He is the definition of a morning person,

especially at the beach where

He gets up and goes to the grocery store before anyone else even stirs

“Did you already get stuff for dinner?” I asked when I got up around 7

“Yes,” he said

“I thought I’d make grilled blackened shrimp with basil fettucini Alfredo”

“Oh!”

😲

And just like that, we had this amazing dinner!

Variations:

Serve this shrimp on zucchini noodles, or

on a salad drizzled with warmed Alfredo instead of salad dressing
