Mix in bell pepper, tomatoes, and basil. In a separate small bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic. 4. Roll pizza crust into a 12x15 inch rectangular baking sheet.

Grilled Shrimp with Fresh Tomato Sauce and Angel Hair Pasta Ingredients • ¼ cup herb-infused extra-virgin olive oil • ½ lemon, juiced • salt and ground black pepper to taste • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined • 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta • 2 teaspoons herb-infused extra-virgin olive oil • ½ red onion, thinly sliced • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • ½ cup dry white wine • ¼ cup heavy cream • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley Directions 1. Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze ingredients in the bag to combine. Add shrimp. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and move shrimp around in the bag to coat in the marinade. Place in a tray or plate so shrimp are in a single layer. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes. 2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain. 3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Place a heat-proof skillet on one side of the grill to heat with the grill. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers. 4. Place shrimp skewers onto the hot grate and grill until the shrimp turn white and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill. 5. Meanwhile, pour 2 teaspoons olive oil into the hot skillet and cook onion, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in wine and allow to reduce, about 4 minutes. Stir in cream. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve. Garden Fresh Tomato Soup Ingredients • 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes • 1 slice onion • 4 whole cloves • 2 cups chicken broth • 2 tablespoons butter • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste Directions 1. In a stockpot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors. Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. Discard any stuff left over in the food mill. 2. In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown. Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest. Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste. Courtesy allrecipes.com
