Lobster Tails in a Buttery White Wine Sauce

13Nov09

I never really liked lobster because it looks like a giant shrimp and for $8, I can only eat 1 lobster tail but for $8, I can eat 32 shrimp. Quantity isn’t just the only reason. In restaurants in Hong Kong, they always cook it with spaghetti and cheese or in a simple garlic sauce. [...]

Creamy Tomato & Shrimp Fettuccine

10Nov08

I can’t believe I haven’t posted any shrimp dishes yet. Shrimp is my favorite seafood. When I lived in Hong Kong (age 8-15), I used to eat 1-2 pounds of fresh shrimp almost every night. Shrimp in Texas is not good. They’re all previously frozen and the shrimp texture is not what I’m used to. [...]
