Originally I had planned on having the linguini with salmon but at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to do shrimp instead. I was just going to saute the shrimp in some lemon infused olive oil, but then I got a burst of ambition and decided to bread them first in a lemon-pepper/panko mixture.
I threw a couple of homemade breadsticks in the oven and got my water boiling and breaded my shrimp. I heated some lemon EVOO from my friends at the Olive Grove in a pan and started my shrimp. When I flipped the shrimp I threw the pasta in. This is fresh (frozen) pasta so it only took a couple of minutes to cook.
I tossed the cooked pasta with a little more lemon EVOO, added the shrimp and, of course, shredded some Parmesan over the top. Somewhere in there I threw together a salad and in less than half an hour I had dinner.
Not only did I have dinner, I had a delicious dinner! The pasta has a nice subtle lemon flavor and great texture, like the ravioli. The package says it's two servings. I think it's easily three, if not four if you served it as a side.
Simple. Easy. Delicious. If Dave read my blog I bet he'd wish he was home for dinner tonight!
