Took a day off earlier this week, grabbed my Mom and sister and headed to the farm for a girls day. Had lunch at the cabin and then hit some antique stores on the way home. Mom has been wanting to try a shrimp pasta dish so I decided that was what we were having for lunch. I have grilled shrimp lots of times but this type of a dish was a first for me and I was surprised at how easy it was.
I cooked 1 1/2 lbs of shrimp in butter in a cast iron skillet on the Weber then removed it from the pan. Added a little garlic and red pepper strips for a few minutes then a can of Italian style diced tomatoes (un-drained) and let simmer for a few more minutes. Threw in about 6 oz baby spinach and wilted it. Then about 1/2 cup whipping cream, salt & pepper. Threw the shrimp back in and some spaghetti that Mom had pre-cooked the night before. Mixed it all up and let the spaghetti and shrimp heat up then covered in shredded Italian style cheese and grated Parmesan. I put the grill lid on until the cheese melted then tossed some chopped green onion on top and it was lunch time!
I will definitely make this again but if it were for me and the old man I would add a good teaspoon or more of red pepper flakes or some cajun seasoning or even Mad Hunky would be great but I kept it scaled down for my Mom and sister.
Thanks for looking!
