As the title states, I'm a cook, not a chef, living in a small town. Cooking is my passion, and I like to pretend that I can cook as well as an Iron Chef or bake like Duff Goldman! Actually, I just want a place to share the food I love to make for my friends and family. I strive for good, delicious, simple comfort food :)

Linguine with Shrimp Scampi
Another true and tested recipe that has become a family favorite - shrimp scampi with linguine. And don't worry, I will eventually post recipes not linked to the Food Network :) I like this recipe for its simplicity in preparation and amount of ingredients. Yet, it's full of flavor, very rich, and kinda fancy if you plate it well. What my husband enjoys most about it is that a little goes a long way. It's great for company even when you're on a shoe-string budget like us! A couple of boxes of linguine and a couple of pounds of shrimp and you're done. I usually serve this with crisp, green broccoli that has been quickly blanched and flavored with garlic infused olive oil. And, of course, you need some crusty, buttery french bread as well. My only warning is to cook the shrimp for a short amount of time, just a couple of minutes on each side, really. Enjoy!
