Spring is hollering and I answered it with this citrus-filled shrimp recipe. The best part is it comes together quickly and easily-no special ingredients or equipment required. It’s the kind of dish you can throw together for almost any occasion.
You gotta love it when a recipe gives you options like that. Agree? Then you are in luck, because Robyn Stone’s cookbook Add a Pinch: Easier, Faster, Fresher Southern Classics gives you a multitude of recipes like that.
Her recipes draw you in and invite you to sit, eat and stay a while. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes me want to lounge around and eat food as it should be enjoyed: uninterrupted. I can’t give her book enough applauds, I’ve been a fan of her recipes every since I started my blog back in 2010. Naturally when her book was released I couldn’t wait to cook from it.
Here’s what I have made with ease and success:
- Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms
- Sunday Roasted Chicken
- Easy Pepper Steak
- Mushroom and Wild Rice—Stuffed Peppers
- German Chocolate Cake
Here’s what I’ve flagged to try next:
- Olive and Bacon Deviled Eggs
- Creole Shrimp and Grits
- Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken Sliders
- Mama’s Meat Loaf with Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce
- Coconut Cream Custard Pie

Citrus Shrimp
Yield:
Serves 6
Recipe courtesy of Robyn Stone from her book Add A Pinch
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3 pounds medium shrimp
- 1 medium orange, cut into wedges
- 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, garlic, onion, 2 teaspoons of the parsley, and pepper. Pour the mixture into a large skillet set over medium heat.
