Garlic and Black Pepper Shrimp and the Weekly Menu

Happy Sunday.  I don't know about you but I miss going to Mass.  I miss the community and support that being a part of my parish offers.  Watching Mass on TV is just not the same.  I miss receiving the Body and Blood of my Lord each week.  And all the days seem to meld together now so that I don't even know what day it is most of the time.

The reason I know that today is Sunday is because I made this dish to celebrate National Garlic Day with the From our Dinner Table group.  Unfortunately, I lost track of the days and did not supply my recipe title in time to be included in the event.

But I still wanted to share this easy and delicious recipe with you today and also share my Weekly Menu that started yesterday.

 This shrimp seasoned with jalapeno, garlic, black pepper and lemon juice is delicious tossed with fresh tomatoes, basil and pasta.

We are all still trying to limit our visits to the grocers which has forced me to start using food I have on hand in my freezer, pantry and refrigerator.  Luckily I am pretty well stocked and we have been getting by with Frank making only one trip to the grocers per week or every 10 days.

I try to plan my menus around what we have and write out my grocery list at the same time.  Here is what is on our menu this week, under which you will find the recipe for this Garlic and Black Pepper Shrimp.
