Garlic Prawns...

Helloooo Monday! 

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Here's another recipe I've been meaning to post for awhile...Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 pound raw shrimp tail on
1/4 cup olive oil
2 lemons, juiced and divided
5-6 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped plus more for garnish
1 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (I opted out)
6 tbsp salted butter
1/2 tsp pepper

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Here's another one I found on IG, and have added it to my recipe box. I love pairing this when I have a Mediterranean feast. Or enjoy it alone with pita or rice.

Directions:
1. Add the shrimp in a ziplock bag or medium size bowl.
2. Add olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, 1 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley, flour, cayenne pepper and pepper.
3. Toss well to combine, and marinate in fridge for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
4. Heat a large skillet on medium heat. 
5. Once hot add shrimp, be sure to add the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
6. Saute the shrimp until pink, 2-3 minutes on each side.
7. Remove the shrimp from skillet and set aside, leaving only the garlic.
8. Add butter and 1 tsp pepper to skillet.
9. Cook the garlic until it becomes caramelized and golden brown(watch out because left to long it will just get burnt).
10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp of chopped parsley and juice of 1/2 of a lemon.

Enjoy! Hope you love it as much as I do!

Humpday Happenings...Nuba and IG

I had a craving for hummus and after a google search I found Nuba, 

Najib's Special
Chicken Tanook

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Happy to report my cravings were sated. I enjoyed the chicken tanook platter for the variety, and also ordered a side of tzatziki(not shown). I would pass on the najib's special, but worth a try for first timers(all my friends raved about it, I found it too burnt tasting).
