Delicious Shrimp Scampi with White wine & butter sauce, in under 30 minutes… My personal recipe.

No Comments

If you know me… you know that Italian food or similar is my weakness.  One of my favorite dishes is my Shrimp Scampi with White Wine and butter sauce.  It is not only delicious, tastes naughty and is… did I say Delicious – it can be made in under 30 minutes which is perfect for a Mother who is trying to cook a hearty meal in a short amount of time.  I had all of the ingredients I needed either in my freezer, fridge or pantry.  Since I had to defrost the shrimp and lobster as well as clean each – it did take longer than 30 minutes for me.  But, if you go to your local grocery and get them all cleaned and fresh – you’ll have a 30 minute meal on the table and ready to eat quickly.  My children love pasta – it’s fun to eat and let me tell you, this particular one smells divine.  This is an all time fav in our house and while it may have some naughty ingredients, it is really not as bad as you think.  Ingredients & video tutorial below.

If you are unable to eat seafood or want to substitute them out – you can add chicken breasts for a healthier version.  When cooking up the chicken breast, cook them up with some EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) first.  Do not initially cook in butter like I did with the seafood.  This way – it will not be so heavy.  If you want to use butter to cook the chicken, that would be great too.  You can also substitute with Mahi Mahi (fish) or other white fish.

Ingredients / Supplies needed:

    • 1 Box Linguini Noodles
    • 25 – 30 Peeled and De-vained White shrimp
    • 1 Lobster Tail (remove the meat from the tail)
    • 1 -2 Tablespoons Capers
    • 5-6 Sundried tomatoes
    • Garlic Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder and Italian Seasoning – all to taste
    • 1 – 1.5 blocks of butter
    • 1-2 cups of your favorite white wine, I used Chardonnay
    • 1 whole lemon or you can substitute for lemon concentrate – you will use approximately 1/4 of a cup (or to taste)
  • 1 Sauteed Pan to sauteed your main ingredients
  • 1 pot to boil your pasta

Come and Cook with Me my famous homemade Guacamole

1 Comment

Nothing says “Summer Months” like an awesome Homemade chunky Guacamole.  Mines is pretty famous… or at least in our family and I’m requested to make it along with my homemade salsa (tutorial coming soon) for Family Gatherings, parties or for pot luck.  Believe it or not… as awesome as it tastes, it is very simple to use and takes a minimum amount of ingredients.  You can even make your own homemade tortilla chips (which I love to make too) and they are healthy because I bake them. 🙂  The tortillas were not affordable when I went to the market, so I used packaged chips instead… nonetheless, it still tasted delicious.  Pair your homemade guacamole with your favorite bean dip (I love my hubbies homemade 7 layer dip) and salsa with your favorite chips and you’ll certainly have a party in your mouth.  The supplies that are needed are listed below and the video tutorial listed below as well.  Happy Cooking.  If you try the recipe – let me know. 😉
