Ham, Swiss cheese, Dijon, and oh-so-buttery Hawaiian rolls, all baked to absolute perfection. So easy and perfect for a big crowd!
This is technically classified as an appetizer. You know, for all those big crowds and for general entertaining. It’s easy to make, it serves 12, and it’s a crowd favorite. But hey, I will absolutely make this for dinner on the regular for a party of two.
And there’s absolutely no shame in that at all.
Super buttery Hawaiian rolls baked until the cheese has melted into all that ooey gooey goodness. And the buttery-Dijon insides with the ham. So so good.
And because they’re sliders, they’re quite small. So they disappear VERY QUICKLY.
So be sure to keep count. It’ll go by fast.

Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice made healthier using leftover cooked brown rice, a delicious whole grain that’s high in fiber, so it fills you up.
Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice
Fried rice is definitely on my favorite foods list, I absolutely love it! Sure, sometimes I go low-carb with Cauliflower Fried Rice, which is fine but when I go all out, I much prefer making it with leftover brown rice (see How To Cook Perfect Brown Rice).
Especially those that involve silky-smooth, creamy, lemon pappardelle ribbons topped with freshly ground black pepper and a pile of impossibly juicy, buttery, tender jumbo shrimp. Is there anything more romantic than a fork-twirl of creamy noodles with some cooked shrimp to effortless perfection in ONLY BUTTER? I cannot even express my love properly. The simplicity, the purity of textures and flavors, the combination of everything on the plate… goodbye.
Reasons date night pastas are ideal:
Just because it’s date night! You don’t have to wait for Valentine’s or a reason to celebrate, or even another person, for that matter. It’s a special treat, a little mini-celebration of life and love, just because! Nothing better than that.
Pasta is fancy-feeling.
Pasta is manageable and fast.
Pasta can be made in small-ish batches.
Pasta is SO SERIOUSLY GOOD.
Pasta goes well with wine. Which goes well with date night.
We’re Making Lemon Pappardelle with Shrimp!
Step 1: Boil your noodles. After they’re done cooking, set them aside and toss with a little olive oil so that they don’t stick together.
Step 2: Add your garlic to a pool of melted butter. Add your white wine (sizzzzzzle!) and cream. Bring to a simmer and in goes your fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and Parmesan cheese.
Step 3: Cook up your cute little shrimp. Just a couple minutes per side here.
Step 4: Add your noodles to the warm, creamy sauce and pile those buttery shrimp on top. Fresh, bright, fancy-feeling date night comin’ right up!
Lemony, creamy, silky, rich, delicate, simple and elegant all in one. It is the food manifestation of the heart-eye emoji. Go now. ♡
Lemon Pappardelle with Shrimp! Creamy, lemony, silky pasta piled high in a bowl with buttery shrimp and freshly cracked black pepper. Everything you need for date night!
Ingredients
1 lb. uncooked shrimp
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 teaspoonfresh garlic, grated (less than one clove)
1/4 to 1/2 cup white wine(I usually eyeball it)
1/2 cupheavy cream
1/2 teaspoonsalt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese(optional)
1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8 ounces pappardelle or fettuccini pasta(egg pasta or fresh pasta – yum)
freshly grated black pepper
Instructions
Pasta: Cook according to package directions (add a big pinch of salt to your water for better-tasting pasta). Drain and reserve some water. Toss pasta with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt, and flip when pink (1-2 minutes per side). Cover with foil and set aside.
Assemble: Toss your pasta with the warm sauce. Serve alongside a pile of fresh, juicy, hot, buttery shrimp. Serve with freshly cracked black pepper and little wedges of lemon. Ooooh baby.
Notes
Shrimp: Tail off, tail on – either works. I usually look for the larger size (16-20 per pound).
