Blackened Shrimp & Cheddar-Pancetta Risotto
If you don’t eat this dish initially, it will get a bit runny towards the end of the week.

Maryland Crab Cakes
Mostly crab, little “fill” taste. The sauce is fantastic over the top (and I usually just like a squeeze of lemon). Nice rice medley too.

Southern Fried Chicken with Spicy Honey
I expected a chicken breast. It was a thigh. I did not enjoy the texture of it.

Chili-Roasted Shrimp
One of my favorite meals. I love this meal. I make it with scrambled eggs. I don't see it anymore. Was it disconnected?
