Shrimp Scampi with Linguini

I'm in trouble now! I LOVE Shrimp Scampi but have never tried it until tonight. With this rainy weather I made a Orange Pound Cake, recipe coming soon, and Shrimp Scampi with Linguini for supper and I think we are hooked! I know I will be making this a lot in the future.

Shrimp Scampi with Linguini

Ingredients:
1 pound linguini, (I used gluten free but regular is fine)
4 TBS butter
2 TBS extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 lg or 3 sm green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional (I'll use more next time)
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
 Sea Salt and Ground black pepper
1/4 cup chicken broth
Juice of 1 lemon
2 TBS parsley flakes

Directions:
For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of dashes of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onions, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the onions are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.

Gluten Free Apple Crumb Dessert

Recently I had some apples that were going bad, I decided to make something with them instead of throwing them out and I'm so glad I did.  What do you do with your over ripe apples?

This turned out great a moist apple pie like inside with a crunchy topping. YUM

Gluten Free Apple Crumb Dessert
4 cups chopped apples
1 box of your favorite gluten free yellow cake mix
2 TBS Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 TBS Cinnamon
1/2 TSP Nutmeg 
3/4 cup butter, melted 
 
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all dry ingredients except for cake mix and set to the side. Peel and chop apples toss the lemon juice as you go. Mix apples with premixed dry ingredients. Put apples in a 9x9 cake pan. Sprinkle yellow cake mix on top. Pour melted butter over cake mix.

Bake until brown and bubbly
