Shrimp two ways, both from Epicurious: Cucumber Gazpacho with Shrimp and Melon, and Spiced Stonington Shrimp Steamed in Beer. There is a story here--Carl was making the Gazpacho, and misread the amount of shrimp needed. When it turned out there was way too much, he decided to make a second recipe! Not only did these both taste excellent, they actually played off each other very nicely. And Carl had an opportunity to use the remaining delicious mayonnaise he made last week!

Wine: 2007 Piere Sauvignon Vie di Romans. Great match with both dishes!
