Happy day after V-Day to all you lovelies. We stayed in yesterday.. One, because we are terrified of getting the flu. Two, because it's Wednesday and my husband is sleeping like a (good) baby by eight pm.
We still made it fun and full of yumminess, if that's even a word? I would much rather ditch the IT crowd and be home on a rainy Valentines night that be waiting for food elsewhere. Plus we will more than likely rain-check our date in like two weeks, or maybe even two months? Ya never know.
We really need to get in the habit of doing more REAL date nights with just the two of us. I think it's healthy and always leaves us feeling like US again.
This was our last date night in Rosemary Beach.. Aah what I would do to be there again!
But for now we decided on a family Valentines dinner at home.
This is one of our favorite recipes and it never gets old.

Cajun Shrimp Pasta
Package of 30-40 peeled, deveined and tail off shrimp
fettuccine noodles
Tony's creole seosoning
salt & pepper
onion
baby bella mushrooms (optional)
olive oil
white white
butter
start by covering bottom of pan with a thin layer of olive oil and 2 TBS butter on medium heat.
add diced onion and mushrooms in skillet let cook till browning begins, add shrimp and seasonings. Cook 6-10 minutes.
reduce heat and add white wine (I add about a 1/2 a cup or a tad less) let that absorb on low to medium heat and simmer for 10 min.
While cooking the shrimp boil water separately for fettuccine noodles. Cook 10-12 min.
Once pasta is done add it to the shrimp skillet and mix together.
You've got yourself a delicious, quick cajun masterpiece.
You can always add seasonings at this point.
Enjoy!
I usually serve with a spring salad.
Let me know if any of you try this dish. It's a favorite!
Have a great Thursday.
XO Brittany
