Rich Food is Delicious

Tuesday, we decided to pretend like we're rich. Charlie bought cleaned, de-veined, de-tailed and cooked shrimp - $5.00/per pound. BEST shrimp I have ever had. It was so juicy and full of flavor. I'd honestly spend the money to do it all over again.

At first I thought the pound of shrimp was a lot of shrimp as it sat in a bowl, waiting to be added to the alfredo sauce we were to pair it with. We took some of the shrimp out and first made Shrimp Scampi for Charlie's mom (which was also declicious by the way). It still looked like a lot of shrimp. We finally add it to the huge wok-sized pan full of alfredo sauce and I suddenly questioned if we had enough shrimp. But in the end, it was just enough. In fact, Charlie and I have both eaten shrimp alfredo twice and we still have sauce and shrimp left over. So in the end, that $5.00 was well spent. It's made 5 plates of food so far!

Charlie will be upset that I am not showing his plate of food. He's extremely passionate about cooking and I know he'll want to show it off. But I think this was better put in a bowl and mine looked prettier! haha
