Garlic & Black Pepper Shrimp

This is probably the 4th time I’ve attempted this recipe. I even have a note next to the old recipe: NO GO (b/c I wrote it off in frustration!).

However, I gave it another shot as my dietician has me upping my seafood dinners to twice weekly so I need more recipe options than I currently use.

Tonite I used the old recipe as inspiration only and combined it w/ another recipe also used as inspiration only. And… the outcome was GOLD!

Served w/ my Garlic Sautéed Spinach and a 50/50 blend drizzled w/ Champagne vinaigrette.

TIP: You can sub any size shrimp you want. This is just over 1/2 lb of shrimp.
