Raising Boys
In The Kitchen
Family Travels
Raising boys is quite an adventure, and it continues with a second son who is just an mischievous, charming, and adorable as the first. My son kisses me. It took a long time, and he’s reaching many milestones at once it seems, but for some reason this one just melts me the most. He snuggles […]
I love seafood, especially shrimp dishes, salmon, scallops, and calamari. I tend to always favor the same flavor-paced fish over and over, and shied away from tilapia. I recently learned that a single serving of tilapia (a 4 oz fillet) has almost 30g of protein, which is over half of your daily recommended allowance (awesome […]
We just enjoyed shrimp scampi at home, which I made in an open skillet. I discovered ceramic cookware about two years ago when I was looking for a new potto make my awesome chili, and that looks great on my stove top, so when I was looking for a new skillet, I knew ceramic cookware […]
That looks so delicious!!
This looks delish. I wish I wasn’t allergic to shell fish.
That looks really good!
This cookware looks amazing
I’ve never tried ceramic cookware, but it looks like it would be nice to use! Your shrimp scampi looks delicious too.
My daughter LOVES shrimp! She would eat this up.
Love shrimp scampi. I usually use the store bought stuff, but would love to make it from scratch like this.
That looks really delish!
I love shrimp…looks delicious!
We desperately need new cookware, and I’ve actually been looking into that line!
I had no idea there was ceramic cookware. I’m very picky about what I cook with and only use cast iron and stainless steel. I’ll check into this out. Also, that shrimp looks amazing!
I’m in dire need of new cookware, and I think I’ll try something different this time around. I’ve never used ceramic cookware but I’m open to anything. Maybe a trip to the store is in order this weekend!
I always used cast iron and stainless steel too until I tried their soup pot, and since then I’ve been very fond of ceramic
I haven’t made scampi in awhile.
This looks so good!
That scampi looks so delicious!!! I adore that little pan – would be perfect for M 🙂
I’ve never tried ceramic cookware before, but I’m not much of a cook to begin with.
I definitely have a few pieces which could stand to be switched out new. I’ll have to consider this for sure. Your recipe looks fab!
Oh shrimp scampi how I miss thee. I recently found out I was diagnosed with a shrimp allergy, it was a sad sad day.
I like the XTrema cookware features. Especially that they have no heavy metals or chemicals to leach into the food.
I’ve never had ceramic cookware. I love that tiny egg pan, super cook
I haven’t had Shrimp Scampi before but you make it look so delicious!
That sure does look like the best shrimp scampi!
No I haven’t tried ceramic cookeware but yes it does appear to be a great pan
I have one piece of ceramic cookware and love it! I wish I had more.
We need new cookware so badly!
Durable, long lasting, cookware isn’t the easiest to find. I would love to try ceramic!
Shrimp scampi is one of my favorite dishes but I’ve never tired making it at home. Thanks for the recipe!
I didn’t realize shrimp scampi was so simple to make! I’m totally trying this – I love shrimp.
Yum…the shrimp scampi recipe sounds amazing. My mouth is watering!! Cannot wait to try it!
Thanks I’m not the best cook but my husband loves Shrimp Scampi and mine is just not all that it could be. I will have to try this.
Your scampi recipe makes me wish I like seafood, looks so darn good. I love my xtrema cookware! It is so handy for anything I cook!
I’ve never made shrimp scampi before, but this does look like the best shrimp scampi, ever! I don’t own any ceramic cookware, but it does look nice.
Oh yum! I am going to have to try this- I can never seem to get shrimp scampi right!
This looks so good! I’ve never tried making shrimp scampi at home before.
That shrimp scampi looks delicious. I’ve never heard of this brand of kitchenware, but I’ll have to check it out.
I have always wanted to cook with ceramic cookware but never have. But it always looks like no matter what is cooked in them they always turn out perfectly.
The ceramic pots look great but I couldn’t stand having to use a pot holder every time I cooked something on the stove.
The pan actually comes with a silicone sleeve that is fitted to stay on it if you choose, but I don’t think the handles get hotter than my stainless steel or cast iron cookware so I don’t use the silicone sleeve much.
I love shrimp scampi, so I will definitely have to try this recipe. I adore that itty bitty cook pan for the egg!!
Whether serving it as an appetizer or tossed with linguine for a main course, learn how to make shrimp scampi for a dish laden with all the flavors of the Mediterranean. It’s important to know how to clean and devein shrimp, as the raw shellfish typically come with the shells on and the intestinal tract (the dark “vein” along the top) still inside. Simply peel off the shell–it’s up to you whether or not the tail stays on for presentation. Run a paring knife down the back of the shrimp to remove the vein. White wine is an important ingredient in shrimp scampi–this isn’t the time to use subpar wine. Select a bottle that you’d be happy to sip along with the dish. This doesn’t mean you’ll need to spend a fortune; there are plenty of budget-friendly, good-quality wines available. Resist any temptation to skip the fresh herbs. Not only do parsley and thyme add a bit of color to the dish, they also help brighten the flavor considerably. Add the herbs just before serving so they maintain their maximum flavor.
What can be used in place of the white wine?
I love shrimp scampi! I have used ceramic coated cast iron and it’s my favorite pot!
Shrimp Scampi is one of my fave dishes!
You can use chicken broth in place of white wine!!
It’s been very hot around here…very hot. We don’t have central AC in our new home…or any air conditioners at all for that matter. With all our fancy bladeless fans going on, all day long, on the highest settings, and all the windows open at night to let the steamy air out and the cooler […]
Central air is ridiculous up here. We have all window units, except in Zoe’s room. She has old windows that do not open, so this would be very handy in her room.
It’s been so hot here lately I’ve been running the AC constantly. I wonder if my husband would object to me having one of these in every room in addition to our regular outside unit lol
We have a great central air system in our home, and ceiling fans, but having a portable a/c unit on hand would allow us to keep our central air units at a higher temperature and save us money!
It looks so nice too! I cannot imagine spending that much for A/C glad to hear this is helping 🙂
It’s gotten HOT here in Oklahoma too! We have central heat and air but our room gets really hot during the summer. This would work great.
Wow we could use one of these for our apartment!
That’s one thing I loathe about summer – the weather!
I grew up without air conditioning in the country in Idaho. When the hot summer days would roll around, we’d hang out in the basement or stay cool by playing in the sprinklers. An air conditioner like this would have been really nice. We do have central air in our home now, but this seems like a very affordable option if you don’t have it but still want air conditioning.
Looks like a great portable AC unit. We have a portable one and it was a lifesaver when we weren’t living as close to the coast as we are now.
That’s a very handy air conditioner! It’s hot here too but thankfully we have central air. I don’t let it run too much though.
I totally need one of these. I live in an old house with 2 window units. It would be great to have one of these for those hotter days, to use in parts of the house that don’t get as cool.
Its pretty hot in Chicago too! 🙂
While I might be dreaming of central air, I am so happy to have a portable air conditioner to help get through the hot Portland summer. This one looks like a winner.
My parents need that. They do not have airconditioning. I do not know how they can do it.
That sounds awesome! We live in Vegas where it’s over 100 every day in the summer {it’s supposed to hit 122 next week…} so we NEED central AC, but this sounds like the perfect solution for you!
I don’t really feel central air is worth the cost in the Northern states (I’m in Rhode Island).
We are in the end of June & I have only used AC 3 or 4 days so far. I let cool air in in the evening, then close the windows and shades/blinds on the southern side of the house in the day to keep the heat out. Very old school, but it works surprisingly well.
Thankfully we have central air. I can’t image not having it, but we live in Florida, so just about everyone has it.
We have central air conditioning. If it were to go down, it would be nice to have a portable air conditioner on hand until we could get it fixed.
That would be the option I’d choose if I was in that boat. I can’t imagine not having A/C; here in Texas, it’s a must.
Good thing you have this now. It’s way too hot and humid without A/C in the summer.
That’s neat. I’d be interested in knowing how much electricity it uses. Our central air runs a lot here in South Dakota, but I’m pretty sure we’d nearly suffocate without central air when we move to TX we’re already watching the weather forecast there and I’m dripping from here!
It’s 14,000 BTU, but I’m not sure of the effect on our electricity bill yet- I’ll let you know!
Our central unit broke over the weekend. How I wish we had one of these!
Ack, that must be a fortune to repair! What are you doing in the meantime?
What I wouldn’t have given for one of these at some of our stops on this trip! I dread going back to the humid hot of Florida even more though.
Bought a window unit for the bedroom so we have a retreat from the heat!
I can’t imagine not living with central air and heat but it looks like that little machine does the job pretty well.
That’s amazing it works so quickly! This sounds more energy/budget friendly as well since you’ll only have cold air blowing where you need it most!
My uncle had something similar to this and swore by it. It was the only system he would use since he didn’t have window units.
I’m glad you were able to get something to help. Here in South Florida there is NO WAY I would ever try to live without central air. The only time I did was when I lived in Virginia and we had a window unit. I think in FL it should be illegal to live with out central air LOL.
We dont’ have a central unit so we use window unis but I’ve been wondering how the portable ones worked. If it keeps getting hotter this summer we may have to get one.
It should be illegal, lol
I need to get something like this for my sun room. It was originally a porch that a previous owner had converted. It technically has heating and cooling, but it is either too hot or too cold. This looks like a good solution.
We’ve had some hot days here, too (and way too much rain). I’m thankful for central air. And I still can’t sleep at night without the ceiling fan on. I have to be cool when I’m sleeping. 🙂
I don’t think we could live without AC…but this looks like a great solution!
Our A/C unit went out two weeks ago (yes, that long) and we’ve been so freaking hot. We could sure use this right now, seriously! I can’t take no more heat and box fans lol.
One of the things we love best about hot summer days is cooling off with cold summer drinks. My husband loves iced coffee and my sons enjoy iced tea and lemonade, so I try to keep both on hand throughout the season for them to enjoy while running around the yard and playing. Growing up […]
Looks so good and so good for you! I live fish!
That looks good. I have never used parchment sleeves. I don’t think I have seen them in a store – I will try to find some.
I’ve been afraid of tilapia for years, but you’ve made me want to try it. I didn’t know the protein count was that high, I never get in as much protein as I should. Thank you for posting this recipe.
Tilapia is such a mild fish, it is great for a lot of things.
I’ve trying more and more seafood. This looks really good!
That is a delicious and light(!) way to get in not just that protein like you mentioned, but some needed Omega-3s too! Tilapia is a winner around here because my husband doesn’t really like fish, but it’s so mild he’ll eat that kind.
Wow this looks amazing!
This looks delish, and I love how simple it is.
I think everything takes better with a fresh squeeze of lemon. I’m surprised there are 30grams of protein in 4 ounces, that’s impressive!
My husband would love this meal. Beautiful picture too.
This looks so perfectly prepared. I love tilapia!
I really need to eat more fish and this looks amazing! I’m going to try this on the Treager.
What a perfect meal for summer!
I don’t like fish at all, but I know that my brothers would love this. They both love tilapia. 🙂
I don’t cook tilapia often at all, but yours looks mighty tasty.
I love tilapia! I didn’t know it had that much protein.
That looks great!
That looks really good!
Seafood is something we enjoy here too and have it about twice a week. Love tilapia with lemon 🙂
I know what I’m making for dinner now!
Seems like a perfectly easy recipe and tilapia is on sale quite often.
YUM. This looks absolutely delicious. I love tilapia and we cook it often.
I’m going to have to make that for my son!! He’ll love it!
We adore fish and lemon together — great classic combo!
Yum!! This looks so good!
I don’t eat seafood, but even I think this looks amazing!
This looks amazing!
We are trying to eat more fish, and tilapia is mild- so I have to give this a try!
This looks so good, light yet flavorful. Perfect combination.
You had me at tilapia. I am a seafood lover and tilapia is one of my faves.
I love tilapia because it’s so easy to cook– great recipe!
Looks fresh and healthy.
