Lightened-Up Shrimp Scampi #SundaySupper

Lightened-Up Shrimp Scampi 

A small part of me still misses having my kids at home. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they are healthy, happy and thriving because that’s what you want your kids to do. They are at the age now where they have their own kids and responsibilities. My role for the last 12 years has been to love and enjoy my grand kids; and what fun we have. I see my daughter and daughter-in-law handle their children, their households and careers with such grace and determination, I am so proud.

Today we are celebrating Mother’s Day at the #SundaySupper club. Our Tastemakers are bringing you their favorite special Mother’s Day meal that they would like to be served. When I think back to what my mom would like and then “my daughters,” and myself; my Lightened-Up Shrimp Scampi would be the “one” meal. Some of the recipes on-line actually used one to two sticks of butter, I used one tablespoon along with a little olive oil and this was delicious.

This week the host of the #SundaySupper Movement group is Amy from,  "MyWorldSimplified", thank you Amy! Today’s event is all about making a special meal for “Mom”.

Happy Mother's Day!
