Miscellaneous Wednesday

Happy Wednesday I 
know it is the middle of the week but it could still be date night, right?  Especially if maybe you have been seeing a certain person for the past 3 months, maybe you might feel the need to surprise with a little something something.  So  our sweet Danny needs to get himself home since he made a date with Gabby for a quiet little dinner, yet boss man not making it very easy (as usual). Not only giving our hero a hard time about the date, but about cooking the meal, remember the fritata Danno?  



Danny with his east coast ego in check plans on heading forward with a simple, light and burn proof meal.  Even make it easier, buy a bag of steamer veggies,  and rice, you are more than set.  Besides what could be more romantic than shrimp and lobster tails.... a bottle of white wine, the rest, Danny I leave to you.  You new lady love, beautiful, so as  Danny and Gabby enjoy I do hope you do as well. 








Kapalina Shrimp and Lobster Tails served with Hot Lime Butter


1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce*
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 small lobster tails, meat removed from shell and coarsely chopped
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup white wine
Cooked white rice


  1. Mix 1/2 cup of butter with hot pepper sauce and lime juice in a small bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; stir in shrimp and lobster tails. Cook and stir until shrimp just turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and white wine; continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are tender, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the Key lime juice mixture until melted.  Serve over cooked rice.
* You may cut down on pepper sauce or just use ground black pepper if you do not like spicy
