With pleasure! That looks spectacular and primavera is one of my favorites. Add in goat cheese and it is over the top deliciousness. On my way over....

last minute Audible - post-vaccination liberties :-)
the shrimp is frozen and its only 15-20 minutes for thawing. I found an easy basic recipe. I even bought a chimichurri sauce and Nopalitos tortilla chips today with the shrimp in mind. Hopefully tomorrow but I have a Thursday booty call I mean poker play date so thats all I really care about right now. Ooh maybe Ill get the poker chips set up :-)

I am still not getting how you guys play poker outside in these cold nights. It has been freezing most evenings here.

If you don't have the time to allow something to thaw slowly, that is a good method. When foods are frozen, little ice crystals form and if something is thawed quickly the texture may suffer. Whether it is a steak or a shrimp, allowing for a slow thaw is always preferable.

A turmeric chicken and asparagus stir fry over brown rice. Mr. CE cooked, so I'm not certain but suspect it's this recipe.

So odd that the raw wild Argentine shrimp comes in 1.5 lb bags at my Costco but 4lb bags at yours . Are you sure you aren't at the business center? Lol

(For those who wonder, the numbers refer to how many are in a pound. So lower numbers, like 13-15, are huge, while 31-40s, for example, would be about half the size.)

I just looked on Costco Instacart and he probably bought the farm raised 13-15 white shrimp, which comes in 4 pound bags. (@gaobest, always buy wild, not farm-raised!) Also, 13-15s may look impressive, but I find them to be too big for most cooking. Sure, they look great in a shrimp cocktail, but the 31-40s are better for most recipes.

I love the 13/15 or maybe 16/20. When they are big, it is easier to grill them.

Last night we had grilled marinated flank steak. It was so good that tonight, for dinner, we made sandwiches with the leftovers with provolone on La Brea sourdough baguette.
