I like to saut? mixed veggies, such as, onions, carrots, mushroom, bell peppers, tomato, zucchini etc. with a little evoo and garlic. While thats cooking I boil up some shaped noodles personally I like penne with this dish. Once those are about done cooking throw the shrimp into a pan with some evoo and pressed garlic, and cook it up. When everything is all done cooking toss them all together in a bowl and mix. I like to add either some parmesan or feta cheese and sprinkle on dried basil or cut up some fresh basil if I have any on hand. If I'm feeling sassy and I dont usually do this with the shrimp, I like to take some chopped up walnuts, pecans or macadamia nuts and toss those in the mix.

I just made one the other night called salt and pepper shrimp.

It's definitely different for us, but we both really enjoyed it. Mirin is also not easy to find, but I googled and found that many people substitute rice vinegar for it, which I had on hand.

Check in the asian food grocery stores or if your on the west coast the asian food grocery section.

Honestly, I didn't feel like making the extra effort to find it. In my google search there were a lot of recommendations for the rice vinegar over the mirin anyway. If I thought I would use it in other things then maybe I would go to an asian grocer

I like to make some angel hair pasta, then saute some garlic in EVOO and add shrimp, remove shrimp and put one can Italian style tomatoes (drained), some white wine (like 1/2c), parsley, basil and a packet of Alfredo powdered sauce. Add shrimp back in and sprinkle with parm cheese! YUM!!! And eat some noodles for me bc I'm low/no carb for a week to try to get this dang baby weight off!!!!
