Eating has to be fun-Jose Andres


Shrimp Scampi with Pasta and Carrots

Shrimp-I use frozen shrimp but cook shrimp in butter for 60-90 seconds, remove. Pour 1/2 cup of white wine, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, parsley, lemon pepper, salt & pepper & bring to boil. Add shrimp to mixture for 1-2 minutes. From bethenny.com

Pasta-Boil water, add pasta. Flavor with garlic powder, olive oil, Parmesan cheese. I know whole grain pasta is better for you, but I can be impatient. I feel like regular pasta cooks faster and I think it tastes better.

Carrots-Frozen. Put in container w/ water and microwave for 4 minutes on high. Add salt & pepper.

Tonight on 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper interviewed Jose Andres, one of the world's greatest chef and the chef/owner of my favorite restaurant, Jaleo. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he really came off as a great guy. He volunteers at DC Central Kitchen and still seems passionate and excited about food, after all these years. I've had the pleasure of eating at three of his restaurants and they are all phenomenal. The food is imaginative and delicious. I would love to try Minibar, but it's a tasting menu and I'd be afraid I wouldn't be full post meal...and I hate going out for an amazing dinner and still being hungry. But I think it'd be worth it try. I should try Oyamel Cocina this summer. All I can say it nom nom nom!
