New recipes

Well, I stink! I wanted to use this to post about recipes I found online, but I have made several different recipes and have not blogged about them. So here I am. :)

I found a recipe for Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi. It was super easy and tasted really good. I did change the recipe a bit. I did not have any wine and I was serving some church members so I opted to try it out with sparkling grape juice. I did not like the grape juice it gave the shrimp a sweet-ish flavor that I did not like.

Ingredients:

• Red lobster shrimp Scampi shopping list
• 1 cup white wine shopping list
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter. (do not use margarine) shopping list
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic shopping list
• parsley shopping list
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions:

• Bake at 350 degree oven for about 6 to 7 minutes. YOU CAN SAUTE THIS ON TOP OF THE STOVE INSTEAD OF IN THE OVEN
• Be careful not to overcook the Shrimp. The shrimp is done when it has turned pink

I also used the pre-cooked shrimp instead of fresh shrimp, simply because I could not fathom the idea of "deveining" the shrimp. I did find another recipe that claims to be "straight from the master chef himself, Michael LaDuke." You can find the other recipe here: http://shrimpscampirecipe.org/


I paired this with a recipe that I found for Olive Garden Fettucine Alfredo.

This was a really good recipe. I did not change anything with this. It tasted really good. I could not get the cream sauce to be really smooth, it had some chunks of cheese. I may not have used the correct pan, but it did taste good. I served this to some people from the church and they loved it.

I am going to try to keep up on this. Just for myself, cuz I am terrible at keeping up on a diary or now a blog. lol
