I all the time wish to theme the month with the meals. June is a month to honor fathers.
My dad, Russ Camarata, was a hard-working butcher by commerce. We all the time had the most effective meat and seafood rising up. Alioto’s, a well-known restaurant in San Francisco, employed my dad to be their seafood and meat purchaser, and my brother Chaz was employed to be a sous chef when launching “Alioto’s Honolulu” in 1978.
I used to be attempting to consider my Dad’s favourite dish to share, however actually, this man cherished the whole lot from prime sirloin steak, which he mentioned had the most effective taste, to pork chops any type, rooster and all varieties of seafood. When my brother would go to my Dad, Chaz would all the time prepare dinner his model of shrimp scampi, a lot to my Dad’s delight. So in honor of them each, mangia!
This dish comes collectively rapidly, so prep the whole lot earlier than you begin cooking. Any questions or feedback, contact me at cjvigos@yahoo.com.
