Honey's Birthday Dinner

Last night was Jose's birthday. I didn't have any plans for dinner for him, because we were both gonna do seperate things. Well, I got sick and our plans changed. I went to the store after picking the kids up from school and bought stuff for his dinner.

Pasta & Shrimp in Butter-Garlic Sauce, Garlic Bread, Salad

PASTA
~1 lb of Pasta (I used Angel hair, but prefer Linguine for this dish)
*Cook As Directed

SHRIMP IN BUTTER-GARLIC SAUCE
~2lbs of Shrimp, de-veined & shell/tail removed
~1 stick of REAL butter
~6-8 garlic cloves (depending on your palate)
~Ground Pepper & Salt
~Parsley
*Melt the butter in pan on medium-high heat, you don't want to burn your butter. I add a bit of olive oil to help w/ the melting process. Press garlic and add to the butter/oil, grind in salt & pepper, add parsley. Mix it all up and toss in the shrimp. Cook just until they turn pink (you DO NOT want to overcook shrimp!).
*Toss all over Pasta

GARLIC BREAD
*Feel free to make your own, but we like this:

Cook according to package directions

SALAD
~Bag of mixed greens
~1-2 Cucumbers
~2-3 Tomatoes
Chop the bigger vegis up, toss into greens & enjoy!

Very easy, took about a total of 40 mins to do it all & it was a HIT!
