well hello ladies. since i resurrected the food blog i try and keep up, i thought i should go with it and post to this loverly blog as well. tonight's dinner was a tribute to a well-stocked freezer, pantry and semi-garden. i just got back from a week long vacation to sunny san diego (where the happy people are) and i didn't want to go to the grocery store today in the middle of the 25 loads of laundry. so here's what i came up with:
1 T butter
1T olive oil
1 box of pasta
frozen corn
frozen shrimp
1 clove garlic, minced
4 green onions, chopped
8 basil leaves, chopped
Boil pasta to al dente (HATE soggy pasta). Drain
Heat butter and olive oil in a very large skillet, add shrimp and corn. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes; salt and pepper. Add garlic, green onions and basil. Cook for 1 minute more. Add drained pasta and mix altogether. Top with some more fresh ground pepper and some parmesan.
Oh i also threw in some cherry tomatoes from the garden.
It was delicious. Fresh and light and tasty. And here's the real shocker: my kids ate it.
