I’ll admit that we don’t eat a lot of seafood here in my apartment. Somebody *not me* is allergic to some types of shellfish so we usually err on the side of caution. BUT I LOVE seafood and sometimes I just have to have it (and don’t worry, I made Tai an equally fantastic meal sans shellfish 😉 )!
As a kid my family would go to our “other home” (read seasonal camper) in Maine every weekend. This meant going to the mecca of fresh seafood. I’ll admit it, I was spoiled. We could go down to the fisherman’s co-op and buy seafood right off the boat or get lobster from tanks at lobstermen’s homes. And it was amazing. Now here in Brooklyn, I wouldn’t exactly trust the quality of the water but most of the shrimp around here comes fresh frozen from Maine anyways.
What I LOVE about this and all one pan recipes is how quickly a great meal can come together. And especially with shrimp! OMG they cook so fast, I love it on a hectic weeknight! It gives me more time to get caught up on my other projects….or watching American Ninja Warrior, you know, whatever comes first.
