Sometimes, when I channel surf, I run into the Duggars. The family on TLC with a zillion children. Once, I saw them go shopping. Damn. That was crazy.
Me? I'm the person at the meat counter saying:
I would like to buy one sausage link, please.
For this recipe, I bought 5 shrimp (shell-on) at the counter. They were on sale so it was $.50 worth of protein! Yes, 50-cents. Well, since they were previously frozen, I couldn't refreeze them so I just got enough for dinner. Me and my 5 shrimp.
I boiled some whole wheat pasta. Chopped half a head of red Swiss chard from the farmer's market. Sauteed in some garlic and olive oil. Then I tossed in the five shrimp and cooked for a few seconds before adding in the pasta. The Swiss chard dyed the pasta...that is why you see a pink tint. I finished it off with some salt, pepper and parm cheese. Dinner for one!
Five shrimps, that is funny.
ReplyDeleteA delicious and light dinner. Love it.
Good for you! I'm tickled by the 50 cents part.
ReplyDelete5 shrimps...hee..hee.
ReplyDeleteMy sisters and I are obsessed with the Duggar's Tater Tot Casserole and I always think about trying it.
Such a light and healthy dinner. I love shrimp and swiss chard, and I also like buying small portions of fish. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy dinners for one are usually a lot less elegant. Love this one, Mary!
ReplyDeleteWell I think that looks delicious! And great 50 cent buy!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha - looks delicious!
ReplyDelete50 cents for shrimp, wow, you got yourself a good buy there, lol! Well 5 or less shrimps, still, it is shimp, so I'm with you here! I simplylove shrimps! That pasta looks great, not bad for a solo dinner at home. That one looks like it was served by some chef in a restaurant. I love the contrast of greens with the pinkish pasta and shrimp.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is too funny. I'd write more, but I have to go now. I need to go buy two slices of bacon for breakfast. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks great.. Love shrimp and what a great deal. My little one is only 7 months, but I can only imaging the shopping bill when he is older.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting. Keep it up!
