Fennel and Garlic Shrimp

Fennel and Garlic Shrimp a very flavorful dish which can be served as first course. The sweetness of fennel perfectly compliments the shrimp and elevates its delicate flavor.

I have to say a few years ago when I used to watch Food Network cookery shows I used to think …hmm .. the spice level in the dishes made on it was soo low that would it even taste good. Blogging has pushed me to try new dishes I would never even venture in the past.

My teen gave me a big thumbs up on this recipe.. trust me sometimes not majorly spiced veggie and seafood combination has its flavor stand out and that is super delicious..nothing like you would expect.

This recipe is an exact extract from Ina Garten’s book. She is my favorite host on Food Network for reasons you will never even imagine ?  She cooks with real butter and oil, though she is largely criticized for copious amounts of it, I personally believe its better than any artificial substitute.
Well.. she makes me believe in love… not  for the Facebook profile or on camera fake kind ? but  by being married for almost 50 years with the man she fell in love and still staying very much in love, cook what he likes, write a book for him (Cooking for Jeffery) ..I mean.. is that not hard and the sweetest and rarest thing these days.

Frozen shrimp is used here.
