Last Friday I cooked dinner for a large group of people who got together to throw a surprise birthday for a beloved cousin. Italian-themed, I baked a 10 pound lasagna, nursed dough for 6 focaccias, and made blackened shrimp alfredo and linguine with shrimp and clams. It was all a big hit, some of the recipes are below. The birthday girl loves shrimp, plus it was Friday during Lent, so two of the dishes were seafood. First up, we blackened 2 pounds of shrimp and added them to a rich, creamy alfredo sauce loaded with good cheese and thickened with a couple of eggs. Next, a riff on linguini with clams--I went with canned clams, and sautéed shrimp in lots of garlic and butter, with a sauce of clam juice, onion, garlic, and tasty tomatoes. And the final recipe is from the archives; crawfish are in season, albeit scarce, and I bought the first artichokes of the season earlier this week, so the classic stuffed artichoke. Enjoy the recipes, stay safe and healthy, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind. Best regards, Susan Ford, Publisher and Editorial Director
