Looking for a recipe that is delicious, easy to make but can be served for a special occasion like Valentine's Day, birthdays and more! Say hello to our Shrimp Scampi recipe. It's what I'll be making for my family for our Valentine's dinner, I will actually be making it with shrimp and one with chicken as my daughter so far hasn't developed the taste for enough seafood yet. I'm hoping she will eventually get there but in the meantime this recipe whether it's with chicken or shrimp is divine in my opinion. When you switch out the pasta for my personal favorite brown rice past it becomes gluten-free too, bam just like that.
What do you think, doesn't that look yummy? I can't wait to have it again, I might not be able to wait until Valentine's Day. Speaking of Valentine's Day make sure to check out our other Valentine's Day themed recipes that really are good for any time of the year. We're just saying Valentine's Day right now because that's what's coming up and what I'm going to make next week LOL. Here's one to start how about our Caramel Mocha which can be a Caramel Hot Chocolate for the kids, after all we don't need kids on caffeine do we? Check it out HERE.
Now on to this Shrimp Scampi that can be done with chicken and can be gluten-free too recipe. Whew that was a mouthful.

I could live on shrimp, and while I don't have issues with gluten, other family members sometimes do. Thanks for the gluten-free version of one of my favorite dishes.

I like shrimp, but not so much prepared this way. I like it either plain, or breaded with co*cktail sauce. I'm a picky eater. I'm sure that I'm missing out on several great dishes because of it.
