Dinner Menu

I trust the first day of school was fantastic for everyone. We loved the Rose Ceremony. I wish I could sing as beautifully as the teachers did!

Here is week's full of delicious dinners. Enjoy!

Monday-

Pasta Salad

Any small pasta such as little shells
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 orange bell pepper
1/4 cup of peas
1/4 cup feta cheese (or cheddar cheese)
1/4 cup broccoli (in very small pieces)
Good Olive oil
Vinegar
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt

pepper
Boil pasta, mix in all ingredients and allow to rest for at least 4 hours

Gambas al Ajillo (Shrimp Scampi)

2-3 good size shell on shrimp per person (if you find them with the head on it's better)

3-4 pressed or finely chopped garlic cloves per person (I use the frozen ones from Trader Joe's)

1 tablespoon finely chopped flat leaf parsley per person (I use the frozen ones from Trader Joe's)

1/2 lime per person

1 teaspoons of olive oil per person

salt to taste

In a bowl or mortar place the garlic, parsley, olive oil, and salt-mix very well.

Set a skillet (that fits half or all the shrimp flat)on medium high heat

Pour in a little olive oil and place the shrimp flat. With a spoon put a little of the garlic mix on each shrimp (you should have some left over for the other side).

After a minute, turn each shrimp to the other side and spoon the rest of the garlic mix on each shrimp. After a minute turn the shrimp over. The shrimp are done when they turn a bright pink color and they are firm to the tough. The garlic mix should be a golden color. Serve with half of the lime.

Enjoy
