Shrimp with Pancetta and Rosemary
My husband and I went to Venice on our honeymoon about 28 years ago. We went back several times after that. Our favorite thing to do was eat a big meal at lunch and then at night go to these little chichetti bars that dot Venice. Cicchetti are small, appetizer bites that one enjoys with a glass of wine at various bacari (local bars). When in Venice is strongly recommend to throw away your map and simply get lost. This is how you find the magic. This Shrimp with Pancetta and Rosemary dish is one of the bar snacks you can also serve it over pasta for dinner.
