I love easy, quick meals that have big flavors.  Easy Mediterranean Shrimp is exactly that dish.  It’s one you’ll find on menus in many Mediterranean restaurants and now you can make it at home and have it on the table in less than 30 minutes. I betcha it’s even better than what you would get at the restaurant!

The pairing of fruit with arugula, goat cheese and granola is dyn-o-mite and I’ve been making this salad ever since. As the seasons change, so does my fruit selection.
