A Delicious Dinner for Two: Teriyaki Chicken Thighs and Garlic Butter Shrimp!
Thank all of you for giving me your feedback on my Dinner For Two series! Here is the second video, and, just like the first one, it’s simply delicious! This time we are doing some more grilling, so pull out the grills, and let’s go to work. We are marinating the chicken AND seasoning the shrimp ahead of time so make sure you give yourself plenty of time for preparation.
Dinner for Two Simple Green Salad
In the video, I made a simple green salad for my shrimp, and all I used was:
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup romaine lettuce
- 2 cups butter lettuce
- 1/4 cup green onion
- 1 lemon, cut in 4 wedges
- 2 boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup croutons
I used the lemon juice from the lemons instead of salad dressing, but feel free to use your favorite dressing!
If you want to be really fancy, try serving this with a white wine.
