This will have to be quick, with much to do on a snowy weekend coming up. For tonight, I'm looking at the "colossal" wild sea scallops that Sprouts has on sale for $9.99 a pound, and previous experience with them is that they really are really big. They'll either be a quick saute on the grill pan, or if I have a little more time, a favorite along the same lines is grilled sea scallops with tomatoes and olive vinaigrette from Gourmet magazine. Even if I don't have time to do the olives, the tomatoes can always go on the grill pan, too. For a side, with asparagus 88 cents a pound at Sprouts this week, it has to be steamed asparagus.
For tomorrow, I'm looking at those huge 16/20 count raw shrimp that Sprouts has for $6.99 a pound and angsting about what to do with them, as there are so many options. Currently winning out is shrimp risotto with baby spinach and basil from Bon Appetit, as Sprouts has continued to have a very good $4.99 a pound price on organic spinach in bulk at last look, after ending the even better $3.99 they were doing on sale.
We'll need to finish off a snowy weekend with something big that can also serve as an easy midweek reheat, and since I'm in the mood for something vegetarian, it will be curried cauliflower soup from the New York Times. It's one of their "recipes for health," which I've always found to be quite good.
Which quickly gets us through the weekend.
