I'm always hunting for quick weeknight dinners, and this one has become a family favorite. I grew up in Surfside Beach, South Carolina, but somehow didn't eat much seafood as a kid — that love developed later, especially after culinary school.
This dish came about when we had friends over and my husband asked for a meat entree to go with my Gourmet Lobster Mac 'n Cheese. I teased him about being high-maintenance, but he was right — it's quick, easy, and pairs perfectly with just about anything.
