After my run/walk cell game and a bike ride around the neighborhood, I wanted to use up my zucchini and tomatoes before they went bad in dinner. I thawed some shrimp and chopped up tons of veggies. At one point in time I had 4 burners on my stove going. This is what was cooking:

Burner #1:

  • 1/2 pound of extra large shrimp boiling in water

Burner #2

  • sliced zucchini
  • sliced mushrooms
  • garlic wine seasoning
  • 1/2 c. water

Burner #3

  • Barilla pasta plus boiling in water

While these things were cooking, I chopped 2 large fresh tomatoes 1/2 c. fresh mozzarella, and 6 basil leaves. I added salt and pepper and tossed it in a large stir-fry pan, turned off.

Burner #4

While the burner is off, I let the tomato/mozz. sit on it. When the shrimp, pasta and veggies were cooked, I added them all to tom./mozz. and turned the burner on. This melted the cheese and mixed everything together. Before serving, I added garlic salt and pepper.

We enjoyed dinner on deck at dusk/complete darkness. 🙂

To make things more simple:

  • 1/2 pound of large shrimp
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 c. sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 c. fresh mozzarella
  • 2 tomatoes
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 Tbs. EVOO
  • 1/2 c. fresh basil
