Saturday

Pork Roast

Baked Potatoes 

Green Beans

Sunday

This is a super easy recipe and you can thaw the shrimp in a bowl of cold water in less than 15 minutes.  So put the shrimp in to thaw before you go change your clothes from work. 

Shrimp Scampi

1 pkg (16 oz) frozen raw shrimp (31-35 per lb), thawed, peeled, and patted dry

1/3 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 Tbsp olive oil

4 Tbsp butter

2 cloves garlic, pressed

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Melt butter and mix with pressed garlic; set aside. Heat oil in a large fry pan (cast iron is best). Toss shrimp with flour and salt until coated, then add to heated oil. Cook shrimp on first side until pink color creeps about 1/3 of the way up the side, then turn over. Cook until thoroughly cooked through. Add butter and garlic mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently. Serve immediately over pasta.

Combine sour cream and jello powder, fold in cool-whip and then oranges. 

Monday
