Marinated Shrimp with Lemon and Olives


I recently went to Bertucci's for Mother's Day with my Mom, Aunt, Uncle, and Grandparents. We are very Italian and of course most of us ordered seafood. My mom, aunt, grandmother, and grandfather ordered the shrimp sciampi or Rossini. I went a step further and wanted the lobster and shrimp spaghetti. So when I came across this recipe for Marinated Shrimp with Lemon and Olives I was intrigued. It looks so easy to make. Do I dare cook it myself? Probably not, this is me now. I don't cook. I share and then see if others make it and then invite me over. This works well with my sister. Anyway...here is this delicious Marinated Shrimp Recipe with Lemon and Olives. Enjoy!
