Tasty Tuesday: Lovin’ Me Some Lemon
This weekend was all about my love for lemon. If you hate lemon this post is NOT for you! I don’t know why my taste buds were going crazy for something tart & tasty…but I’m glad they were. I made something new and it turned out wonderfully yummy.
I boiled up some spaghetti, adding in some chopped broccoli to the water during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Then I prepared the shrimp over the stove. The shrimp was drizzled with olive oil & seasoned with a mixture of salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic, lemon juice and sauteed in a shallow pool of butter.
Toss the pasta together with equal parts of lemon juice, cooking liqued from the pasta and parmesan cheese and season with additional salt & pepper. Yum is the only word. Served family style so everybody could dig right in.
Top all that lemony goodness off with a sweet lemon cake baked to a lucious consistency and you have a lemon extravaganza. It was a good not only a good meal, it was a really good weekend! 
1) I’m crazy about LEMONS. Actually I’m obsessed with lemons so this post is sooo for me.
2) I love how you showed the whole recipe this time!
3) I’m glad it was good weekend.
Thanks Jen. I am obsessed with lemons too. Always have been! Those and pickles and even pickle juice. I know…I am a freak. What can I do? lol. The recipe addition was for Sue! You both know I don’t measure so doing a “recipe” is tough!
Seems to be a theme – we had pasta this past weekend to0 – I did my ragu bologonese, but now I am thinking shrimp over pasta for next weekend. The lemon and shrimp always make for a good combo! Yummy!
Yeah Heather! Great post! Love the tantalizing photos of a spectacular recipe. This looks like something I could handle. I’ll have to try it when I get back home.
Glad you had a good weekend!
Psst. I think we have the same dishes. Now, isn’t that a hoot!
I’ve actually printed this out and am going to try it out over the weekend. I’ll have to use prawns and not shrimps of course
I eat lemons all the time…absolutely love them!!!! Wonderful pix..of wonderful foods. Inspiring!!!!
Jason~I could live on pasta…if it wasn’t for all the darn calories!
Sue~I knew you’d like the recipe addition to this post.
Which dishes are the same, the black & brown trimmed ones? How cool is that. I knew we had similar taste!
