This indeed does sound like a yummy one!

I had an extra 30 bucks tonight sent from an Aunt in a very early birthday card, so I splurged (as she would want me to!) and picked up 24 pieces of beautiful U-8 Shrimp, on sale. Haven't spent so gluttonously for quite some time- it felt wonderful!

For tomorrow night, I have a couple of fav monster-prawn preparations ranging from the simple: 1.) wrapped in bacon and broiled or grilled and served with maltaise- OR 2.) served scampi style with garlic, butter and white wine... to the sublime: 1.) sauteed and served a vol au vent pastry shell smothered in vodka sauce with sweet corriander seeds & cayenne, OR 2.) skewered, grilled and tossed with fajita-style veggies and folded into warm flour tortillas and teased w/ fresh pico de gallo and a squeeze of lime... Decisions, decisions! Thanks Aunt Lila!
