Shrimp Lemon Pepper Linguini
It feels like all I’ve been writing about lately has been chicken, shrimp, and roasted vegetables. Yet when I look back, I noticed that I’ve thrown other random things in there: white chocolate brownies, homemade bagels, chunky cheesecake brownies, and scallops, to name a few. It still feels a little overkill on the three first-mentioned dishes, but hopefully the recipes are yummy enough that you won’t mind.
And now, I have yet another shrimp recipe for you. Though shrimp is rather delicious, and I know you agree, so again, I’m sure you won’t mind.
The pepper in this dish makes it quite spicy, so if you’re not a fan of spice, I’d recommend cutting back on that a bit. Otherwise, there’s not much else to report on. The title pretty much explains the recipe. Lemon, pepper, shrimp, linguini. Oh, and LOTS of garlic. I do heart my garlic. And my wine – which you’ll notice is always within arm’s reach.
P.S. Next up is yet another chicken dish, and another roasted vegetable dish. Obsess much?
P.P.S. I plan on making some biscotti this weekend, so hopefully that will shake things up a bit and get me out of this lull.
