Tilapia Shrimp Scampi – A Recipe to Welcome Spring!
What better springtime recipe than some fresh tasting fish and seafood like my Tilapia Shrimp Scampi? This recipe evolved from the fact that I wanted to make shrimp scampi, but didn’t have enough shrimp left to make a whole meal for 4 people. So I incorporated a few pieces of tilapia I also had on hand and voila!
This has actually become one of the most popular pages found on my main Thrown-Together-Meals.com website from search engine traffic. Seems quite a few people are actually searching for tilapia shrimp scampi! Who knew?
The recipe has traditional flavors of scampi, including lemon juice, wine, butter and garlic. I have usually served it with steamed white or brown rice and a steamed broccoli and zucchini mixture. But it’d also be good with angel hair pasta and asparagus, if you want it to be more spring-y.
To get this Tilapia Shrimp Scampi recipe, just click the link. You can also find other fish and seafood recipes on the main site… or share your own recipe there. Or… if you know of a great fish/seafood cookbook, tell me about it here.
I hope you enjoy this! … And feel free to “hop” on over to Recipe Lion to see other contributions to their March Spring Blog Hop, won’t you:
Egg Tacos Deluxe – Breakfast Tacos for Dinner
I have two adult daughters, both of whom live in Austin. I try to visit as often as I can. It always seems like our visits revolve around food… generally Tex Mex kind of food, because that’s what they eat, more often than not. When they first moved there, it was the design your own burritos at a place called FreeBirds. Later, it was Texas beef brisket barbecue at Rudy’s and other places. We’ve also had good Texas steak at a few different locations.
But lately, what my girls have adopted as a regular habit is what they call breakfast tacos. We have something similar here in Boise that we call breakfast burritos, but the Texas variety is definitely better! The place they go to the most makes their own tortillas and are they ever good… and fresh, of course.
So anyway, I was thrilled recently when one of my readers added a recipe for egg tacos on the site. Perfect!
This version is a bit different, but it could still form the basis of something wonderful. If you want to check it out for yourself, go to the Egg Tacos recipe page on my main site. After you get there, you may want to look at our other egg recipes or even share one of your own very special recipes. Either way, I’m happy to have you!
