Comments:

This started off with intentions of being Shrimp Scampi but I'm not entirely sure it ended up being Shrimp Scampi. However it's similar enough in my books to stick to being called Shrimp Scampi. Traditionally Shrimp Scampi is supposed to be served on top of Linguine however it was faster to cook the spirals than linguine also I think I might make a couple of tweaks to the recipe

Comments:

I love Quesadillas, they're so easy to make and a great alliterative to toasted sandwiches and I also love Tortillas mainly because unlike normal bread- it doesn't go moldy as quickly and they can be used for a lot of things
