It’s well noted on the pages of Lemony Thyme that Sage Brown Butter is something I’m passionate about. The best way to describe it…’sensual.’ Definition ‘sen-su-al’ adjective: “relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite.” It seemed like a natural way to build this Shrimp Scampi dish.

I made Sage Brown Butter recipe with Shrimp and it was a huge hit with my entire family. Even my picky 5 year old and 2 year old ate every last bite! I will make again and again. The crispy sage was unreal. Thank you for this wonderfully easy and tasty meal. I will be making many more of your meals in future.
Thank you so much Britta. I love hearing that a family enjoys one of our recipes. I really appreciate your feedback!!
