I know it's traditionally served over pasta, but I chose white rice. Ryan whined, while he gobbled up every bite. A nice big salad rounded out this meal.
Of course, even men who don't celebrate their birthdays, leading some of their children to call and wish them a happy income tax day or happy random Wednesday, need birthday cakes. For my dearly beloved, of course it had to be Lemon Sponge Cake, which is his favorite cake. (Plus, it's low calorie and lower in cholesterol, balancing out the high cholesterol shrimp.)
Ryan and Mark didn't even attack it the next morning, leaving it for their father to enjoy. (And the pretty gold plate upon which it sits was a gift from my oldest son for Christmas; no time like a birthday for the first use of a fancy new cake plate.)
Happy Friday, everyone!

Love shrimp scampi. You can send the leftovers here. Ha ha, I know there are never leftovers with your boys around.
What makes it scampi? how it's cooked? I'm making a crab risotta later this week. I bought an electric pressure cooker for Christmas and while it's not the time saving appliance I thought it would be I'm using it quite a bit!

Belated Happy Birthday to the man in your life. Sorry I seem to be getting further and further behind with everything! Take care diane
How is the cleanup going?? Seems like both of us took a pretty big hit recently. I still cry when I find dog hair. You should look into aftelier essences-- they cheer me up a lot. Nothing like rose-scented custard to make your day.
Hello, are you there Marjie? It's me Louise:)
