Can't Decide??? Go With Both!

Surf & Turf with a with a hint of German flair

My favorite times cooking are when the menu is blank and the ingredients are scarce and I really don't know what I am going to create until I start.  Last night was one of those nights.

Most days, I don't know what will be on the menu until I head home from work.  But, yesterday I woke up with a craving for shrimp pasta.  That is until I saw a restaurant ad featuring a delicious fillet mignon.

It just so happens that the seafood market in my neighbor carries great steaks.  So when I eyed a lobster tail beside the fresh shrimp, my mind flashed back to the photo of the fillet.

While I had the ingredients to cook the shrimp pasta, I had to be creative with what was on my market shelves in the kitchen.  The result; surf & turf with spätzle and cabbage.
