shrimp scampi

Can’t go wrong with the classic shrimp scampi. It’s traditional for a reason.

You can eat it over pasta, with a side of rice, or just by itself.

It’s everyone’s favorite, which is why i include it as a honorable mention for my feast of seven fishes. It’s a great crowd pleaser, if you have less adventurous seafood eaters.
