Hey everybody, it's Rosie, and tonight we are doing dinner for two boo! Yes, yes, yes,
grab your boos because it's about to go down in the kitchen! We have so many
delicious things on the menu, so let's get right to the recipes. So we're
starting off with some white shrimp here. I'm going to remove the shells but keep
the tails. This shrimp was only half a pound and, by the way, I'm not going to
give you the exact recipe--be sure to check out my blog because these recipes
for dinner for two are very, very long and yeah, I want you to have everything
in order for your date night. So make sure you check out my blog and you can
print it out. There so I seasoned some seafood seasoning on my shrimp here, now
I'm going to place my shrimp in the refrigerator for two to three hours. I
really like to make sure that when I make seafood or any other meat on
special nights, I like to make sure the season is good, so I let it sit in the
fridge for a while, while it's seasoning. So now we move to the chicken. I place some
olive oil in there along with minced garlic. Off-camera,
I added brown sugar and as you see, I added my teriyaki marinade. The reason I
added brown sugar, like I said in one of my other videos, is because I don't think
it's sweet enough. If you think your marinade is sweet enough, hey, you don't
have to add brown sugar, but I need to just to get the taste that I'm going for.
So we have our cast iron grill out. It's on medium-high.
I already greased it--I use extra virgin olive oil to grease it this time. And I
want to get these beautiful chicken thighs--I want them to have these
beautiful grill marks so that's why I'm using this grill. I'm not necessarily
trying to grill it completely right now, I just really want it to look like it
was grilled completely, if you get what I'm saying.
So I'm going to dab on some more of that marinade as it grills, you know, because I
want to make sure it's nice and seasoned well. I don't want the marinade just to
slip off. Once I achieve the look that I was looking for--like I said, I love the
grill marks--once I had the grill marks that I wanted, I place my chicken into a
nice baking dish and I'm going to place this
into the oven for 30 minutes on 350 because it was still raw in in the
inside. So once that's baking, I'm gonna take out my shrimp. It's been in the
fridge for about 2 to 3 hours, I want to say I kept mine in for 3 hours. I
drizzled some olive oil on this foil here and I lined my shrimp. I'm going to
place my shrimp in my oven also on 350 for only 5 minutes because it does not
take a long time to cook shrimp, especially in the oven. It's basically
the foolproof way to cook shrimp, by the way--anybody can do it. So now I'm going
to make my garlic butter. This is so easy. I have about 2 tablespoons of butter. I'm
going to squeeze some fresh lemon juice in there and now I'm going to simply add
some minced garlic. I think that was like a teaspoon of garlic, you can use more or
less. I place the bowl in the microwave and it smells good but it looks kind of
blah. You know I like more color to my food, make it look I want it to look--a
little more interesting than it does right there. So I'm going to add some
color by adding some parsley flakes and some paprika. Mix it around, it looks
great. I pulled out my shrimp after 5 minutes and that's what it looks like.
Now I'm going to spoon out the butter. I don't know why i decided to spoon out the
butter because technically, I could have just poured the whole bowl over the
shrimp and it would have been a lot quicker, but I think for the sake of the
video, I want to be fancy, so I use the spoon. I place the shrimp back in the
oven for 2 minutes then I quickly took it out. And now I'm working on my salad.
So I'm using a half-and-half mix, I believe it was half romaine, half baby
spinach. Now I'm using some sweet butter lettuce. I love this mixture--it does not
matter what brand, by the way. And I also cut up some green onions and then I'm
just mixing all of my salad fixings. Tonight, I'm just using the greens, no
tomatoes or anything like that. Just a green salad tonight. And now I'm going to
make sure my salad looks pretty. So we have our chicken, as you can see it came
out pretty, pretty nice. I boiled some eggs, and going to place some shrimp right on
top of our bed of lettuce there. I put the eggs on both sides, just for
presentation. Now I'm adding some croutons on top. Also I'm going to add on
some cheese. This is what I like, you can skip out on that if you don't want that.
I had to sneak a shrimp, that was kind of tacky but anyway... Now I'm going to
garnish my plate--I'm garnishing it with not parsley flakes, but basil--dried basil
flakes because the aroma is just so delicious. And I'm going to place lemon
on the plate as well. And that was my finished look! If you want to add a salad
dressing, hey that's great but I love it with the lemon, which is so, so
good. So don't forget, if you like these dinner for two recipes and video
