It’s Finally Friday and Chef John from Nazzaro’s is sharing one of his signature dishes with us! This looks so yummy, I know I’ll be making it over the weekend! I’ve added the salad and wine to complete the meal…Bon Appetit!

Pinot Grigio
Chef John’s Shrimp Ala Vodka
Serves 4
32 Georgia white shrimp
extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
8 ounces fresh spinach
2 ounces vodka
2 cups marinara sauce touch of heavy cream
Sauté shrimp in a teaspoon or so of olive oil. Add all other ingredients toss with penne pasta. Serve with a shaving of fresh parmigiano reggiano cheese and cracked black pepper.
Crisp Caesar Salad
2 heads of romaine lettuce, outside leaves removed
juice of one lemon
1/4 olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 small box anchovies, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup freshly parmigiano reggiano cheese
cracked black pepper to taste.
Clean the lettuce and cut in 1 inch strips. Refrigerate to keep crisp and chilled. In a wooden salad bowl add the olive oil and lemon juice, whisking to combine. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk well to form a thick dressing. Put the lettuce in the salad bowl just before serving and toss well. Garnish croutons if desired.
Pour a nice glass of chilled Pinot Grigio and enjoy!
NOTE: If you just don’t feel like cooking this weekend, make reservations to dine at Nazzaro’s and let Chef John make this delicious dish for you!
