Can you still use a straw? WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE BOWL AND THE SPOON?
Obviously I have resolved to do some deep thinking in 2017.
Have you all made resolutions? Do you do that? Or do you do make them in secret because having resolutions and then breaking them is completely cliché? I’m over here walking with feet in both camps.
I love the idea of new year, fresh start, let’s break out the planner and get all the colored markers.
But I HATE when I screw it all up and get in that okay – tomorrow… okay wait – next week pattern. Resolutions are PRESSURE, man. So I don’t like to start out saying that I will not eat cake this year, because we all know that’s a bunch of foolish nonsense.
I did decide to start out this year with a few commitments to all of you (that I am keeping secret right now because of the pressure we talked about. Don’t hate me), a promise to practice yoga everyday because it makes me feel human and also makes me feel less terrible about the amount of time I sit at my desk.
I’ve also promised myself that we will find a nice balance between butter, wine, cake, and salads. Bring it, 2017.
