Ready in just about 35 minutes, this easy shrimp recipe feels special enough for date night but simple enough for a weeknight dinner.
Before I shared this recipe many years ago, I’ve spend months working on the perfect way to make shrimp meatballs. Ever since I made my shrimp burgers, I wanted to make a shrimp meatball recipe as well. I love cooking and eating shrimp and I always try to find fun and creative ways to cook shrimp.
I was experimenting with different flavors and to make sure the texture was perfect. In the end, I settled on the shrimp scampi flavors because it’s so classic and goes beautifully with shrimp. Needless to say, this is the recipe I go back to over and over still!
