Submitted by Laura Narbut


About the cook: My name is Laura and I've been married for 10 years this Oct. My husband and I live in Michigan with our 2 rescue fur-baby's; Diesel & Bear. I come from a large Polish family that love to cook and eat and have learned most of my cooking skills/style from watching others. I enjoy cooking for family, friends, and my fur-baby's too! I like to spend time cooking or creating new recipes, walking my dogs at nature parks, and am also a certified canine massage therapist. Hope you enjoy my recipe!

About the dish: Easy and delicious! High notes of fresh lemon mixed with large fresh shrimp, chardonnay and shallots make this recipe a perfect pair to steak or chicken or by eat by itself! This recipe also makes a great topper to pasta with some grilled asparagus!
