RSSGarlicky Shrimp with Bread Crumbs
February 4th, 2007 | View Comments
I pretty much haven’t cooked anything since my belated birthday dinner to myself, I don’t think. There’s been a lot of working these past four-ish weeks, a lot of 10+ hour days and 60+ hour weeks which doesn’t leave much time for meeting basic life needs. I have no idea how doctor and lawyer types manage to do 80+ hour weeks without having moms around to make sure they stay clean and well-nourished.
I did make a batch of Mom’s beef stew the day I started my daily productivity tally, and a 1000-calorie-per-serving (if you are a sumo wrestler; if you eat normal, human-sized servings, it’s more like 500 calories per serving because…”serves 4″ my foot) pasta bake from the new Fine Cooking last week, and I threw some veggies in a saute pan and some salmon fillets in the oven for a quick dinner yesterday (time to prepare: less than 30 minutes), but I think that might be about it as far as cooking goes.
And then my new Cook’s Illustrated came and I got a giant hankering for the garlicky shrimp with bread crumbs on page 21. And I don’t even really like shrimp all that much. But oh, oh, these are so good. Oh so good.
Garlic. Butter. Is there a more heavenly combination in the world? I don’t think so. I served the shrimp with the pan-roasted asparagus from the previous page of the magazine and some plain old white rice, courtesy my new fuzzy logic rice cooker, a birthday gift from my parents. Bye-bye, $10 rice cooker that never failed to burn the bottom of the rice! Sorry, blender, I have a new favorite appliance!
It took me forever and a day to peel and de-vein two pounds of shrimp; I think the last time I did it I was in middle school, helping my mom make dinner; but otherwise it was a quick and easy recipe. Definitely something to make again.
