CEiMB: Garlic Basil Shrimp
I have been horribly neglecting my food clubs. But hopefully, for the time being anyway, I can get back to making my weekly Ellie recipes.
This recipe was chosen by Tea and Scones, and I didn't hesitate for a second when I saw what we were making. Garlic. Basil. Shrimp. Just looking at those three words makes me happy!
It's just as good as it sounds, and incredibly quick and easy to make. The flavors are so fresh and clean that you'll just feel healthier by eating it, without losing on an ounce of flavor.
I served this with an orzo that I cooked al dente, and then added big handfuls of chopped spinach and feta cheese. A bit of salt and pepper and you have the perfect side dish.

Super dish. Ellie does it again. I just love how something with so much flavor can come together so quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great.
How was the feta in the orzo? :) Looks like a delicious, healthy meal!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would be in love with this shrimp! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, all my favorite ingredients in one dish and so simple to fix! I love garlic and basil together. They are a perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteI love both the main and the side dish! Perfect pairing.
ReplyDeleteI like the garlic shrimp, but I'm all about the orzo with the spinach and feta:D Orzo is one of my favorite pasta shapes. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The shrimp dish is a perfect pairing with the orzo (yum, with spinach and feta).

YUp, I got happy when I read those words too and we LOVE orzo pasta!
