Yesterday, we cleaned shrimp. Today, we cook. I’ve been asked by someone near and dear to me to talk about cooking shrimp, so I we’ll do just that. This is for The Eventual Planner, who I believe is primarily interested in how to sauté shrimp. Continue reading
“Shrimply” Delicious Sautéed Shrimp

I know this sounds a tad odd, but you’re going to have to trust me. It is delicious. First, I adore shrimp with pineapple, a citrus and some cilantro…it’s just a good combination. And there was this half can of black beans leftover from a salad, so I thought, “why not?”
Just recently it was Key West shrimp season in South Florida. These little beauties have an incredible flavor and texture. And the bonus, they come the way they were created, with the head-on, feelers included! They are just too fun, don’t you think?
That’s right…those Cubans even have their own version of a burger…the Frita. This is a burger made with pork or a combination of beef and pork, seasoned, fried, placed on a bun, drizzled with a creamy sauce and shoestring potato sticks all over the top. I’ll just let you think about that for a moment….
This is my version of “special sauce”. It’s great on burgers, steamed or roasted veggies, potatoes (yeah, I know they are veggies, too), roast beef and Reuben sandwiches, too. It’s a great dip, too.
First, let’s get something straight. The Goddess loves chicken salad. She’s never met one she didn’t like, except for that one with chocolate chips in it. It turns out that chocolate doesn’t make everything taste better!
This is a terrific lunch or first course. I serve it as is, or smeared on crackers or toasts. It’s delicious, light, and has a lovely texture; sort of silky on the tongue. If you like sushi, you’ll love this mixture.
