my first time cooking seafood/my husband is a jerk

so, i have never cooked seafood before. why? nick doesn't like it. in fact, if i eat seafood, he gets sicked out and gives me weird looks while i eat it, like this:

so i dont cook it. well, a few nights ago i was craving crab legs and shrimp so i told nick, "we're going to the grocery store. find something you want me to fix you for dinner because i am going to try to cook seafood." so he wandered off to find ingredients that HE was going to cook himself (because my sweet husband is well, sweet) and i approached the seafood market.
now, i have no idea what i'm doing. i did a quick google before i left to find out how to cook crab legs. turns out you just boil the damn thing. roger that. shrimp, i could saute them in a pan or something. roger. i got one thingie of crab (turns out, its called a "cluster" Raymond from HEB Seafood said.) and then i told him i needed some shrimp. now, my gross out factor is relatively high. those things were slimy and sick and were definitely not de-turd-ed. so, this lady went with the good ol' already cooked cocktail shrimp. no one will ever know the difference - well, except my grand total of 8 followers.
we headed home after i grabbed some Louisiana shrimp and crab boil baggies and disgust on nick's end.

this is how my night went. i would give you the recipe, but there is no ingredients. besides bag o' seaoning and sack o' seafood.

i took the bag of frozen already cooked shrimp and thawed them out with cool water. totally grossed nick out when i took one and ate it cold.

and nick is beside me, making whatever he's making. i think he decided upon chicken alfredo. i had a jar of alfredo sauce at home. wasn't sure why he was melting butter - oh well, i gotta concentrate on this seafood.

 boil bag in pot of water, then add crab.

got it.

is that cream cheese nick is adding to the pot? what is he whisking?

boil for a few minutes, like 6. what is that you see in there? oh you know, corn on the cob. because i'm fancy.

what is that smell? is nick already done cooking his noodles? why is that alfredo sauce still in the pantry?

i added the shrimp into the pot for just a couple of minutes. i read something somewhere about how unclean they are when they package shrimp and what not so im thinking a few degrees of hotness will ease my pain - and flavor the shrimp a little.

and its done! i made a garlic butter sauce by sprinkling garlic powder on top of a tablespoon of butter and i put it in a serving dish i stole from chili's. ok, sorry mom. not stole - forgot that i snuck it into my togo bag.








and THIS my friends, THIS is what my husband made. cajun chicken alfredo. with a HOMEMADE alfredo sauce. where in the hell did a recipe for alfredo sauce come up?! why was it so easy for him? i tasted this - it was flippin' amazing! i thought he was going to get one of those microwavable pizza's and do the "its not delivery its dejorno" joke all night. WTF! *sigh* whatever - he's the pasta maker now. jerk.

 for what its worth - and to rub his greatness in - i had a lot of shrimp left over - so he made me a plate of shrimp alfredo for lunch at work the next day. everyone wanted to taste what was smelling so great. it was the alfredo sauce. *gulps the rest of the glass of chardonnay*

oh, btw - here is nick's alfredo sauce recipe:

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.

jerk.
