Came home & cooked dinner. This is a recipe i found in my recent issue of Family Circle. It was absolutely delicious. And super easy to make.
SHRIMP SCAMPI BAKE
makes 4(-ish) servings
1 cup uncooked white rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (9 ounces) frozen asparagus cuts, thawed

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pound fresh or frozen cleaned shrimp, thawed if frozen

2.) In a medium saucepan, combine rice, 2 1/4 cups water & 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover & reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 20 minutes. Uncover & stir in asparagus pieces. Cover & set aside.
3.) Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic & cook, stirring, for two minutes. Meanwhile, whisk wine, lemon juice, & cornstarch together in a measuring cup or bowl.

That looks delicious! I love shrimp scampi! We usually just cook the shrimp on the grill, but grilling days are becoming fewer with the colder weather. I will definitely be trying this! Thanks for sharing!
