Yesterday the husband and I decided to travel down the romantic road. This Romantic Road stretches 200 miles from Wurzburg to Fussen. It was named by U.S. soldiers during WWII. The route links a number of picturesque towns and castles. In medieval times it was a trade route that connected the center of Germany with the south. Of course we could not travel it all but we were excited about the trip. Sadly though it was so foggy and misty there was no view besides the traffic on the road. :o( We decided to stop in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is a medieval town that had some cool things going on such as the cobblestone streets, cute and colorful buildings, the city wall that you can still walk on and the gruesome but fascinating crime museum. Although it had some great features, the town caters to tourists (since it's listed as 1 of the top travel destinations on the romantic road) so there seemed to be nothing but hotels and restaurants and so many Asians in tour groups. LOL We had to pay to see the church and truthfully it was not that impressive. Since we have seen so many beautiful places in Bavaria we were just not impressed with this town.
Since we never had a "romantic" V-day dinner I wanted to make something that would make the hubs happy!! I know that any kind of seafood will make him :o) so..... I wanted to try shrimp. I have never cooked shrimp before (unless you count the kind from the freezer section of the grocery store than you just preheat and eat. YUM!) and I was amazed at my talents!!! It was the BOMB!!!!
It was so simple too!
Line baking pan with foil.
Cut 1-2 lemons into slices, put on bottom of pan, drizzle with 1 stick of melted butter.
Sprinkle one pack of Zesty Italian seasoning on 1/2-1 lb raw shrimp and toss.
Put the shrimp on the lemon and butter, then put them in the oven and bake at 350 for 10-15 min
I squeezed a lil bit of lemon on them after baking.
Enjoy!
