Salt and Pepper Shrimp Scampi
Asian style salt and pepper shrimp is tossed, scampi style, with pasta. A mashup of Italian and Asian cuisines makes for a delicious Salt and Pepper Shrimp Scampi. This Salt & Pepper Shrimp Scampi was almost a Salt & Pepper Shrimp Carbonara. I may do that later, but I realized that I have been making too much carbonara lately. As if such a thing could possibly exist, but knowing S the way I do, I’m sure some of the repeat themes are boring him. I’ve discussed how he … [Read more...]
Seafood Chili
Shrimp, scallops, and fish swim in a vegetable, green chile, and cumin based chili with cannelini beans. Seafood Chili is definitely one your guests will not expect. I love chili. All kinds of chili. Well, I should say all kinds of chili that isn't flaming hot and makes your mouth so burning hot that you can't even tasty anything. By then, what's the point? You can't taste anything... Anyway. I've made a few chili recipes myself. I've got some Game Day Chili. I've … [Read more...]
Scallop Niçoise Salad
Swap out the tuna for some pan seared scallops in this Scallop Niçoise Salad. Prepping the ingredients before hand makes this salad some together in a snap any night of the week. It also gives the ingredients time to mellow in flavor or marinate if you toss them with the dressing. S is in love with scallop salads. Since I have made sweet and tangy salads the last few weeks, I thought I'd do something different for this week's salad. I really all the heartiness … [Read more...]
Nicoise Shrimp Salad
I always see those recipes and pictures of tuna Nicoise salad. They look so yummy minus the tuna. Unless it's albacore canned or really uber fresh tuna I'm probably not going to like it. But I do like shrimp. I used to eat my weight in popcorn shrimp when I was little. LOL *waves @ Mom* Anyway, this salad is something you can prep on the weekends and then eat during the week. Everything that needs to be cooked will need to be refrigerated. So, it's a perfect prep on the weekends meal. … [Read more...]
Lemon Dill Crab Cakes
If y'all have noticed, I've been entering some challenges and competitions to try to broaden my talents and challenge myself to do something OTHER than follow a recipe. And it's also been a vane attempt at getting my little blog publicized. Anyway, one of the challenges I entered was a Paleo one; 2nd Annual Cavegirl Mystery Basket Challenge. For this one I used some crab, but you can't just buy a little crab. You have to buy a pound. *shrugs* Who am I to complain? Well, I do … [Read more...]
Paleo Crab Crepes with Parsnip Puree and Beet Reduction
Coconut flour makes these crepes paleo, but the rest of the ingredients make them delicious! Paleo Crab Crepes with Parsnip Puree and Beet Reduction make a great appetizer or light lunch. This was the last of the challenges I signed up for this month; 2nd Annual Cavegirl Mystery Basket Challenge. No, I don't eat Paleo. Why this challenge then?

Spicy New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp Recipe for Mardi Gras
I LITERALLY wanted to face plant in the pan of these Spicy New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp Recipe for Mardi Gras shrimp and eat every bit of smoky, spicy goodness. Oh...WE WILL be making these again. Often. So often, that I plan to have liquid smoke oozing out of my skin. Photo by Susie Mine didn't have as much oil and butter, of course, but all the flavors were still there none the less. I did buy bread, but we didn't sop up all the juicy goodness. Our weekly shrimp are … [Read more...]
