I'm not an optimist, you understand: I just refuse to be sick. Standing to cook, though, is a pain. So I rummaged through the fridge, pulled out a bag of boiled shrimp (Louisiana style, naturally), and piled them on a plate. I tipped about a tablespoon of sea salt on the plate, ground some black pepper on it, and squeezed lime juice over the little pile.
Peel a shrimp, dip it in the mixture, and pop it. Easiest lunch in a week.
That's what I loved about living in San Diego; you could eat a day or two being laid up indoors, but you could always bank on a nice day right around the corner. Really used to love OB this time of year.
ReplyDeleteShrimp look great by the way.
They were good, Michael — the perfect light lunch. I've got half a mind to crank out another batch just so I can have leftovers.
ReplyDeleteToday's another (predictably) beautiful one, so once lunchtime rolls around, I'm headed to the bamboo grove off the patio with a book. It's not OB, but I'll take it.
Get better soon, so you can enjoy that mild weather for the rest of us!
