Mediterranean Shrimp and Feta

You’ll need: 2lbs of shrimp, EVOO, garlic, dill, black olives, feta and marinara {I use my from-scratch marinara.}

Prep Time: 10-15 minutes

~ Coat the bottom of a baking dish with the EVOO. Add to it a dash of dill and 2-3 medium cloves of garlic.

~ Add the shrimp to the baking dish and mix around in the EVOO and dill until the shrimps are coated. While you can leave the tails on, I prefer to remove the tails before baking. The best way to remove tails from shrimp is to squeeze and pull the base of the tail from the meat.

~ Ladle enough marinara over the shrimp to thoroughly coat them.

~ Sprinkle sliced black olives and feta crumbles over the pan from end to end.

~ Bake at 425 for 20 minutes; serve over pasta and amaze your family!

The Best Alfredo in the World!*
…and it’s super easy to make, too 😉

You’ll need: 1/2 cup butter, 2 cups heavy cream, 3 large garlic cloves, 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Prep Time: 10 minutes

~ Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat.

~ Add the cream, garlic and cheese and whisk quickly until the butter and cheese has been melted. Be careful not to get the sauce too hot because it can burn in the bottom of the saucepan.

~ Stir in parsley and serve. {The picture at the top shows the finished sauce served with chicken and linguine.}

*Normally I’m not a big fan of alfredo sauces. I think they are thick and disgusting. THIS SAUCE, on the other hand, is wonderful! It’s thin and flavorful. I’m a fan! This is the only alfredo sauce I’ll ever eat again.
