Big K loves shrimp.
Boiled, broiled, barbecued or fried,
he'll take it any way he can get it.

I had a hankering for some garlic pasta,
so I found this recipe from Ina Garten for shrimp scampi.
Shrimp for him, pasta for me.
What's not to love?
This one has made it into our Family Recipe Book.




Shrimp Scampi

3/4 lb. pasta

  1. Daisy, I too like just about any kind of seafood. Shrimp seem to be a seafood that makes it's way into many different dishes. My best way to eat shrimp is fried. Although the cocktail is good too and the salad is also great. Oh, well, it's all good. :-)

    Have a great shrimp scampi day.

  2. Oh, I definately love shrimp, but my husband won't eat any seafood. Maybe this could convince him?
