Felix's Seafood Gumbo

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:56:58 -0500

You can use whatever you want, or throw in a pint of oysters, add a pound of firm white fish fillets, or use chicken instead of andouille...or leave out any other meat than seafood. Gumbo is as forgiving as any other stew, as long as you start out with a decent roux. The trick to roux is low and slow...if the heat is too high, you'll scorch it and then it's good for nothing but the trash. You can also add as much or as little of your favourite hot pepper sauce (I usually toss in some Tabasco toward the end) depending on how hot you want it. If you're serving folks who like thicker gumbo, pass the file powder at the table for them to mix into their individual bowls. -- posted by Felix4067

The Realtor's Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:01:13 -0500

This will blow you away. The first time you serve this, you'll be ok because they don't know how great it's going to be. The second time you serve this, you better put it on the table and get out of the way FAST cause they are going to knock you down trying to get to it. It's a recipe that I have developed through years of making it over and over and over. This is the best version I have been able to create. NOTE: This recipe is to be used with 1/2 pound of spaghetti. If you are using 1lb of spaghetti, double the recipe because there won't be enough sauce for a full pound. If you are doubling it, don't double the lemon juice or it'll be too tart, just bump it up to 3 Tbsp. and only bump the lemon pepper up to 3/4 tsp or it will be too salty for some people. MANGIA! -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:10:57 -0500

http://www.easydinnerrecipes.ca/grilled-halibut.html In this dish, halibut is paired with sweet corn that offsets the natural saltiness of the sea fish. A simple dish that allows the natural flavors of its ingredients to seep through. -- posted by tastetester #2

Barbecued Shrimp BLT Sandwich With Lemon Butter Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:39:37 -0500

This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe and it is delicious! I found it again when I was surfing the net - as always, looking for something else, and voila I found it! I had eaten this a long time ago when a friend prepared it for us, my friend left for somewhere in Cuba -- never to be heard of again, more than likely she is very busy trying to build a house for her folks wheeling and dealing, so as to get what she needs -- she doesn't have time to write and then find someone that she trusts to deliver the letter to me! Anyway -- the recipe is truly wonderful! :) Wine pairing: If you're feeling adventurous try a full and oakey Chardonnay from Australia like Rosemount, Petaluma or Lindemans. This dish goes great with a number of the micro brews, such as Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or the most popular Samuel Adams. -- posted by Manami

Easy Peasy Red Thai Salmon Curry

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:00:05 -0500

Knocked this up for a dinner party last night, as a mild dish. Tasty and quick! This will vary tremendously depending on the curry paste you are using. Taste it first. If it's super-hot, you'll need to reduce the amount unless you want a hot curry. If this is the case, you may need to add in come more flavouring. I've tried successfully with a tin of red thai curry soup if you're going for the easy approach, otherwise add grated ginger, cumin, coriander and a splash of fish sauce and rice wine vinegar. Of course, there's plenty of more complicated recipes out there, and this one's supposed to be easy, so try to go for a curry paste that's tasty but mild. You can always add more chilies to boost the heat! -- posted by Snowbunny Andorra

I wanted to whip up some pasta for dinner tonight and this is what I came up with! I kept it low calorie and low fat but feel free to add some white wine or saute the veggies in butter or oil.

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:03:22 -0500

This is great to serve anytime! Makes a great lunch and a fine dinner if you toss a little wine and a loaf of crusty bread in the deal! You can use whatever vinegar you like, and can add, after tasting, more. Nakano makes several seasoned vinegars that are scrumptious! Smoked paprika is one of the best seasonings I've ever used; you can't believe how fragrant it is nd the taste is amazing. However, having said that, it is very pricey. I cannot advise you excpept to tell you that without it, the recipe won't taste the same. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs and Chives on Pancakes

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:20:13 -0500

An indulgent and luxurious champagne breakfast or brunch dish that even those who don't like the texture of smoked salmon will love because it is cooked in with the eggs. I think the scotch pancakes (regular pancakes in the USA) are essential as the slight sweetness offsets the saltiness of the salmon perfectly. -- posted by robd16

Jamaican Chilli Coconut Fish and Prawn (Shrimp) Stew

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:35:21 -0500

When you're in the mood for something loving with a tropical feel, this does the trick every time! Try to use Jamaican chilli sauce that's made with scotch bonnet or habaneiro peppers. The result is a mild creamy stew with the subtle heat of the chilli just about coming through. You could use a different type of chilli sauce but it wont have the same flavour or special heat that the scotch bonnet provides A delightful alternative soothing way to serve plain white fish. Just wonderful! -- posted by robd16

Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Gravy over Biscuits

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:11:30 -0500

A few years back I was visiting friends in LA, and after a long day of fishing, a wonderful dinner with fresh fish of course, the next day we all woke up famished. Well ... biscuits with sausage gravy was the request, but I wanted to do something a little cajun. Our last vacation day, so it was clean out the fridge, but still trying to make something that resembled biscuits with sausage gravy. After a quick run to a local quick stop to get some cream and biscuits we were set. Well this is the creation, and it is really good. The only thing I have changed since I returned is that I love to add some scallions right at the end for a fresh flavor, but otherwise, pretty much the same. Make this for a breakfast/brunch for family this holiday season. And if you don't want to use andouille, use a spicy or mild sausage along with the cajun spices. And if you bake, make your own biscuits. I'm just not much of a baker, so I take a short cut and use a canned biscuit. We served this with some scrambled eggs and Bloody Mary's (it was the last day of vacation). But skip the eggs, and you won't miss them - this is a very satisfying dish. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Turkey Tonnato (Italian Cold Turkey in Tuna Caper Sauce)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:48:48 -0500

This traditional Italian dish is originally made with veal. Turkey is the next best thing and this actually tastes and looks quite fancy. You can make everything ahead of time but ONLY assemble at the last minute. Its just great to serve at buffets, you'd never imagine a can of tuna could be transformed to such heights! Serve with lots of salad and tomatoes and some cold new potatoes. The fresh herbs in the broth are essential as are the capers and the anchovies in the sauce (which you wont really taste) Great stuff! -- posted by robd16

This is my husband's recipe. It is so simple and so delicious that I had to share it with you! I have added some optional instructions at the end. I have not tried the optional ingredients myself, but they sound like they would be very good. Try it and please let me know. I would appreciate the feedback. I have made this as a sandwich on buttered wheat bread with american cheese, alf alpha sprouts and sunflower seeds. Delicious!!! Enjoy!! -- posted by Stephanie Rybak

Based on a recipe from Guy Fieris book, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: an All-American Road TripWith Recipes! This celebrates the A1 Diner in Gardiner, Maine. He says in its introduction: These are loaded with crab, and even in a state that is famous for this dish, people come to Gardiner to track them down. I havent tried this yet, although I am planning a trip up the road to Gardiner soon! :) -- posted by mersaydees

Tuna Cake With Pimento

This tuna cake recipe was just a last resort dinner. I was amazed at how simple it was and how cost friendly it was. Full of flavor and great consitancy. It can be made lower in fat simply by browning them instead of frying them. -- posted by NickleBoodle19
