Are you guys all hiding out indoors in the frigid weather? We are pretty much ready for Spring here in Seattle with sunny days in the high 40’s (sorry guys) and the tips of my crocus surfacing and the buds popping on my peony trees.

Shrimp Scampi

But the nights are still really, really cold. Well, at least to us Seattleites it feels cold. So the long and the short of it is that I just want hot cuddly comfort food on nights like these.

I haven’t quite hopped on the extreme health train of 2015 yet. Maybe in February?!

I want Spicy Soup, I want crispy polenta, sugary caramel corn and pasta of course.

 

Shrimp Scampi

And this Shrimp Scampi totally fits the bill. Garlicky white wine sauce and juicy, spicy shrimp coat the spaghetti and a little lemon juice makes the pasta dish sing.

Shrimp Scampi

So join me in sitting with a big huge bowl of hot delicious Pasta (oh gosh, and maybe a big glass of wine) to fight off the cold!
