Fresh picked cilantro goes into a modified recipe of Jamie’s called spaghetti with shrimp and arugula. I don’t have arugula…..so I changed things out a bit.
Fresh pasta topped with shrimp, garlic, zucchini, mushrooms and anything in the fridge that looked like it needed using.
Served with a fruit salad, sitting on the patio, enjoying icy cold Chardonnay……ah…it’s a good life.
I have to mention that the tomato plants have gotten quite large, especially compared to a plant I put in the ground close to the same time we planted in the Worm’s Way container. We are considering the purchase of another planting box and that good potting soil to grow more peppers.
You know what to do – surf over to I Heart Cooking Club and see what herby concoctions our fellow cooks and bakers have come up with!
Please sir, may I have another!
It doesn't get any better than shrimp and pasta. So glad to see your herbs and tomatoes are doing so well. It's great being able to go out back and grab things to eat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. We are enjoying it. A very large rabbit has been eyeing the tomatoes so...we need to guard our stash!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful! I've seen the same look on Cooper's face many times. You should see him dance for beef jerky! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get over your tomato plant; wow! he just planted them and we have to cover them everynight; threat of frost. Next week I am hoping to plant my herbs.
ReplyDeleteYou were right with "is". ☺ The subject of your sentence was "theme" (singular).
ReplyDeleteWow, your garden is really blooming! My tomatoes are just seedlings still, we just passed our safe planting date up here.
Love the pasta with shrimpies and herbs - delicious!
Avrugula? Is that rocket? Are you remembering to pinch out the inside shoots on the tomatoes? Awake and ready to fly T *wriggles with excitement*
ReplyDeletegood looking shrimp, gonna throw some on the grill this weekend, mex spice & lime should do it... really like that way of planting, makes me want to get back in growing tomatoes, but every year I swear it off after only reaping 1 or 2 weeks of tomatoes, it just gets too hot by that time, humidity....
ReplyDeleteShrimp, pasta, wine and fresh herbs from your garden. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteJanel - these dogs are such beggers, I can't resist them!
ReplyDeleteRita - But you're in Canada...and we have deadly awful heat. Do you have a greenhouse? I'd love for Doug to build one!
Natashya - Ok, it sounded like "is"...and me with a university education, not knowing that - HA! We started up on drinks last night Mmmm..
Jo - Doug clipped the suckers and then some. We are journaling so we know what to do next season. I have made some mistakes. Have a blast in Spain!!
Drick - It is humid but I am getting a kick out of the tomatoes. Your grilled shrimp sounds great. We made a variation of your green bean casserole. Post coming up!
Brenda - We could be ina Mastercard commercial, right?!
Shrimp with herbs, delicious! Such nice flavors in the recipe. Your plants are doing well, nice to have fresh tomatoes from the garden soon!
ReplyDeleteNot only a nice glass of chardonnay on the patio,but shrimp pasta with one of my favorite herbs,cilantro! Sounds like a nice meal.
ReplyDeleteLove the doggie pic!
ReplyDeleteThe pasta looks light and summery.
Oh, I've had a craving for shrimp lately...and this would surely cure it! It looks wonderful. Wish I was sitting on the (as in, your) patio with a plate of this and a bottle of wine ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fresh and delicious dish--the more cilantro the better for me. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCutest post! (And cute dog)
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for the kind comments! Kobe hasa way of getting into the photos :-)
ReplyDeleteI love just about any combination of shrimp and pasta you can come up, and this sounds like a winner - love the use of cilantro as a change from the arugula, and the addition of mushroom and courgette sounds great too.
ReplyDeleteI would happily sit on your patio anytime and share a bowl of this and a glass of chardonnay - please??!
Sue xo
Sue - anytime!!
