Italian Shrimp and Vegetables combines seared zucchini and mushrooms topped with shrimp scampi, grape tomatoes, Parmesan, and fresh basil.  Sponsored by Gorton’s Seafood.  All opinions are my own.

Italian Shrimp and Vegetables

Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian-American dish that combines shrimp and garlic in a buttery sauce that’s thick enough to coat pasta.  If you thought you liked shrimp scampi before, watch how it gets even better when you serve it over Italian veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

It’s easy to make a delicious seafood meal like this one at home, any night of the week, when you use fresh-caught, perfectly seasoned Gorton’s Seafood.  For this recipe, I love to use Gorton’s Seafood Simply Bake Shrimp Scampi.

It’s made with simple, chef-inspired ingredients that make it both gourmet and easy to prepare.  While the shrimp scampi cooks, the zucchini and mushrooms get a nice sear in a grill pan for color and flavor.  All you have to do with the tomatoes is slice them into halves.  Before you know it, you’ll be building a beautiful plate of shrimp and vegetables and ringing the dinner bell.

I like to garnish my Italian shrimp and vegetables with fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.  It’s a quick and simple way to elevate the presentation and enhance all the elements of the bowl.  Did you know that basil is one of the easiest herbs to grow on a porch?  As long as you have some decent sunlight and you remember to water it when it gets dry, you’re golden.  Fresh basil for everything!

Next time you’re at the grocery store, be sure to check out all the wholesome meal options from Gorton’s Seafood.

    It looks delicious and easy to make. I will like to make it, but too bad my son has allergic to shrimp.

    This meal looks fresh healthy and tasty, personally shrimp isn’t something I eat, but I would make the recipe without. In replacement of the shrimp I’d add fried firm tofu.

    I haven’t considered looking at Gordon’s before when purchasing my seafood, but your recipe is giving me second thoughts. It looks delicious and would satisfy my family. Thanks for posting this yummy recipe!

    This recipe looks amazing and SIMPLE! I love shrimp but never cook it quite right. Maybe these would turn out better. I will have to look for these in our town store.
