Hello 5 Minutes for Moms readers! It is Shari here from Sincerely Jean.
My sisters and I LOVE quick and easy dinner recipes. We actually have a FREE eCookbook “30 5-Ingredient Dinner Recipes” that you can download HERE.
Today I am bringing you an easy 5 ingredient shrimp scampi recipe. This one is not in our cookbook. You can think of it as a little bonus recipe.
I absolutely love shrimp scampi! You can’t beat the delicious combination of garlic, butter, lemon, and shrimp. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It is my favorite seafood dish.
I especially love this recipe because it is so quick and easy. You doesn’t love easy dinner recipes?
I feel like life just keeps getting busier and busier. All you need to make this dish is five ingredients and about 20 minutes.
You will have a delicious dinner ready for you and your family in no time.

I love shrimp scampi, never realized how easy it was to make! Thanks for the recipe.

The sauce was rather thin at first, so I found that I had to simmer it a bit longer than the recipe called for. Keeping it on medium-low heat for a few minutes helped thicken it up nicely before tossing in the pasta! Here’s the recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/famous-red-lobster-shrimp-scampi-393523
