shrimp and rice

(sorry my camera's in the shop so the rez is terrible on this) A traditional Bahraini dish I learned from my friend Zain years ago, just make a little plain rice, if you can add a little saffron, salt, pepper, capers or whatever your favorite seasonings are and at the same time sautee a couple shrimp (I took the shell off and split them down the middle to butterfly them) in olive oil and some chopped garlic. Add the two together and THATS IT. It incredible how fast you can get a top not meal.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
