A couple nights ago, I was sitting around contemplating on what to make for dinner. It was one of those nights where going out to dinner seemed like a hassle and making a grocery trip was out of the question. I had a bunch of random vegetables and squash to get rid of before they went bad. I was in the mood for seafood, and luckily I had shrimp in the freezer.
I decided to make roasted vegetables with shrimp a homemade marinade. I have been big on making my own marinades lately. I love how fresh and natural they taste. I served this recipe over baked spaghetti squash and cottage cheese. This was a super fast recipe to make and tasted great leftover the next day. Next time I make this, I’m going to stuff it all in a bell pepper and bake! Creating new recipes never gets old!
Sometimes, I feel like a food artist.
