Shrimp Scampi in Wine Sauce (Alcoholic and non-Alcoholic version)

Yes, and it's another round of legitimate food this week. The shrimp scampi I made was cooked in white wine, but I've also included a recipe that gives the shrimp that same kind of tang without the liquid of sin.

Beautiful version of everything that was right about the Prohibition movement, courtesy of Wikipedia: "There was a clear consensus that while alcohol was a gift from God, its abuse was from the Devil."

Amen

Strawberry Mousse: Isn't it Romantic?

Perfect for the summer and just the right thing to make at Valentine's Day for that special someone yourself. This will definitely get me to stop sitting alone eating post-Valentine's discount chocolate from CVS whilst watching Quantum Leap reruns. (The chocolate part, not the Quantum Leap part, are you kidding me? Scott Bakula, you're teh man)

Because the cream:strawberries:sugar ratio is a personal choice, this recipe is pretty loose in terms of proportion. I like mine less sweet with more cream and less strawberries, but that's just me.

I put my mousse in a huge bowl and the leftover mousse in wine glasses to make it look pretty, but it's a solid substance a lot like whipped yogurt.
