Lebron sucks!

Lemon Pasta with Roasted Shrimp
~ Ingredients


* 2 pounds (17 to 21 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined

Quickly toss the angel hair with the melted butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Add the shrimp and serve hot.

We also made home salsa , which we have made before....also some pork chops marinated in Worcestershire sauce for the afternoon with some "sloppy potatoes" they do not look very appetizing but they are.

Sloppy Potatoes

slice some potatoes and onions thin and simmer in water till soft, like a inch of water at most put the lid on the pan it will cook faster, then when they are soft and starting to break up add milk or cream (maybe a 1/2 cup) and butter , salt and pepper to taste, let them heat through and thicken up. you can also add cheese on top if you want them even a little better :)


Enjoy!
