It’s Friday night. I have sweats on and a How to Get Away with Murder happening right now. With Butters by my side, of course.

Postmates is on its way, but I really should have just made this instead.

I promise – it’s not as hard as it looks. It’s the exact opposite really.

Just look at that pool of butter and that crusty bread. If that’s not a seller, then I don’t know what is.

Screw it. I’m canceling Postmates. It’s a shrimp scampi night for sure.
