First up, we got a lovely Shrimp Scampi. It’s easy peasy, and it makes your house smell real good! Here’s what you need:
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Juice of one lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Some parsley for garnish, if you fancy
Now, you heat the butter and olive oil in a big skillet. Toss in the garlic and let it sizzle for a minute. Then, add the shrimp, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink. Don’t forget to squeeze that lemon juice in there! Cook for another minute and then, voila! You got yourself a fancy dish that tastes like it came from a restaurant.
Next, let’s talk about Baked Salmon. This one is as easy as pie, and you don’t even have to stand over the stove!
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill or any herb you like
You just preheat that oven to 400°F (or whatever the fancy number is), put the salmon on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Lay those lemon slices on top and sprinkle with some herbs. Then pop it in the oven for about 15 minutes. It’s gonna be flaky and delicious!

- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced

First, cook the bacon in a big pot until it’s crispy. Then, toss in the onion and cook until it’s soft. Add the potatoes and some water to cover them, let it boil until they’re tender. Stir in the clams and cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for a bit. You’ll feel like you’re sitting by the sea!
