There are only two ways I would ever eat shrimp and marinated spicy shrimp scampi is one of them.Tickle your taste buds with this spicy shrimp and pasta dish that will leave you full and satisfied.
For something so relatively simple, there's a seemingly long ingredient list and some prep work. Get everything in place and it all comes together easily. I've always found that shrimp and salmon are a fantastic pair. Add cream and saffron to a shrimp broth and it's heavenly. And fennel. I love fennel. It adds such a great background taste of anise. Some shortcuts: instead of making a spice rub, use whatever commercial rub suits your fancy. Instead of making a shrimp broth and cream sauce, buy some ready made shrimp or lobster bisque. Don't leave out the sherry. And finally, please don't overcook the shrimp and salmon. The shrimp will continue to cook even after such a short hit on the heat. And I like to treat salmon almost like tuna, a bit rare in the middle.
This recipe for Bourbon Glazed Cajun Shrimp with Bacon and Cheddar Grits is Inspired by my love and memories of New Orleans culture and cuisine. I make no claims that this recipe is traditional to the south or to Louisiana by any means, but it is certainly inspired by the flavors and techniques of Cajun and Creole cooking. The grits are creamy and dripping with cheese, and the salty bacon and bright scallion greens combine beautifully with the shrimp and spices for a balanced dish. This recipe was inspired by techniques used on the Joy the Baker blog.
Low carb, big flavor, gluten-free eating! W/Andouille chicken sausage, rock shrimp, & Cajun spices. (If you're making this on game day you can chop the veggies the day before to save some time!)
My hubby asked if I'd fix Stuffed Peppers one night, and I agreed. I started looking for just the right peppers to use: big, bright, crispy and very firm & fresh. I came upon these huge golden-orange peppers at a local flea market and they inspired me to do something different with this well-loved dish. I find stuffed green peppers a bit strongly flavored and wanted to go for a different taste, so I chose a Cajun style version that I'd been thinking of for a while, and it turned out absolutely perfect! The second photo shows the plate with the complete meal--the braised butternut squash recipe and the potato recipe are also included in my Recipes section! Please do comment and let me know how they turned out for you!
An Italian twist on a Southern classic. Creamy polenta is a perfect canvas for so many saucy dishes. For this dish, it meets briny shrimp and sweet caramelized fennel. It's ready in less than 30 minutes so can be made during the week.
The summer after I graduated from college I applied for numerous jobs in the NYC area. When I was finally contacted about a research position, I was thrilled. I took the bus down; I lived in upstate NY. The interview was in the afternoon so I spent the morning walking around the neighborhood. That was how I stumbled upon an amazing little Italian restaurant where I ordered this salad. I was only 20 so to me it was the height of decadence. The salad itself was perfect; fresh and zesty.
This is a healthy and delicious way to cook shrimp. You can steam them on the stovetop, but the microwave is a fast and easy option for cooks on the go.
Get out your bibs, cover the picnic or kitchen table with brown paper or newspaper, make sure you have damp kitchen towels or wet naps around and get ready to feast! These are easy to make and fun to eat...and dipped in melted butter, to die for!
I had some interesting ingredients on hand, such as Spanish the caramelized walnuts and Moroccan preserved lemons (which I just made) that I thought would be fun to try in a Paella dish
This is a simple chicken and shrimp shumai recipe. I have been making these in the past quite easily. They are not all that complicated. I found that Japanese grinder I have made the ginger and the garlic a great texture for mixing into the shumai mixture.
This is by far our favorite macaroni salad...it's fattening, decadent and old school, but oh so good! Mom would serve this at every summer get together and we all gobbled it up. Over the years I've made a couple of changes but it still rings true to the original.
The first time my Malaysian friend made me laksa, I absolutely fell in love with it. So as soon as I had the chance, I decided to make it at home, with a few extra ingredients to spruce it up. The ingredient list may look long, but the process is super simple and uber delicious.
