Just before we went out to supper, I checked our mail box. In it I discovered a refund cheque for $1.41. A letter saying this was in full settlement of my claim. I had no idea who it was from or what it was about and it kept puzzling me through dinner. Finally when we got home I looked up the name of the company and realised it was when, months ago, I bought a plug into which nothing would fit. I complained and I guess they decided to send me some money for it. Weird. I will try not to spend it all at once LOL.
We had a fairly quiet day for our Anniversary and went to the Red Lobster fairly early so I could see Jeopardy when we got home. Matt isn't that fussed although he always watches. This time I had Dragon Shrimp which is spicy as all get out and is served with chili pods. No, I did not eat them. Matt had the Yucatan Tilapia again which he enjoyed. He then tried their new dessert which was a Vanilla Bean Cheesecake - Matt loves cheesecake so this was right up his street. We had a coupon each for a free dessert which officially meant we should have had two more people with us, but I persuaded them to give us both freebies. I had a Chocolate Wave Cake which I ended up bringing home, well most of it anyway. Matt ate every bit of his huge dessert. They sure aren't mean about the portions at Red Lobster.
So having stuffed myself with shrimp tonight, I had to give you a shrimp recipe. This looks pretty simple.
Asian Garlic Butter Shrimp
1 1/2 lbs shelled and deveined shrimp
4 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
3 dashes ground black pepper
3 dashes cayenne pepper, optional
1 Tbs chopped scallion
4 slices lemon wedges
1. Thaw the frozen shrimp. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Heat up a wok or skillet on medium heat. Add the melted butter, follow by the garlic. Saute the garlic for 10 seconds and add the shrimp. Stir the shrimp back and forth a few times before adding the fish sauce, sugar, ground black pepper and cayenne pepper, if using.
3. Stir and cook, add chopped scallions to the shrimp. Squeeze some lemon juice on top of the shrimp and serve immediately.
Servings: 4

Have a great day

Have a great day
I’m glad you had a nice day and enjoyed the Red Lobster. That cheesecake looks so good and so does the shrimp
ReplyDeleteMatt assured me it was good Birgit.
DeleteI would love to try a slice of that cheesecake! I haven't had a good cheesecake in ages. The ones they sell at the grocery store are so dry and mealy.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a Red Lobster near you JoJo? If so you can buy their desserts as take out.
DeleteThat rebate might buy you a couple stamps.
ReplyDeleteYou think so Alex? This is Canada, can't remember the local rate but to the US it's $1.20.
DeleteHi Jo - I hate mysteries like that ... glad you've sorted it out - enjoy spending it!! Glad you had a happy meal - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt was a window envelope so I could see it was a cheque so my first thought was it was a decent amount, ha!! Then not knowing who on earth. Yeah, dinner was good Hilary, thanks.
DeleteGlad you had a nice meal. That shrimp looks good.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly did Melissa. It does look good doesn't it?
DeleteOne of the things I love about New York is the cheesecake. So good.
ReplyDeleteSo I believe Liz. Not a biggie on cheesecake, eat it now and again, but Matt loves it.
DeleteSo glad all went well, in spite of the spicy shrimp!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, they were delicious but chili pods are too much for me.
DeleteI've been travelling and have not had a decent meal yet. Shrimp and the cheesecake look delicious.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the lack of good food Denise. That is usually part of the fun of travelling. Where are you?
DeleteAt this moment, Durango, Colorado.
DeleteWell I hope you find some decent food soon. Denise.
DeleteVanilla bean cheesecake sounds scrumptious. No wonder Matt ate it all!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly enjoyed it Pinky. I have just finished my chocolate wave cake for supper.
DeleteThank for your very good article! i always enjoy & read the post you are sharing!
