BARBECUED SHRIMPS AND CHEDDAR CHEESE SPAGHETTI

by:




This is a cheesy story with a cheesy happy ending. :D I meant to cook barbecued shrimps and cheesy grits yesterday, but surprise, surprise, there was not even a single box of grits available even at our huge Duty Free store. So this cheesy cook decided to ditch her cheesy dream of a big blob of cheesy creamy grits, and instead, decided to make cheesy pasta. And finally, when the smoky barbecued shrimps were done, and the cheddar cheese spaghetti was loved and cuddled in gooeyness (I dont think there is such a word, hmmm?) and when the cheesy cook tasted the cheese and the shrimps and felt the sharp poke of the skewer on her upper lip, she proudly declared, THIS IS A DARN GOOD CHEESY DISH THAT PAIRS DARN WELL WITH THESE SMOKY SHRIMPS! :D Ahh, a cheesy ending indeed!
