Creamy Mediterranean Shrimp

---

The lack of dining out in 2020 has me wishing for something. . . ​

I desperately miss {actually} going to local restaurants, trying out new menu items, & delighting over beautiful plating & rich flavor. We still do our share of supporting local businesses through carry-out. BUT a nice meal doesn't taste the same in a plastic container, nor does it hold the same appeal. Once you have exhausted your options for meal delivery & run through your go-to recipes at home there isn't much left! I had to make something beyond my comfort zone. . . because I am bored. Call it an ode to a former life of frequent dining out.

Sometimes new recipes simply pop into my head at odd times. I will have a specific ingredient & {while driving home} I suddenly know how to use it. I can't explain it! Any who. . . . that is how this Creamy Mediterranean Shrimp recipe came about. It all started with a can of coconut milk. Which turned into the most DELIGHTFUL savory dish I have had in months. The flavors all combine into something so spectacular that you will be licking the pan. No shame. There is a perfect balance of creamy {coconut milk} , rich {shrimp} & tarte {lemon}.

Brandon and I wanted more the following night for dinner & the next. Editing the photos of the dish made my mouth water over & over. IT'S THAT GOOD! I certainly feel like it is restaurant quality. What a perfect dish to make for your significant other, family or yourself! Plus it takes about 30 minutes. :)

​If you're not a fan of shrimp you can easily substitute chicken {adjust cooking time}. If you have never used coconut milk before don't be afraid! It is a very mild flavor that melds into whatever other ingredients you add. It gives the dish a nice creaminess without the dairy.

HINT: The secret to tender yet crispy shrimp is high heat with melted butter. Don’t forget to season well. Cook on high for a short amount of time. Perfect shrimp every time!
