Shrimp Louie on the Patio

Tuesday night I made Lauren and I Shrimp Louie Salads for dinner. It's a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

We ate out on the patio and I set the table with a seaside theme. I found these pretty napkins at Marshalls a couple weeks ago. I spread two of them out to use as placemats.

I also used my glass fish plates I bought at a thrift store awhile ago. Oops...I didn't even notice I had the plate upside down until I uploaded the photos! It was a week night and I was rushing to get the dinner on the table and photograph it before Lauren came home hungry and ready to eat.

For my "Louie" dressing I just use a jar of good Thousand Island dressing and I add a little horseradish and a couple shakes of Tabasco Sauce to spice it up a bit.

A glass of wine for me and water for Lauren. It sort of feels like a mini vacation when you dress up the table during the week! Trust me...I don't go to this much trouble every night of the week! I cook dinner almost every night but I don't decorate the table like this. I don't want to give the wrong impression here! haha.
