Shrimp and Scallop Scampi

 

Happy New Year! We survived 2017 and now get to start fresh in 2018! Hope this year is great for each and every one of you! I was in a transitional period the last part of the year so I had to put some things on hold, but now I’m back and better than ever! This past December, I purchased a light box to use for my food photography. I live in Chicago, so during the winter not only does it get dark early, it can get downright COLD, hence the light box to imitate sunlight 24/7. I wanted to test it out on a few new recipes, and this Shrimp and Scallop Scampi was the perfect candidate! Not only is the food delicious, it photographs beautifully! I found a easy recipe on Pinterest and wanted to tweak it to my liking while saving some time on cooking. The scallops weren’t apart of the original recipe, but like I said I wanted to make it my own. It was on the table in about 30 minutes, and it was a one-pot meal so cleanup was a breeze.
