Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
Today I was craving shrimp. Specifically shrimp scampi – lots of garlic, lots of lemon, and crusty bread to soak all of that scampi sauce in.
So when I was at the supermarket, hunting down for the star of the dish, I was disappointed when I notice that the only thing they had were farm raised shrimp.
“Well, Monica, are we picky much?” You probably thinking… right?
When it comes to seafood - Yes I am.
For the past couple of weeks, the weather god are showing us what our summer is going to feel like, and, well… we are going to melt again this year - its going to be HOT.
But they have been a bit kind in the transition. We have gotten sunny days in the high 90’s but with the added bonus of breeze days and very little humidity. Those perfect days of summer, when all you want to do is sit under a canopy of trees and just be.
This past weekend I had every intention of doing this dish, except that I spend it running around doing errands and Saturday dinner turned into pizza.
Instead I decided, I would do it for Sunday’s dinner.
Sunday came and went and back in the refrigerator everything went. But, I made a mental vow that I was going to do this for our Monday night dinner no matter what.
I had doubts that this was going to work out for a quick meal, but once more, I realized that there is always a way. And in less than 1 hour, I had it on the table for us to dig in.
