Рецепт Linguine with Grilled Shrimp and Peppers
Where do the weekends go? Seems like Friday rolls around and before I know it, I’m rolling out of bed on Monday morning and heading to work. Between blogging, house projects, running errands, and a little socializing, this weekend was gone in a flash.
Another beautiful spring weekend provided the perfect backdrop for the Inman Park Festival. Many neighborhoods in the city of Atlanta host a spring or summer street festival with vendors selling everything from fine art and jewelry to canned salsa and organic dog treats. Of course, the food trucks are peddling the typical carnival food, including gyros, chicken skewers, and pizza.
Inman Park, considered Atlanta’s first suburb, is a neighborhood filled with spectacular Victorian homes that were owned by some of Atlanta’s most prominent families. In the 60s and 70s, the neighborhood developed a bit of a bohemian atmosphere and to this day that same energy permeates the festival.
Many of Atlanta’s mainstream festivals draw people from the surrounding areas, but the Inman Park Festival has maintained more of neighborhood and alternative vibe. A funky parade held on Saturday highlights the festival with colorful costumes, a marching band, and politicians drumming up votes.
We made it to the festival Saturday morning before the crowd and took full advantage of the food and festivities, leaving with full bellies and bags of cool purchases.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I’m firing up my grill every chance I get. This weekend was no exception and for today’s post I grilled large shrimp and red, green, and yellow peppers and served them atop linguine. I finished this light and healthy dish with sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
