Super Easy Garlic Shrimp Scampi

-
Who doesn't love a good meal?

Especially when that meal is seafood! There is something about eating shrimp that makes me feel fancy, the zest of lemon, the scent of garlic, oh how I love it! Well my friends thanks to the handy app called Pinterest I discovered a shrimp scampi recipe that is so easy you don't have to be a culinary master to ace it. In traditional Jenna fashion there are minimum ingredients and the dish is quick to prepare! 

Here's what you will need:
- 2 Tablespoons of Butter
- 1 lb of Shrimp
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon of Garlic Salt
- 1 Lemon
- 1/2 Cup of Chicken Broth
- 2 Tablespoons of Parsley
- Parmesan Cheese
- 8 oz of Angelhair Pasta

Let's make some magic happen! 
1) Bring pasta to a boil in a large pot
2) Warm butter with medium heat in a large skillet
3) Add shrimp, garlic salt and additional salt/pepper to taste
4) Mix in lemon juice and chicken broth, heat until simmering
5) Toss in parsley and cheese
6) Combine your delightful shrimp mixture with pasta
7) Top with extra cheese and parsley if desired and enjoy! 

It's seriously that easy! I made this dish for Valentine's Day and I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing it turned out! The combo of lemon and chicken broth makes for a perfect (for lack of a better word) sauce bursting with 5 star flavor! Since we were celebrating the day of love I paired the shrimp scampi with broccoli, white wine and some cheesecake to top it off! I'm not going to lie I felt pretty accomplished after crafting such a masterpiece. 

If you enjoy cooking and have a soft spot for seafood I highly recommend you give this meal a whirl! I will provide a link to the original webpage in case you want to take a look!

Happy Cooking!

They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side. http://bit.ly/2E1Bx9I Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast!

Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the

The American Horror Story Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans' rich history made for the perfect setting for season three of AHS, Coven. From Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau to deranged mass murderer Delphine LaLaurie, these figures weren't just characters in a TV show, they were real people who lived out their days in The Big Easy and who left their mark on the city forever. Now, AHS did take a few artistic liberties, for example, Laveau and LaLaurie weren't sworn enemies, in fact, they weren't even alive during the same time period. But AHS also got some things right, in addition to crafting Gris-Gris bags for healing and good luck Marie Laveau really was a hairdresser and Delphine LaLaurie was indeed as dark and sinister as portrayed. If you find yourself in NOLA and want to do some Coven-inspired sight-seeing here are a few stops you won't want to miss.  Marie Laveau's Tomb  Nestled in the famed St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 , you'll need to join a tour group to experience this piece of living history as it&

My 100th Post

My 100th post, well this seems momentous.  A measly 100 blog entries may not seem like much to the seasoned writer but for me this feels like something worth celebrating. There are days I have the nagging feeling I should write more, but inspiration can be a tricky SOB. Luckily, there are also plenty of times when words begin to flow effortlessly from my fingertips creating some sort of wacky treat to be shared on this very domain.  https://static.tumblr.com/1df2ace841283819dd2d135a9375256f/kjwr8ge/HZYo0k4n4/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_80zqtbx2txs8wcs8woo0ksw8g_640.jpg My writing has undergone quite the metamorphosis. The literary version of Neville Longbottoming if you will. After completing two years of journalism school rereading my previous entries can legitimately be cringe inducing. Oh yes, there are grammatical eye-sores aplenty and I am totally guilty of pressing the "edit" button to atone for some of my past sins.  http://68.media.tumblr.com/0ccbdc
