I don’t know what “ASMR” means. I do know that this youtube presenter does not speak English, so I read the sub-titles (I think she may be German??)
I kind of let youtube’s algorithm make suggestions and see if the recipe looks good.
I’ve become quite bored with “over the air” TV shows and stream videos to my TV. I have learned some new recipes, etc.
I can 100% believe this. I’ve been watching Grey’s Anatomy the whole time, and when they killed McDreamy, I was in a funk for weeks. It felt like someone in my life was gone.

ASMR - Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response
It has become fashionable to tag a lot of You Tube content as ASMR if the content creator is trying to cater to those who are into how things sound (a lot of teppanyaki cooking videos out there with this tag) when action is in progress. Not everyone who watches these videos actually experiences ASMR, but the short-hand has stuck.

I used this one this time, but added a bit of seasoned ground beef, and subbed some of the eggs with egg whites I had in the freezer.
There are a lot of inspiring videos out there, but I don’t always have time for that, so i put this one in pepperplate.

Thank you for educating me about “ASMR”…
I don’t really think I was affected that way (by the video) based on the definition.
I did find it interesting enough to try the recipe, though.
There is also a woman from Turkey that I watch (on youtube) “enfes yemekler tarifleri” Again, I have to read the sub-titles, but have had good luck with some of her recipes, as well.

Thanks! Saving.
Last night - unwrapped the shrimp I ordered and it was a) not what I ordered and b) not very fresh smelling. I pivoted and made pan-seared salmon with a tarragon-mustard rub. Sides were wild rice with peas and Meyer lemon olive oil and sauteed green beans with honey mustard. A little leftover remoulade on top of the fish.

Tonight I made a recipe courtesy of @BeefeaterRocks: tequila-lime shrimp scampi. I subbed ramp butter for most of the garlic butter and saved the cilantro for garnish (not wild about it cooked). I also marinated the shrimp in a splash of tequila, pinch each of cornstarch and baking soda, and some salt and pepper before sauteing and deglazing with more tequila and mounting with butter. So, no, I didn’t follow the recipe much at all. Served over converted rice cooked in homemade broth with sauteed spinach and garden tomatoes on the side. I would definitely make the shrimp again.

My usual thought process when reading a recipe is, “hmm…no.”

Made Spaghetti Alla Nerano with some adjustments. I roasted the zucchini in a 450F oven after tossing with some olive oil. Having no fresh basil at hand, they were dusted with kosher salt and dried basil when they came out of the oven. I used a 50/50 mix of Parmesan and Pecorino for the cheese. Garnished with parsley at the end. But still came out really well, even if the pasta water and cheese fought the emulsion at every possible step. If you have a lot of late season zucchini, this is a good recipe to have in your pocket (maybe peel and seed them depending on how mature they are at this point).
