Don’t you just love it when you feel like you could
just reach out and take a bite?

Well, that is what my friend said when she saw this photo I took of the dinner I made.

I think cooking is often easier than baking, very little measuring required-guessing works

Shrimp Scampi is a classic dish that can be served ANYTIME!

It’s no secret shrimp dishes are some of my favorites, and this one is not only a classic dish, it’s simple to make and makes a great appearance, so serve it to impress…

I know I have, and it’s WOWed many!

Cook a pound of angel hair pasta-Barilla is my favorite.

In a frying pan, put butter and olive oil

Add these shrimp and turn to cook evenly

Pour in the wine and lemon juice, and cook shrimp to 120°.

Pour shrimp and sauce over pasta, add oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.

Then top with Romano (or Parmesan0) Cheese.
