So, last week I hit the right spot with the hubby. He has had a lap-band placed around his stomach about a year ago. With that he has some food restrictions. But some of the restrictions go away if those type of foods are fresher than you would usually get from the store.
He always complains about the shrimp being chewy and it's hard to eat.
But... I was missing my Grandma's Food. Especially a dish she made the last time we visited her in Rio. So, I went to the store and bought 2 lbs of fresh, easy peel, shrimp despite the fact that Jason would complain about it.
The only thing I changed from my grandma's dish was the type of pasta. She used a fresh fettuccine and I use mini penne.
Ok, so he complained that I was cooking with shrimp, but when he took the first bite he gave up. You see, I have a tough crowd here. So when I get compliments from the husband or kids I get really happy. He said it tasted like something you would order at Macaroni Grill or Maggiano's.
Problem is, I made up the recipe. If there is a request for recipe I'll make it again and take notes to share.
