Рецепт Lemon Shrimp
Lemon Shrimp
Going into the weekend with a well-stocked refrigerator makes for more relaxing time on the couch and since I’m in the middle of three books that I’m thoroughly enjoying (see note below), I’m going to make this shrimp for the weekend. This nicely seasoned shrimp is a good appetizer or lunch paired with a nice cheese and sliced artisanal bread, or a good salad (put a spoonful on a leaf of Bibb lettuce and surround with sliced tomatoes, olives and a few crumbles of goat cheese).
*The books are Double Down by Mark Helper in, A Fierce Radiance by Lauren Belfer, and 61 Hours by Lee Child. A political biography, an historical fiction and a Jack Reacher thriller—nice, light, perfect weekend reading.
