Valentines Day–Shrimp Scampi with Linguine

February 6, 2017 by Tonja 1 Comment

We opt to stay in most years for our Valentine’s dinner–especially when it falls on a busy weekday.  We lock our kids in their bedrooms and threaten them with parent make-out sessions in the kitchen if they come down (that usually does the trick).

Shrimp Scampi is a romantic yet simple dish that comes together in literally less than 30 minutes.  The flavors of garlic, butter, lemon, and white wine are splendid and create a memorable dish that you can linger over.  Happy Valentines Day.  Now go get your kissy face on.
