Shrimp Scampi (w/ garlic bread) for your quick dinner

Tired from a long day? This quick shrimp scampi with garlic bread is my go-to weeknight dinner for when I’m short on time. I’m always looking for simple dinner ideas that don’t take forever to make. This one-pan meal is a go-to in our house, and the garlic bread is non-negotiable!

Tonight’s week night, so we’re putting together a quick shrimp scampy. Are you ready? After a long day of work, juggling the toddler, and trying to remember if I’ve fed the dogs, the last thing I want is a complicated dinner. I needed some inspiration. And I found it a few weeks ago at an Italian fusion restaurant. They served a shrimp scampy in a tiny cast iron pan, and I thought that’s the vibe. Simple, cool, and a little elegant. I made my annual pilgrimage to REI to grab my own mini cast iron pan. This is the kind of dish that says, I made this with love, but also I’m only using one pan. It’s a lifesaver on a night like this. And for a kid whose favorite food group is carbs, Gemma loves to eat seafood. So, I’m just hoping that she’ll take at least one bite of this savory shrimp. Which one you want to try first? Good. What are the odds that you try a shrimp? You don’t want it? No. All right. I’m going to try a shrimp. Oh, yeah. The lemon, the garlic, the white wine. Here, you can take the bread. I’ll take the shrimp. You want one? Good boy. Can I poke you? Mhm.
