I love everything about the title of this : 10 minutes and lemon pepper with shrimp! Plus, I love recipes that I don’t need to use my toes to count the number of ingredients with! This looks like a perfect, quick and healthy weeknight dinner. Yum!
Shrimp’s on sale this week at our grocery store and I think I know what I’ll make with it! This simple, healthy meal looks so good, Tessa! I love lemon-pepper anything.
Yay, I just bought a big bag of shrimp and now I know what I’m making out of it. This dish looks wonderful: so fresh and delicious! Lemon pepper anything is a winner ; ) I hope you had such a lovely weekend! xx
This looks perfect for January, and only 10 mins 🙂
Lemon pepper shrimp is a favorite at our house! I love this variation!
Love how quick and easy this is! So delicious!
I have been addicted to The Good Wife for a couple months too. My husband and I watched a bunch of episodes over our holiday break and are getting close to caught up. I’ll miss being able to watch a few at a time.
Love how simple and easy this it!! Such a great meal!!
What a beautiful recipe!! Love!!
Love a quick and healthy meal like this! Perfect for these post-holiday diets!
You can’t go wrong with a 10 minute dinner, especially when it looks that good!!
Looks delicious!!! Is that rice or pasta you serve it with?
It’s orzo! Technically pasta but looks and kind of feels like rice 🙂
This looks wonderful! Gonna try it tonite but I have a question…..do you thaw the shrimp before cooking?
Yes, definitely.
I tried the recipe tonight and I liked the shrimp part but the plain pasta with it wasn’t very tasteful. How could I recreate this recipe to enhance the flavor of the pasta?
This was amazing! I had a pound of shrimp I had picked up on sale at Publix, and wanted to do something different with it. I used a lemon from my tree and the pepper. I do not salt my food when I am cooking for myself. I did not have fresh parsley so I opted out. This is literally some of the best shrimp I have ever had! Thanks for the healthy version.
