πŸ‹ One 10-minute lemon-butter sauce, 7 weeknight dinners


Hey there,

Over the years, I've posted a whopping 7 versions of piccata (the shrimp version is the one I make the most). What they all share is the sauce: butter, fresh lemon juice, capers. Almost everyone loves it, and it goes with just about anything savory. It always feels a little fancy, but it comes together very quickly.

So I decided to develop a recipe for just the sauce. Now you can 'piccata' anything you want, from steamed vegetables to mashed potatoes to rice.

🌟 Recipe of the Week: Piccata Sauce Bright, buttery and lemony, and done in 10 minutes.

  • Difficulty level: Easy
  • Perfect for: Drizzling over proteins, vegetables, pasta, or rice
