Spice Up Your Lenten Fridays with this Fast, Flavorful Meatless Friday Clean Shrimp Recipe! Hey there, Lenten foodies! It’s your favorite fun-loving nutrition and health coach, Coach Michele Smits, let’s crush your meatless Fridays with a mouthwatering easy Lenten dinner that’ll have you saying, “Meat what?”
I know during lent we can all fall into the trap of fish fries or cheese pizza on Friday. I mean…who doesn’t enjoy a good fish fry during this time of year? I know I do, but for those nights when you just want to cook something healthy, at home, clean and fast…. I got you, Boo! This simple, quick and healthy shrimp recipe will shake up your Friday night meal rotation for the win!
Before we get to the recipe, I will share with you that when my kids became ill, with ME/CFS, I ditched my traditional non-stick pans because of the harmful chemicals and switched to safer options such as stainless steele and non stick ceramic. Here are the two sets we use and love everyday…..I especially love my ceramic set. Not only are they toxic chemical free cookware, they are super easy to clean (a huge win for busy peeps like us!), but they also distribute heat evenly. That and their pretty color make it wonderful to cook with. Pro Tip….watch you flame to make sure it’s not coming up to the handle. Unfortunately we did that…(Facepalm) #ads
Alright, now onto the main event – the shrimp dish that’ll have a delicious dinner on the table FAST! Although my Jeff is not a chef, he knocks this one out of the part park, every single time!
