I love living on a coast. I love driving down a street and seeing homemade signs saying “shrimp” where local fisherman sit on the side of the road with a ton of ice filled coolers and sell to the public. I love that there has been a bumper shrimp catch recently in the Jacksonville area. I love shrimp!!
The sad thing is that so do my endlessly hungry teenagers. It took 3 pounds of shrimp to feed them this dinner. That was $15 worth of shrimp for one meal; not exactly frugal, but certainly worth the splurge for a once in a while dish. I usually make scampi for the family, but this time, I got adventurous and made a Thai noodle dish. I say “Thai” very loosely as this was not a particularly spicy dish.
(all that’s left after the eaters left the table!)
