First things first, I need everyone to drop everything they are doing and focus on only this for the next ten minutes, because it is absolutely mandatory that you understand the magic of this shrimp. This is my favorite new recipe, and I have made it twice within one week (and have another bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer to make it again)! It. Is. Revolutionary. Reasons: It no joke takes ...
Cajun Style Shrimp and Grits – Lightened Up
If you grew up in/have ever lived in/have ever visited the South, you know that shrimp and grits are just one of those thangs. Everyone knows what it is, everyone has had it, everyone loooooves it (if you don't...come live with me and let me feed you various shrimp and grits recipes until you do), and many people have their own favorite version. The best shrimp and grits I ever had while living in ...
Barley Fried Rice with Marinated Shrimp
Confession: I have a new love in my life. Don't tell my husband. It's barley. Oh, barley. Why didn't you come into my life sooner? Why have you waited this long to make your delicious presence known to me? I mean, yes. I knew you existed before, but I had only eaten you in canned soup (particularly Progresso Beef and Barley - holllaaaa). You have now become a very delicious part of my ...
Spicy Shrimp Bowls with Parmesan Quinoa and Garlic Kale
STAAHHPP with the kale. I know...I know...I'm sorry. It's the kale phase forcing my mind to only think of kale-inclusive recipes. The kale phase is still going strong, people. It's still going real strong. Can I tell you something that will clue you in on the craziness of my brain this week? I went grocery shopping after work today before I picked up Boone and headed home. Well, as I was ...

Baked Coconut Shrimp [21 Day Fix]
Coconut shrimp brings back happy, happy memories for me. There is this restaurant in Charlotte (and other places I'm sure), called Firebirds, and they have a-may-zing coconut shrimp. So, so, so, so, yummy. And I always had so much fun going there for various celebratory occasions (it's slightly fancy). Now, these aren't exactly like Firebird's because theirs have a good quarter inch of breading ...
Peanut Lime Shrimp
I'm not sure if you ever have these weeks, but the last three days have been so busy and exhausting that Seth and I just haven't had the time or energy to clean our apartment. So it got messy. Really messy. Especially the kitchen. And when I come home to a messy kitchen, it makes me just want to completely stay away from it and not cook (because that means I have to clean it first). And then ...
30 Minute Light Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Scampi traditionally uses a lot of butter and is eaten over pasta, so some might wonder if it is even possible to make a light version of this dish. Those people should definitely try this recipe...because it uses whole wheat pasta and only two tablespoons of butter, and you won't miss the traditional version one little bit! There is soo much flavor in this dish. And it only takes ...
