Spicy Snails in Garlic Sauce

It was a hectic week at work.There were deadlines to meet, briefs to write and presentations to be made etc. such that by the end of the week I was thoroughly exhausted and really feeling bleh
I managed to resume at the gym after 2 weeks of inconsistency and my body revolted to the lack of exercises as expected.  The signals my body usually gives for me to run back to the gym is when I cannot run up two flights of stairs without panting like I have come out of a boxing ring. After two days in the gym I was already feeling better. I have promised my self not to slack off on my exercise routines any time soon.
Food wise, I was doing lots of green smoothies  laced with almonds for most of my breakfast which was quite filling. I even noticed some improvements in my skin tone.
I was craving snails all week and so by Friday night, I decided to treat myself to some snails.  Initially I planned for grilled pepper snails but I was too exhausted to do that so I settled for Spicy Snails in Garlic sauce
Today’s offering  takes snails  out of the familiar  snail stew or peppered snails to something you may find on a fine dining menu. This dish can work as a starter or just a light meal.
Enjoy
