Thee Dinner is Served



Well, Apparently I can cook.

Or...at least I try and make it look pretty :)
Okay, so I'm NOT really a cooker. I might be -could be but I really don't have anyone to cook for and "try" to impress.
HOWEVER
They say that to get to a Man's heart is through his stomach.
Well, DEAR FUTURE HUBBY WHO IS BEYOND LATE
Does this help? Will this entice you to come out of your closet?
Not THAT closet but at least what ever dumb ugly rock your hiding under!

Whelp. Anywhos this is the dinner I fixed on Monday and it really turned out well So I decided to share! Enjoy :)

3 cups of asparagus cut into pieces
1 cup of diced tomatoes

Cut asparagus into pieces. Enough for three cups. Then place in a microwave baking dish and cover all the way with water. Cook in microwave for 10 minutes.
Dice tomatoes for 1 cup.
After shrimp is done remember to remove the hard shell at the end. Let sit.
