Easy Recipe: Shrimp Scampi

in easy recipes, families, food, latinos, parenting on

Before moving to Florida this year, I was part of playgroup called The Joy Troupe in the Washington D.C. Metro area.  For the past several years, the Moms within Joy Troupe create a cookbook that is sold locally and on Amazon.com.  Last year’s cookbook was called Tummy Full of Joy: The Busy Mama’s Guide to Quick Kitchen Fixes and it featured my submitted pictures, advertisement for my Washington D.C. Examiner column, and recipe for Shrimp Scampi.

I have always been a fan of seafood–probably because my mother ate frequent amounts of lobster while pregnant with me–which would also attribute to me weighing 11 lbs. when I was born! 🙂  What I like about this recipe is that its a good base recipe for Shrimp Scampi.  It can be customized to taste and hot white rice can be substituted instead of linguine.
