Creamy shrimp scampi pasta

Something Smells Fishy...

Shrimp scampi is one of my favorites, it’s no secret. Ever since I saw Tyler Florence make it on Food network and realized it was so easy to make I was hooked. I have made it countless times over the last seven years. It’s the first video recipe I ever posted and the most popular recipe on my youtube channel with over 18,000 views. Most recently I began making it onto a one pot meal by adding cream and pasta. So I figured I would share the recipe with you all.

Pot of Jamaican Gold

Its Jamaica’s Independence month!!!

And in proper Jamaican fashion I will dedicate this month to all foods and drinks indigenous to my home country. But don’t expect the traditional methods; I’m still the Greedy Girl after all. So expect Jamaican dishes with a twist.

DISCLAIMER

If you are on a diet, trying to diet, want to diet or need to diet. This is not the recipe for you; it’s pure decadence, rich, sweet, heaven on a plate comfort food. So please check out a less fatty post…You have been warned.

Calling all Burger lovers

You know in the movies when an idea comes to a character? The angels sing, clouds part and a light shines on their faces? This is exactly what happened to me when I concocted this idea to make a burger, but stuff the beef with cheese before cooking.

Grilled chicken alfredo tonight?

I am a firm believer in taking lunch to work from left overs. Sunday cooking is the best because you get at least two days of packed lunch. I'm such a left over lover, I will cook during the week after work, just so I have a packed lunch for the morning.

Shrimp Scampi like a Pro

First and foremost I have to give a shout out to Red Lobster for introducing me to shrimp scampi. It was here that I had my very first taste, one of my guilty pleasures. It’s no secret that their version is way too oily and salty, but its soooo yummy, who can resist? My goal was always to make a shrimp scampi that tasted just like theirs, minus the overdose of butter and hypertensive salt content.

Cooking haul !!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!! 

I interrupt your regular scheduled program, due to the fact that I am overjoyed about my recent kitchen purchases. And by recent I mean I just got these delivered to me 20 minutes ago.

 I have been very interested in a cookware line Joseph Joseph, they make the most colorful modern and unique utensils.  I really had to show some restraint and only purchase items I needed, because lord knows there were a lot of things I wanted.

Spicy Pineapple Bacon Jam

Say what now?

Does bacon have any limitations? Apparently not, who knew you could make a jam with bacon? It’s a secret that I found out on a BBC food program, about 6 years ago! I always wanted to try it, but I just never got around to it.

Cookie cutter eggs

Woke up one weekday morning and began to browse on Facebook (Facebook first thing in the morning? Hello my name is Tay and i'm an addict). I follow a page called interesting and creative designs. They posted some food art, where someone made ring molds from green and red bell peppers which they cooked sunny side eggs inside. GENIUS!!! Breakfast was served.

Can’t cook without

There are just some things you can’t live without, can’t do without. Likewise there are some kitchen utensils you can cook without. You don’t even realize how deep this unnatural dependency is until your rummaging through a friends kitchen drawer fighting back tears and wondering how she survives without a mallet.
