SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA
This is always a hit. The best part is how fast you can whip it up! You could just buy roasted tomatoes in a jar, but I think roasting them yourself gives the dish a very fresh, deep flavor.

KITTENCAL'S BAKED JUMBO LEMON-GARLIC PARMESAN SHRIMP
You won't find this recipe anywhere else, I developed this using jumbo shrimp and I would strongly advise to use only very large or jumbo for this and leave the tails intact, depending on the size and amount of the shrimp used a small amount of breadcrumb mixture might be left over --- I have listed the cayenne pepper as only optional you may adjust amount to suit heat level or omit, I like to add it in for some heat :)
