OK, I didn't post in the other thread first, but I decided I wanted to play, too.

I made Jennifer Rose's shrimp scampi tonight. I am not a seafood fan, but my husband bought all this shrimp and I figured that if I had to toil over the stove I may as well make something I could eat.

I served this over rice noodles cause the only other pasta in the house I had was elbow macaroni, and I would've felt like some kind of hick serving shrimp scampi over elbow macaroni. The sauce on the noodles was GREAT! The shrimp I wasn't crazy about, because, well, it tasted like shrimp. My husband loved it, but did not appreciate the rice noodles in lieu of linguini. I would definitely make this again, but wouldn't eat the actual shrimp again.

This was the first time I've ever deveined shrimp, and I nearly threw up the first time I pulled out that gross nasty slimy gloppy intestinal vein. OK, yeah, I'm squeamish. The first time I ever cooked a whole bird, I pulled the "surprise package" out of the cavity and just about lost it then, too.
