Cucumber salad dressed with vinegar and sesame seeds; shrimp fra diavolo served with homemade rolls. Michael's night to cook (of course). Appetizer course was the cucumber salad. It was good, but a little vinegary.
The dinner rolls, as always, were excellent.
Michael cooked the pasta in a microwave pasta cooking plastic box, which was a gift from his mom. I was a little skeptical about cooking pasta in the microwave, but it worked surprisingly well. The pasta came out perfectly cooked.
For the shrimp, Michael flambed it. Not to worry, I was standing nearby with a fire extinguisher.
Although the finished product looked great and the shrimp were cooked very well, Michael added a little (lot?) too many crushed red pepper flakes and the dish was very, very, very diavolo. So much so, unfortunately, I need to push this meal in the "can't all be winners" category.
