Cloud 10 Presents: Food Porn (Butter Garlic Shrimp)

Glorious, sinfully delicious and a pinch of healthiness..

If you know me its not secret that I am a FAT MAN trapped in a skinny body, I live, breath and sleep for the next meal.  My love of food has made me sneak to the kitchen/plate section of the buffet line during the Christmas prayer (my granny prays long alright), my affair with food has also meant many hours spent watching the great chefs of the Food Network throwdown and give me ideas on how to refine my cooking skills.  It has meant lots of time spent cultivating and developing my taste for exotic cuisine. I am always on the hunt for the next great meal!

I should thank my father for forcing me to learn how to cook at a young age, I took his skills and started cooking from the gut.  I developed my own palette and VOILA!!! Notorious B.I.G. trapped in Rickey Smiley's body!!

Anyway this recipe for Butter Garlic Shrimp I tried by accident at my girlfriend Kina's house.  She and her roommate Gen made dinner and I dropped by unexpectedly to give her some concert tickets.  The beautiful aroma that greeted me as I entered the living room told me I had to know and try whatever it was they were eating. Here it is! Thanks Ladies!

Shrimp and/or Scallops
Whole Wheat Spaghetti (Cooked with olive oil, salt and water and Strai)
3 Cloves of Finely Diced Garlic
1/2 Onion Diced Thinly
2 White Mushrooms (Optional) Diced Thinly
Dried or Fresh Basil (a pinch a nigga don't be measuring I cook from my eyes, taste buds and gut yo....)
Fresh Chopped Spinach (Use your discretion, not too much)
Pinch of Parsley
2 tbsp of butter
1 teaspoon of Olive Oil
2 tbsp of freshly grated or dried Parmesan cheese
Salt to Taste


In a medium pan melt your butter, add your diced veggies and sautee until they're soft. Lower heat and add peeled shrimps/scallop cook until shrimp are orange.

Your pasta should be close to done or finished, turn off and strain and let sit until you are ready.

Add your pasta to the pan of sauteed shrimp and a garlic mix. Mix well, add a bit more butter (if it looks dry) and season with salt, basil and parsley. Add spinach and stir in Parmesan so that they're not overcooked and gooey.

When spinach looks tender, turn off heat, serve and CRUSH!!

Thank my baby Kina!
