Shrimp Pasta with Parmesan Cheese Sauce: Easily done lunch under all circumstances.
There are millions of reasons why I will not get out to the shops today! You should see the conditions I see when looking through the window and you would understand. Totally. In five minutes, while my coffee was still hot, I saw rain, then a bit of snow, a blast of southern wind which quickly turned into the northern one, a layer of sun, and all of a sudden there were ladies struggling with umbrellas which were breaking in a split-second, and then there was snow again ….
So, I opened the freezer hoping a suggestion would pop out. And, luckily, it did. Frozen shrimps! Oh yes! Both my son and I are shrimp fans. We always overdo the quantity, cooking as if for four, but we two eat it all, no problem! The shrimps slowly thawed at room temperature to be ready for frying.
By pure accident, I used Bavette pasta but any other brand and shape will do.
