Risotto is so good. It’s a one-pot meal, The Spicy Honey likes it and well, it seemed like just the thing for dinner tonight. At the store, the shrimp looked great, so the plan came together. Don’t you just love when that happens? Continue reading
I was thinking about making sushi, but just didn’t get myself organized enough to manage that. This is sushi, but “unrolled” or deconstructed—layers of flavor. This is fork food. Chopsticks won’t work too well here, but the flavors are deliciously sushi.
I had forgotten about this dish, which makes you wonder what goes on in my head that I could forget something this incredible. This is a rich, relatively easy and supremely delicious dish. It’s the stuff of memories. It is wonderful anytime, but by nature, it is a perfect dish to serve to the special people in your life.
This is a summery chowder, when the corn is fresh and delicious and the shrimp are running. The bacon and scallions are just the icing on the cake…so to speak.
We visited Han Restaurant again. Those Hot Pots are addictive, I tell ya’. Well, we had some of the broth leftover and you know how The Goddess loves her leftovers. We decided to “re-purpose” it a bit, so we made a fish stew.
With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus….
This is, at its heart, the shrimp bisque you’re familiar with. But I was feeling the Carnaval vibe, given the time of year, and the shrimp looked so tasty, so I decided to jazz up the regular old bisque with some Brazilian flavors. It worked. And The Spicy Honey loved it. Lent won’t be all about sacrifice, after all!
This is wonderful on a hot day. And there are still have a few hot days around. This is a riff on the shrimp salad my mother used to make. She used canned shrimp, because we didn’t get much fresh or frozen shrimp in the Northern Plains back in the day. But, we’ve come a long way baby.
