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.
