This may sound strange, but I actually cooked one of my husband's favorite foods for our Mother's Day dinner. He loves shrimp. And, since he is gone for work out of state for four days straight {Monday through Thursday} every week right now, I knew I wanted to do something while he was home with the shrimp I had purchased this weekend.
Don't worry - I was pampered throughout the day in other ways. Breakfast in bed. Foot rubs from the kids. Lots of homemade cards. And, a lot of household chores done by the kids and hubby {they even cleaned the bathroom and did all of the laundry}. It was a fabulous day.
Following this recipe will yield you perfectly-cooked, tender shrimp in an over-the-top, buttery garlic, lemon and herb sauce that screams out to bread for dipping. The shrimp and sauce are great served over pasta, too.
Serves 4.
