Yessir...decided to give Rich's salt-free hunky rub another run for it's money tonight.
Went on a refrigerator dive and found a few things that I really wanted to use up...some blue cheese, roma tomatoes and some half and half jumped out at me.
Took some nice jumbo shrimp, P&D'd em and gave em a substantial coating of the hunky stuff.
Got me mise en place done...just tomatoes, garlic and onion, and then turned my attention to the shrimp.
Melted about 3 Tbsp butter in two Tbsp evoo and cooked them for 60-90 seconds a side over medium high heat, then removed them to a plate.
Got the spaghetti going, and then in the same pan as the shrimp, saute'd my mise en place for a few minutes. I also tossed in a couple Tbsp of capers for good measure.
Added the blue cheese to the mix, and after it melted, a sufficient amount of half n half to get it to a nice consistency.
Then popped the shrimp back in for a few minutes just to warm them up.
Here's how it plated up.
The hunky was a very nice touch...at least as good as Old Bay..(ah....hell...ok it was better!)...didn't get overpowered by the blue cheese at all as I feared it might. This is a damned tasty dish that ya'll might want to try some time.
