Seafood Friday and Shrimp Deelish

The seafood man comes to our local Costco on Friday's and I can never resist getting either some of his shrimp, lobster or crab legs. Sometimes I'll get a variety. Friday just isn't Friday without a Costco seafood run! I want to share with you one of my most fave recipes. This one is by Rachel Ray and I've made it many times. You can find it over on http://www.foodtv.com/. It's rated 5 star and has loads of great reviews. It's a super fast dish to make and chill for a party. I like it warm with a few veggie's and pasta too! I hope you enjoy it. Also, since I'm always interested in food(lol), I would just love it if you shared a recipe with me that you like. I love trying new and easy recipes!



4 Minute Spicy Garlic Shrimp - Courtesy of Rachel Ray


2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed away from skin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
24 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails in tact, ask for easy peels at your fish counter
2 teaspoons grill or steak seasoning blend (recommended: Montreal Seasoning by McCormick) or coarse salt and pepper (I've only used the steak seasoning she recommended.)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, a handful

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, garlic, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper and cook shrimp 3 minutes or until just pink. Toss with lemon zest, juice and chopped parsley. Remove shrimp to a serving platter leaving the garlic cloves in the pan. (I don't worry about leaving the garlic in the pan. Me loves garlic. Yum, yum.)
