Sunday Shrimp
When I planned my menu on Friday, I knew that I would do little cooking at home this week so I wanted to make a nice dinner on Sunday. The current copy of Cuisine at Home magazine was delivered a few days ago and there are several recipes that I can't wait to try. First up though was Caesar Salad Pasta with Shrimp and Crouton Skewers. The name is close, I don't want to go look at the magazine that is in the kitchen.
There were a few steps but nothing difficult. First a lemon olive oil made with lemon zest, juice and olive oil. My husband did that. Then I made sure I had Parmesan grated, oil, zest, worcestershire and red pepper flakes ready, and garlic with anchovy paste.
Then I washed and chopped the romaine.
My husband started the Big Green Egg and I started the water for the linguine. I skewered the bread cubes and shrimp and brushed them with the lemon oil. Onto the grill until the sweet Georgia shrimp were cooked and the bread was toasted.
Drain the pasta, toss with the small bowls, wilt the romaine, top with the skewers. Delicious!
Great way to start the week. Last night I taught my monthly class at the Y so no dinner cooked Monday. Tonight is "whatever" night so I had a good lunch with the kids. Tomorrow may be sauce from the freezer. Menu planning for me means I always know what's for dinner with no stress.
