As our girls grow older and they are off to their own lives or activities, sometimes it's just my husband and I. We realize that all too soon, it will just be us and 'dinner for two' will have a whole new meaning. It's hard when you are used to cooking for a crowd or just for a family of five to begin to convert that cooking in to smaller batches.
Last night while our youngest was at church, I quickly created this easy Shrimp Parmesan that we really enjoyed. I used precooked shrimp that I thawed quickly in the sink in a colander and along with some squash cooked in 1/4 cup Zesty Italian Salad Dressing and water from last year's garden we had a impressive looking dinner that didn't cause me to spend too much time in the kitchen. On weeknights and especially when I get to spend some quality adult time with my husband, I would rather not be over a hot stove.
So whether you're cooking for one, two or even three because last minute Audrey just had to have some when she got in from church . . . this meal is a snap to throw together! It's also easy enough for the newest cook to make to impress that boyfriend or husband! Hint, hint!
And remember, who said cooking had to be hard?
