Lemon Shrimp Scampi

 Let me just pat myself on the back and say, this is a WONDERFUL recipe. MMMMM. Who needs olive garden when this is SO good and SO easy to make at home!

 What you will need:
 2 pounds of shrimp, peeled and cleaned out, no one wants to eat icky. (make sure its well dried)
 1/3 cup butter, use real butter, its worth it
 Juice from one lemon, and zest from one lemon
 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
 salt and pepper to taste
 2Tbs Grated Parm. cheese
 parsley, chopped
 veggies of your choice cut small and uniform shape

 (I like to use, asparagus, zucchini, snow peas, red pepper, mushrooms, the sky is the limit really)

So once your shrimp is cleaned get your butter in a pan and get it warm.
Add the garlic and the lemon juice and lemon zest, let it cook a while, until it starts to smell nice... MMM garlic.
 Now add in your veggies, if they are ones that need some time to cook, say carrots, you might even want to steam them first. Once they are nearly to the tenderness you want.... Add your shrimp, it wont take long to cook! When it turns from grey, to pink, its done! sprinkle with salt and pepper to your taste.

 Remove from heat, and add your cheese on top and some parsley to garnish.

 You can toss this shrimp over angel hair pasta, or over rice pilaf, or heck just eat it alone, its shrimp and its veggies! We eat this with a nice big salad and its a meal. YUMMERS.
