Protein in a vodka sauce?

I enjoy shrimp in vodka sauce. Once, at an Italian restaurant, I had Vodka Sauce with Lobster chunks and it was to die for!

I've never had a vodka sauce with meat. Will have to try that.

My Husband loves smoked salmon in vodka sauce at one of our local Mom & Pop restaurants.

Our favourite vodka sauce comes from Centro. A wonderful restaurant in Toronto.. Or at least it use to be. Haven't been in a while.

CHEF'S SLGGESTION: If a saltier taste is desired, add the smoked salmon
at the same time as the tomatoes

Certainly sounds like things that swim are a great option! Thanks. Ann, your Fettuccine Natasha looks fantastic! Yum. It'd really help if I'd eaten lunch today, but my stomach is growling and I have another couple of hours before I can nosh.
