PThe past couple days family members have mentioned that I haven't been writing up my recipes and insisted I get back on it. Boy it's been 6 months and I swear I have cooked and baked since then! I just forgot to write it down!
Tonight we had Spicy Shrimp Penne with a Spinach and Blood Orange Salad! I got the recipe for the patsta from http://damndelicious.net/ but of course changed it a bit.
The Spicy Shrimp Penne recipe:
Ingredients-
1/3 cup if olive oil
1/4cup of grated Parmesan cheese (I used Parmesan Romano blend)
4 cloves of garlic minced
1tbs of brown sugar
2tsp of soy sauce
1/2 tsp -1tsp of red pepper flakes ( I used closer to a teaspoon but we like spicy!)
1 lb of medium shrimp. I used TJs already cooked shrimp
8 oz of penne ( I used whole wheat)
Green onions and parm cheese on top
Mix oil, cheese, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce and red pepper flakes in a zip log bag,add thawed shrimp and shake. This is when we walked the dog to let this mix marinate!
Cook penne to desired softness, meanwhile add shrimp to saucepan, drain pasta and add to shrimp mixture. Cook for 3-4 min then top with green onions and cheese.
For the salad: TJs had blood oranges in a bag for $2.99: couldn't pass that up. I had spinach on hand so served that with oranges, sunflower seeds, goat cheese and our fave dressing. Now is when I poured myself a glass of wine! Enjoy!
