the kids are having hot dogs and mac 'n cheese.
but the grownups just aren't up for kid food tonight.
not when one of us has been dining in, uh, paris.
this is a fabulous dinner for company.
it is much better with fresh shrimp from ocean isle.
but grocery store shrimp is okay in a pinch.

so much yummier than the ham steak (i just wrote stam hake on accident but it's probably all the same really), creamed spinach (frozen, in a box- all bad), and stove top. i'm gonna have to give this one a shot to surprise the husband. we both love love love seafood. and feta? deeelish. oh p.s., i made your quiche the other day and it turned out great even w/pizza dough. kind of like a deep dish egg and cheese pie. this is like a big old comment that never ends. your lucky i don't have your phone number. my messages in real life are much rambly and incoherent. no back space button there, baby.
pizza dough sounds yummy!
Important...it's easy to over cook the shrimp, so don't. It only takes a few minutes for fresh/non frozen. Stop cooking and douse in cold water to stop the cooking as soon as it turns pink. Then you can clean/de-vein any time before preparing the dish. I think Jay always steamed with beer and Old Bay seasoning. Dad B.
