Last night, I stirred up some shrimp alfredo with angel hair noodles. I don't make the sauce from scratch (I use Buitoni brand) but I do take care with the shrimp. I dust them with salt, pepper & paprika, then saute them with garlic & shallots. Then I squeeze some lemon juice over them & combine all that with the noodles & sauce. It turned out pretty well, though I forgot to add the lemon juice until the very end. Still tasty.

While grocery shopping today, I stopped by the meat department to restock my shrimp supply (it's on sale) & found, to my delight, fresh alligator! I've never known that to be sold at Kroger, ever. I've only had alligator once, at a cajun restaurant in Belleville (since closed) about seven years ago. It was surprisingly delicious.

Now I must do some recipe research. :)
