Wednesday's Feast

Our meal was King Crab legs and a pseudo-shrimp/asparagus scampi.

I must blame my Dad for turning us onto crab legs. He scouts the sale ads of Meijer, Dominick's, and Jewel for the deals. A great sale is $5.99/lb and a good sale is $6-7.99/lb. Normal price is around $14/lb. It's nice to eat like a king for cheap.

Now, I knew if my Dad could manage cooking them I could. No offense, he just goes for the simple preparation meals. All you have to do is put about an 1.5" of water in the bottom of a deep spaghetti pot, then add the a crab boil season packet and a quartered lemon. Place the strainer on top of this and then crab legs in the strainer. Steam them for 20-25 minutes from frozen.

And of course we melt butter and dip them in that, but you really don't need to, for they are very flavorful and tender.

Along with this I had some little frozen shrimpies I wanted to use up. Thawed the shrimp. I started with the Magic Bullet, Jeremy got me for Christmas. I blended butter and tons of garlic cloves along with fresh basil, rosemary, oregano, and thyme.

I had already started fettuccine boiling and that was almost done. After it was drained I threw cut asparagus on it with a lid to steam. I then combined shrimp and the butter blend in the

heated pan and sauteed for a couple minutes and then added the noodles and asparagus to the mix. We topped off our plates with a grate of Parmesan.

It was so delicious! Jeremy and I were thinking it would be fun to make this for Yangling and you (if it at all sounds appetizing) and if time have a game night.
