OT - Prawn recipes?
Thanks for the sauce ideas, Nightmist. I have always settled for a rice
wine vinegar/soy sauce/ginger/garlic dipping sauce, but yours sounds much better. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "NightMist" wrote in message ...

Please help! -- Jo in Scotland My DGD loves anything "Alfredo", I saute Shrimp (or chicken) in a combo of butter and olive oil with a whole crushed clove of garlic(optional), remove shrimp or chicken, add 1 c. heavy cream, 1/2 c. parmesean cheese, do not boil, add cooked pasta for young children I would use bowties, or even smaller pasta like ditalini or orzo, return shrimp or chicken to the mixture, Adjust salt and pepper, carefully since Parm cheese can be salty....can sprinkle with chopped parsley for color and/or add cooked carrots and peas.....

I discovered I misspelled "datemaki"
Datemaki sauce is just what we call at my house, where it is very favored for vegetarian datemaki, egg strands, and all manner of oriental omelettey goodness.
