One of my favorite things to eat is SEAFOOD! I would rather eat seafood than a nice juicy steak. So it was only fitting that I prepare a meal consisting of shrimp for Meal #12 which was Shrimp Carbonara. I didn't exactly follow the recipe since it instructed you to blend of of the ingredients into a blender. I didn't want to bust out the blender only to take it apart to clean it, yeah I know lazy me ;p
I forgot to take a picture of this since it was so YUMMY! Maybe I'll remember next time as I want to add more seafood to it like scallops, crab, and such. Here is the recipe for you to try out.
