It's still hot in my neck of the woods, well, my little corner on the shore, and I'm tired of the heat. But I wanted to make a nice dish for Fish Friday Foodies using Shrimp, of course, for this month's theme of Fish and Seafood Pasta.
This month's inspiration came from Caroline Williams at Caroline's Cooking .
I actually made some Shrimp Piccata a few years ago and had never shared the recipe. YIKES!
I decided that since I'd never shared how to make it here, it would be perfect for our Fish Friday Foodies event, especially if I paired it with some Roasted Garlic Fettucine. But then the fettucine didn't turn out, so I went back into the pantry and found these. Rice Noodles and went, hmmmm, I wonder how that will work.
It worked.
And umm, I had to do it, make Shrimp again for my Fish Friday Foodies offering.

This is the wine I used in the sauce. Is that not a cool looking bottle? The wine's pretty good too.

That's a very cool looking wine bottle! Love your shrimp too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it though? It's a lovely wine and I thought it was the perfect one to use in my Shrimp Piccata for Fish Friday Foodies, lol. Thanks
DeleteI agree, great bottle! And your dish sounds tasty too. Thanks for joining in this month's theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was fun, and best of all I got to showcase my wine bottle, lol.
DeleteWine and shrimps I am sure your must have enjoyed your meal.
ReplyDeleteI did and had fun with the challenge this month as well.
DeleteThis sounds good! I added lemon zest to my recipe this month too, I love how it brightens up the taste of dishes. And that bottle is great, it would sure make a great conversation piece while you drank the wine!
ReplyDeleteLemon zest is magical. I usually have some on hand in the freezer. Is that not the most amazing bottle? I'm saving it to use for something else. A local restaurant puts their special dressing in those wine bottles and it's a unique and fun thing to do.
DeleteThere is nothing more gratifying than a pantry that will allow you to make a last-minute find! And have it work! Good job. I'm on the bottle love train, too. P~
ReplyDeleteI agree. Which is why my pantry is usually stocked with fun stuff. I have to play with some ideas for that bottle, it is such a fun shape. And I thought perfect for Fish Friday Foodies.
DeleteI think using rice noodles was a stroke of genius. YUM>
ReplyDeleteThank you, I thought it was pretty brilliant myself, lol.
DeleteYour Shrimp Piccata with Rice Noodles look fantastic! Hope you have a great week and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
