Colossal butterflied shrimp, linguine in clam sauce, and garlic parmesan bread |
Everything I made was from Trader Joe's grocery store |
Everything I cooked in this meal came from Trader Joe's which is the coolest grocery store in town. I have only been there a couple times, but each time I do, I find new and fun things that I'm excited to try. I love a lot of stuff that I get from that place, and the prices are decent too. I ended up with a box of 15 colossal butterflied shrimp marinated in garlic and herbs, frozen linguini and clam sauce, and garlic and parmesan french bread.

Linguine "nests" |
The linguine came as a frozen package (one of my favorite things!) with the pasta and sauce together. One nice thing about this package is that the noodles are frozen in little birds-nest looking things, which are separate from the sauce. This allows it to cook more evenly, since all the noodles and sauce are not frozen into one giant clump. It cooked really quickly too, about 7 or 8 minutes total. Once again, all I did was follow the instructions on the bag.
I served both of these with slices of a fresh garlic parmesan baguette, which went really well with the Italian seafood theme I went with. Also served with a bottle of White Zinfindel which went so well with the food too. All in all, the meal was great, and we had an amazing night for our anniversary.
