One Pan, Easy Shrimp & Tomatoes

Okay, so I really, really love it when I can put everything in one pan. Because, who wants to clean up a bunch of stinkin’ dishes after dinner? Not me. Here’s a good one for fast, fresh and simple.

This quick and flavorful one-pan dish blends shrimp, parsley and lemon juice with tomatoes. Red pepper flakes give this dinner a kick. Get your shrimp from Got Seafood and tomatoes from The Moon Farm at our farmers market Monday, June 27.
