A night at the Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk

Yesterday night we went with our friends to the Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk. Monday and Tuesday nights are .75 cents for any ride and even food. It's a great deal. In case you're in town let me know and I'll come with you to ride the giant dipper and I'll even make the garlic shrimp spaghetti I threw together for dinner before heading out for a night of amusement (mostly kiddie ride, but hey what can you do?!)

Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti

• 1/2 packet of your favorite spaghetti
• 8 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 10-15 medium sized frozen shrimp
• 1 tablespoon leeks (optional)
• fresh Romano cheese (optional)
  

1. Cook the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain immediately (while it cooks you can prepare the shrimp)
   
2. while the spaghetti is cooking finely chop the garlic
3. Add the olive oil to a hot skillet
   
4. let the oil warm up for about 45 seconds. Make sure the oil doesn't burn
5. Add the frozen shrimp to the skillet and cover the for about 2 minutes
6. Add the garlic to the skillet and saute for for 1 minute
7. when the spaghetti is ready add to the skillet and saute for an additional 2 minutes stirring constantly so that the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
8. garnish with leeks and Romano cheese

For dessert we had .75cents cotton candy!
