“Who You Calling Shrimp” Pizza!
I love Shrimp Scampi. It is one of my favorite pastas. I also love pizza. It’s one of my 3 top picks if “I knew I was dying” or “ I’m stranded on an isolated island and can only have 3 things I could forever eat” meals of choice. That being said, I decided to

Cubano Pizza
Have you and your significant other ever craved two different dishes for dinner??? That is pretty much how this dish came about. I LOVE a good Cuban sandwich.

Italian Salad

Filet Mignon Wrapped In Bacon
My husband is a meat and potatoes loving Texan. His favorite cut of beef used to be the ribeye, until I introduced him to the Filet mignon wrapped in bacon with the compound butter adding extra flavor and moisture that truly is not needed but here at The Pink Papaya we love to over indulge.
Cheesy Italian Rosemary Garlic Bread
Cheesy garlic bread is an amazing appetizer or added to any meal really. I love the cheese pull one gets from making this correctly. This originated back in the 15th century from Italy and can be traced back to ancient Rome! I’m sure at its most basic form. But along the way Italian immigrants kept
