Since our 2,000th episode is next week on Oct. 26th, we're looking back at all the fun we've had over the years. Here's Rach's 40th birthday surprise from season 3! #Rachael2k Get her famous carbonara recipe: http://rach.tv/2xPWNNh | Rachael Ray Show

About 21 years ago, Rach made her very first 30-minute meal on Food Network, this sage-and-pancetta-wrapped shrimp dish. She did a test run beforehand on Emeril Lagasse's set and didn't realize the culinary team was preheating the skillet while she was nervously asking the director and producer a ton of questions. When she finally started cooking and added the oil to the pan, ten-foot flames shot right up to the ceiling. She was shocked, but carried on and the rest is history! Recipe: https://ra
