When you realize your OXO Good Grips Garlic Press (❤️, ❤️, ❤️) could work with Shallots, too! (Okay, I swiped the image from the OXO site, lazy photographer & Saturday afternoon Happy Hour – but I did de-vein the Shrimp ).
Shrimps shells are getting happy in slow pan with water before liquor goes into base sauce of olive oil, good cheap white box wine, garlic, shallot and Meyer (what else) Lemon zest. Quick hit with Shrimp, than the rest of yesterdays Brown & White Rice made in homemade Shrimp stock goes in. Besides proper country French Bread, sliced vine ripe tomato in olive oil and just cut Basil from my upstairs neighbor’s ginormous Basil bush (I got a very kind “Thank You” note about the still warm Basil pasta I brought her after my first foray).
Glorious good weather with VERY comfortable Dew Point, Humidity and Temp – all windows & door open. I’m good!
