I made shrimp scampi tonight and had a glass of white wine with it. It was absolutely delicious and definitely one of the better meals that I have cooked. Here is how I made it:
- SautĆ©ed shrimp until brown, removed from pan - With shrimp residue, added about a cup of white wine - Added chopped garlic, shallot, and dill to the wine - Reduce - XANTHAN GUM, a secret to making sauces that donāt breakšØāš¬ - Added half a stick of butter and melted at a medium temp - Added pasta water to thicken - Add shrimp and pasta - Game over
Lmk how I did!!

One Pan Pasta -
ingredients: 8oz can tomato paste 16oz can tomato sauce half an onion 3 strips of bacon a pack of baby bella mushies a pack of sweet italian sausage like half a bag of kale a bunch of frozen peas jarlic harissa olive pesto lil bit o butter

total time: idk š¤·š»āāļø not that long, up to 2 hrs if you really wanna get your sauce simmerin. thereās a lot of this you could cut out or do less of for time trust your heart
Directions -
start by filling a pot with water and salt and brining to boil. watch it as you start the rest and cut the heat once it reaches boil until youāre ready to start with the pasta. cutting both pieces of bacon in half and cooking in a deep pan. chop an onion while the bacon cooks. once the bacon is cooked, take it out and toss in the onions. let the onions cook and chop the baby bellas while they do. once onions are transparent, maybe a bit of brown, toss in the mushrooms to cook. while they cook, prep your spices. my blend tonight was an assortment of my spice cabinet as so persuaded, but I started by blooming the cumin, paprika, chili powder, garam masala, and rosemary in the cooking mushrooms and onions. after the spices become aromatic, toss in the whole lil thing of tomato paste. donāt save like half for later in the fridge, it will get moldy I promise. once youāve incorporated everything in the pan into the paste, toss in a lil water from the pasta pot to break it up. then bring the heat up to a high medium and add the tomato sauce, cover with a pan while the sauce cooks down. taste every once in a while and add whatever spices you please but I added the soy sauce, msg, umami spice, salt, pepper, italian herb and spice blend, a scoop or harissa, a couple scoops of olive pesto, butter, and ocasionally pasta water at this stage. while the sauce cooks down, chop up the sausages and then get them sautĆ©ed in a pan. once the sauce tastes how you like and is dark and thick, toss the pasta in the boiling water until cooked to your preferred done-ness. i used rotini but use whatever shape tickles your fancy as per the perfectlyimperfect ask today. once pasta is cooked, drain and reserve a bit of pasta water to loosen the sauce a tad. set the pasta aside until the sauce finishes. once the sauce looks ready, toss like half a big bag of chopped kale in there. take out the stems before this. let em shrink in the sauce and also toss in some frozen peas. once thatās all introduced, toss in the sausages and the bacon if you could resist eating the bacon while you cooked (I could not). now youāll have the picture below and you can toss it all over a big plate of pasta. top with grated parmesan, salt and pepper to taste.

If any of you do climbing at all and have never gone outside, give it a try. I went today and could barely complete beginner level climbs, safe to say I am motivated to get back into training so I can become a beast on the boulders
