Garlic-Lemon-Butter Shrimp Bake with Mustard



If you are anything like me, you are pressed for time and frazzled to the bone by the end of the day. Dinner does not make itself...as we all know...kinda wish it did ;-) I usually end up scouring the internet about 30 min before dinner time should be placed on the table, frantically looking for some miracle recipe that will somewhat make itself in preferably 15min. Well this recipe that I am about to share is just that! Not only is it quick...it's amazingly badtastically good ;-) We scarfed it down in less time than it was made, and let me tell you..that's pretty quick! This recipe is amazing!
