Now if Bubba Gump knew anything at all, he knew that one should never ever I REPEAT.. NEVER over-cook SHRIMP!!!!:D

Do love the part of the movie where they are cleaning the floors and Bubba is calling off all the "Shrimp Dishes"!

My favorite shrimp dish is Shrimp Etoufe' with french toast points, made at a little cafe' in Mobile, AL gosh that stuff could clog an artery with just one spoon full, but sooooo worth taking the chance!!!!

They were hungry when they came so I had sausage cooked and biscuits made. I showed her how to make gravy and fried her eggs. Evelyn and Catie nibbled on biscuits then Evelyn said she was hungry. I asked Cole if she wanted to learn to do the scampi and she said yeah so I showed her how to make it and told her to never ever over cook it. Med shrimp on my stove was less than 2 min til perfectly done. Little Miss Picky five year old ate half a pound of shrimp scampi of all things lol. I told Cole to be careful when she reheated the leftovers not to over do it cause they would turn to rubber. She took her soup, scampi leftovers and cheesecake home with them. She was so full when she left she said she would enjoy the food tomorrow. Evelyn took the rest of the chocolate biscotti cookies I had on my desk. Her Momma told her she couldnt have them I told her if there is a cookie in this house and either of those babies want them they can have them with my blessing.

I had the parsley and garlic already minced in little plastic cups in the fridge so everything for the scampi was ready to throw in the skillet. Needless to say I had some dishes to wash when they left.
