Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Pasta

Sunday I made Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Pasta. I looked around for an easy lemon pasta recipe and found Giada De Laurentis had one that was easy and looked great – check out her Lemon Spaghetti.

For the shrimp I made a marinade as follows:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of one lemon
two garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tsp of Old Bay seafood seasoning
a few turns of fresh black pepper and a pinch of sea salt
Some fresh chopped basil to sprinkle

I whisked this all in a medium bowl and then tossed in a half pound of large de-veined shrimp. Let that marinate for about an hour; then placed the shrimp on skewers that were soaked in water for about a half hour.

I grilled the skewered shrimp on high on an electric grill for about three minutes each side. Only turned the skewers once. Enjoy. Write if you have questions.

Spaghetti Sandwich

Scott, Erica, and Jay on MIX 105.1 (Orlando radio) WKMG CBS radio were talking about making sandwiches from leftover spaghetti this morning.  Last night Jay scooped up a heaping wad of cooked spaghetti (with sauce I assume) and dumped between two pieces of bread and it made a tasty meal.

I called into the show this morning and offered this:

Spaghetti Sandwich

Two pieces of good bread (Italian bread, or hoagie roll)
1 Cup of cooked spaghetti (packed) with some tomato sauce – from leftover spaghetti dinner
1 TSP of butter or margarine

Put butter or margerine in a small frying pan (preferably non-stick).  Dump the glop of spaghetti into the pan and fry until just a tad golden on each side.

Pour the fried spaghetti into or onto two slices of good bread or into a sliced hoagie roll.  Grab a beer.  Delish!

ENJOY!
