Gilroy Garlic Shrimp
over Sun Dried Tomato Linguine

Show #7 “All About Shrimp”
(Serves 4)

Gilroy, California which is just inland from the Monterey Bay is widely known as the garlic growing capital of the world. Every year they have a 3 day festival to celebrate the stinking rose which is actually a member of the lily family. The very aromatic and strongly flavored edible bulb was brought to California by early Japanese settlers who were primarily involved in the gardening and fishing industries on the West Coast.
