This Parmesan Shrimp Dip is very simple, incredibly delicious, and perfect for a casual family night. It’s creamy, cheesy and loaded with chopped shrimp.
We had a tough work week around here, I won’t go into any specifics but we needed some time to relax a have a little fun. Hubby invited his friend over and decided to order us pizza. Day off from cooking! I like it when he invites his friends over because they are so appreciative of my cooking.
I think hubby is a little spoiled with the great meals and doesn’t make as many yummy noise as his friends. How else is a cook supposed to know that she made something delicious without the yummy noise? So I decided to make something quick and easy for an appetizer.
I really didn’t feel like having pizza, I wanted shrimp! You know how sometimes you go out to eat and some appetizers look so good, you just make a meal out of it? I do that all the time. I also make myself easy seafood when I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s dinner. Hubby doesn’t like seafood, so it was all mine….well his friend helped.

I make weekly meal plans, and shop a few days before the week, buy fresh meat for the next day meal. sometimes I double a recipe for example a new product I’m loving is spouted brown rice. It keeps well for days in fridge. One day I use it as a side dish, the next day might be stir fry or add it to soup etc. I also like to make smoothies with frozen fruit and blend it the night before and everyone has one next day for work snack, breakfast etc. I also purchased up first CSA share last year and have purchased one for this year as well. It’s a great thing to do for the family as you get fresh veggies (or if lucky where you live fruits too) each week. You may get something you haven’t used before or tried, so it gets you experimenting and trying new things. Also time saver for me is going to our butcher and getting meat packed in smaller amounts. OR getting two pounds of fresh ground beef from them and browsing all of it. Then dividing it up for half for that night supper meal and half for next night. I love when I have some of my meal ready, like the brown rice or the meat is cooked, then incase you don’t have a meal planned ( or change your mind) the possibilities are easier and quicker.

I like to cut up onions and green peppers ahead of time and freeze them, that way if I only need a bit I don’t have to worry about the rest spoiling.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
