Ingredients
* 1 lb Orecchiette
* 1 lb XL shrimp raw/peeled/deveined

* 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
* 1 -2 Garlic cloves minced
* 1/3 cup Chardonnay
* 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
* 1/3 cup Shredded Parmesan
* 1/4 tsp Paprika
* 1 Tbsp Parsley finely chopped, to garnish
* 1/4 cup toasted Walnuts for garnish
* 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
* Sea Salt to taste
* Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Toast walnuts in dry pan, then give them a rough chop. Set aside.
2. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al-dente. Drain.
3. While pasta cooks, season shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika.
4. Place a large, non-stick pan over medium/high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and once oil is hot, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook about 2 min per side or until cooked through and no longer translucent. Remove from pan into a dish to prevent overcooking.
5. In the same pan you cooked the shrimp in, add 2 Tbsp butter chopped shallots and sauté until soft and golden (3-5 mins), stir often. Add garlic and cook another minute. Stir in 1/3 cup white wine and boil down until there is only 25% of the liquid left.

7. Stir in the drained pasta and cooked shrimp, tossing until mixed well. Sprinkle toasted walnuts and parsley. Serve & Enjoy.
Pesto Ricotta Crostini
Valentine's Day is almost here and one small but delicious way to say; “I Love You” is through a romantic appetizer! This Pesto Ricotta Crostini Recipe is an easy but yummy way for you and your loved one to share a moment & make a memory of joy. Here is how to make it:
Ingredients
* A Fresh Baguette
* Extra Virgin Olive Oil
* Garlic Powder
* Grated Parmesan
* Whole Milk Ricotta (Homemade or store bought)
* Pesto (Homemade or store bought)
Instructions
Get a 1 inch tall / 3 inch diameter ring mold and put on a small flat plate. Fill ring half way or more with ricotta, pressing down with a spoon to make it even and compacted in the ring (for extra flavor, mix ricotta with a little sea salt before putting in mold). Top ricotta with pesto, careful not to go all the way to the top of the ring mold. Press with spoon to even out. Place in fridge to set for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Slice Baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices and place on baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with a little extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle a little garlic powder on each slice on both sides. Toast under broiler of oven; turning once one side is toasted to liking. Be careful not to burn. Take out of oven and sprinkle tops of each slice with grated parmesan.
Plating
Get your favorite rectangular plate or serving dish. Place pesto ricotta mold on one end of plate/dish and carefully lift mold off. Arrange baguette slices on the rest of plate, stacking them diagonally on top of each other. Take a fresh basil sprig/leaf and put on top of pesto ricotta. Heart Shaped tea lights are optional but it does make it look romantic. :)
Smear some of the pesto ricotta mix on a slice of the baguette and enjoy!
