Some dishes have a great story.
This recipe is a derivative of something my daughter once found – and the best part is that she prepared it with her boyfriend.
Maybe that’s what makes the dish so special: cooking together with someone you love, you can just taste it.
The scampi, blue mold cheese and fresh cherry tomatoes combine to create a balanced and sophisticated dish, simple but with character.
