Theprep 15 Minute Dinners For An Easy Week

 Easy Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles

Our column, ThePrep, has everything you’ll need to make meal planning and meal prep as easy as can be. Sign up here to get a meal plan delivered to your inbox every Saturday! Summer in Vermont is short, so I tend to pack in a lot of activities during these warmer months. This week is no exception. In addition to my busy work week, I have a family event, a friend’s wedding and will be celebrating my wedding anniversary. To help simplify things, I’m keeping dinner quick and easy this week and these easy 15-minute meals. These dinners use healthy store-bought shortcuts in creative ways to add lots of delicious flavor in no time at all. Your Meal Plan pan of Pesto Ravioli with Spinach & Tomatoes The week starts with one of my favorite recipes for salmon. Every time I make the 15-Minute Salmon & Creamy Orzo with Spinach & Mushrooms, I’m amazed at how something so delicious can be so quick! Plus, it’s healthy—it has veggies, a high-fiber whole grain and a heart-healthy protein source. The Pesto Ravioli with Spinach & Tomatoes is another winner this week. I love that it uses a full container of spinach. The week just keeps getting better with recipes like Tuesday’s Gluten-Free Teriyaki Chicken with Broccoli and Thursday’s Easy Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles, which really packs in the veggies. I buy pre-spiralized zucchini from the grocery store to cut down on prep time, and using quick-cooking shrimp as my protein source keeps this dinner fast and easy. And who doesn’t like ending the week with tacos? I’ll plan to pick up a rotisserie chicken to use in Friday’s 15-minute BBQ Chicken Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw, which will make for a great start to the weekend!
