Shrimp Lemon Feta

Restaurant: Ritual, Main Street

The Facts: White Wine, Lemon zest, capers and kalamata olives served over linguine. Five large shrimp are nicely arranged with a slice of lemon.

Foodie’s Review: The dish was beautifully served with reduction sauce artistically decrated on the plate. The flavors were a little overwhelming with all the feta and olives—becoming too salty between the flavors of the feta competition with the flavors of the olives. The flavors brought out from the pasta and shrimp, although rich and distinct, were overshadowed by the cheese and olives.

Gamberi Julianna

Gamberi Julianna available at Piccolo's on Shrewsbury Street.

Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Sautéed jumbo shrimp, baby spinach, maccheroni, roasted garlic, cracked black peppercorns and pink vodka sauce.

Foodie’s Review: Ingredients were fresh and flavors balanced. Garlic and black peppercorn did not overpower. Although a little light on the spinach, the spiraling maccheroni pasta appeared perfectly blush beneath the not-to-thick, not-to-heavy pink vodka sauce. After consuming a hearty portion, I knew, as I lay down my fork, that I would have just enough for lunch tomorrow.
