Wasabi-Ginger Glazed Tuna Steaks (South Beach Diet Friendly, Low

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:13:12 -0400

Quick and healthy recipe for tuna. Add more wasabi and/or ginger to make it spicier. We like it a lot hotter, but this version is more universal. If you're not dieting, serve on a bed of jasmine rice. If you are, serve with some mixed vegetables topped with salt and a splash of soy sauce. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Caribbean Jerk Shrimp

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 19:38:59 -0400

This is a quick and simple recipe that is as appropriate for a tailgate party as it is to serve your boss or in-laws. Serve as a finger food with or without cocktail sauce. Or for a sit down dinner, serve over greens with an Asian style dressing, or with a stir fry of veggies prepared the same as the shrimp in a separate skillet or wok and cooked about 10 minutes on slightly lower heat. -- posted by I <3 Cookbooks

Thai Fish Curry - Kaeng Ped Pla / or Tofu

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:49:52 -0400

I have tried many thai curries over the years, and they have all been 'OK', but never quite got that authentic flavour or feel. And then other recipes have just scared me away with incredibly long lists of ingredients. I think this is a nice compromise. It is well worth marinating, it only takes a minute to throw the marinade together, then putting it all together later does not take long at all. I have made it with fish and followed the recipe to a T, with beautiful results. I have also subbed tofu and had good results. This recipe does not traditionally call for any veg to be included, it's meant to be simple. I often do add one vegetable such as red bell pepper or bok choi though, otherwise I serve with a salad. If you do add a veg, be careful not to add too much or you take away from the sauce and lose some of that soupy consistency. Keep it simple If you really wanted to add more veg I would double up on the sauce ingredients. Most of the ingredients are pretty main stream these days, my local grocery store carries it all, and certainly any Asian grocery store would. Hope you enjoy, this recipe came from a Thai food and lifestyle cookbook that was given to me as a gift. -- posted by magpie diner

The Realtor's Spicy Baked Shrimp

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:42:35 -0400

These shrimp are really zippy! They're pretty quick and easy, too. You can control the heat by reducing the chili sauce. When I make this for my little girl, I eliminate all but 1 tablespoon of the chili sauce and it's still great! She loves this dish and I'll bet you will, too!

From Bittman's, "The Best Recipes of the World". He suggests serving this with coconut rice. He also suggested coconut rice with beans, but I think that would be a complete meal in itself. You can garnish this fish dish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. Cooking time includes the one hour that is recommended for resting the fish before cooking. -- posted by Debbie R.

Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:38:07 -0400

I threw together a few random ingredients to create this stir-fry. It turned out DH thought it was the best ever and labeled it Recipezaar-worthy. The sauce is sweet and spicy with just the right amount of "kick". DH suggested the addition of sesame oil to the veggies just after they are cooked tender-crisp, which gives a little extra "something" to the dish. This recipe calls for shrimp, but one could substitute chicken or pork as well. Enjoy! -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Citrus-Marinated Shrimp With Grilled-Onion and Orange Salad

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:40:22 -0400

This recipe was created for beauty guru Bobbi Brown by F&W Magazine, published in the January, 2005 edition, Grace Parisi gets its bold flavors from ingredients like chipotles, grilled onions and citrus juice. "Bobbi Bares All" Grilled shrimp needs a tart white for contrast, one with enough fruit to balance the heat of the chiles and the sharpness of the citrus. That means Sauvignon Blanc, especially lively examples from South Africa, such as the 2003 Neil Ellis or the 2003 Kanu. -- posted by Manami

Cream of Crawfish Boil Soup

Tue, 12 May 2009 01:14:38 -0400

I just invented this tonight, after getting "stuck" with a couple of pounds of crawfish from a crawfish boil. It's so good I wanted to hop around the kitchen singing. This recipe is for crawfish boil leftovers; it won't be the same otherwise. You'll need two pounds of whole crawfish plus the corn, potatoes, etc, that were boiled with them. (My two-pound package contained two short corns on the cob, four little new potatoes, and two pounds of whole crawfish.) You can use whatever proportions you like, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. -- posted by lolsuz

Crawfish Mirliton (Chayote) Soup

Thu, 14 May 2009 15:59:21 -0400

My Cajun mother makes a wonderful mirliton casserole for the holidays that's always a hit. I had a craving for mirliton and crawfish one day, and pieced together this soup from several recipes and a few traditional Cajun cooking methods. Some people prefer to peel and pit mirliton before using them, but the whole fruit is edible. Crawfish tails are usually mostly cooked before being peeled and bagged, but it's best to be on the safe side. Sauteing them first makes sure that they are fully cooked and flavors the butter for the rest of the soup. -- posted by Jennifer Cross

Grilled Scallops With Mexican Corn Salad

Mon, 18 May 2009 14:08:36 -0400

Recipe by Nick Fauchald, From Pairing of the Day: June 2008, Beer vs Wine in F&W Magazine, June 2008 edition. In this spicy salad, plump grilled scallops sit on top of charred corn tossed with the ingredients in "elote", an irresistible Mexican corn-on-the-cob street snack. Faced with the spiciness here.:) Sam Calagione chose the refreshing Allagash White, a low-alcohol wheat beer that won't make the chile's heat taste harsh. Marnie Old zoomed in on the salad's smoky nuances and selected moderate oaky 2006 Alma Rosa Chardonnay, from California. She likes to pair oaky wines with grilled foods , she says "oak gives the same kinds of smoky flavors that grilling gives food." There is a 10 minute "standing" time to allow some flavors to marinate which I didn't include in the preparation time. -- posted by Manami

Taken from chilicheesefries.net; posted for ZWT 5. "This recipe is fantastic for any time you want to cook out with Caribbean inspired flavors such as rum, allspice, citrus, cinnamon, Scotch bonnet peppers and cilantro. While not quite jerk, the influence is definitely there. I love to serve these freakishly good tasting grilled shrimp over a bed of mashed sweet potatoes topped with fresh grilled pineapple slices that have been marinated in dark brown sugar. Serve all this up with a few pitchers of mojitos and you may think you are on vacation or at least just wished you were. Pass the rum please." -- posted by alligirl

Commander's Shrimp & Andouille Sausage With Creole Mustard

Fri, 22 May 2009 02:14:10 -0400

This is a recipe from Commander's Palace in New Orleans, from back when Emeril Lagasse was the chef there. The title should read "Commander's Shrimp & Andouille Sausage with Creole Mustard Sauce", but it wouldn't fit! It combines the elements of Creole and Cajun cooking together. Try to find Andouille Sausage because of it's unique taste, but if you can't find it another good quality spicy smoked pork sausage can be substituted. Serve this over angel hair pasta with a chilled light red wine. -- posted by breezermom

Southwestern Shrimp Salad

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:00:58 -0400

I made up this recipe one night, and really liked it so thought I would share. I made it for just myself so if you are making it for more than one person I would adjust the measurements. Speaking of the measurements, I apologize if they are off a bit. It's one of those things you have to adjust the amounts of ingredients to suit your individual taste. I just threw together without measuring anything, but the measurements I provided are my best guess for the best taste. Also, I believe this would be good as a coleslaw type dish if you just omit the baby romaine and spinach and add a little more dressing. -- posted by WBChica

Shrimp Bites Wrapped in Greens

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:07:02 -0400

Isabel Cruz's Spicy "Shoestring" Party Menu for a Sultry Late-Summer Night - CBS Morning Show, 09/01/2007. The San Diego-based chef likes to marry the tastes of Latin American cooking she grew up with to the Pacific Rim tastes she's come to know as a Californian. But most of all, Cruz likes to keep her cooking clean, fresh, flavorful and healthy - she likes to go for flavors that pop and offer contrast to one another. She has 5 restaurants on the West Coast, from Portland, Ore. down to San Diego, Ca:). She has also published a cookbook "Isabel's Cantina."Growing-up, Isabel's friends were Puerto Rican, Cuban, Peruvian, and she also spent time with her Asian friends learning Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine. Thus, was born her fusion of different flavors. "This is a Thai appetizer of shrimp wrapped with coconut, peanuts, and chiles in a leaf. She likes to use raw collard greens as wrappers for these spicy little snacks, which she drizzles with a little guava sauce to complete the hot-sweet Thai flavors while also bringing these bites further into the Latin realm. Prepare these ingredients in advance, and then assemble these at the last minute." She was given a $60 budget to create a dinner menu for 6 people - thus: Chef on a Shoesting. -- posted by Manami

Spicy Tuna Salad Sushi Roll

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:37:32 -0400

This recipe tastes very similar to the spicy tuna rolls found in Japanese restaurants, but the best part is that you use canned tuna rather than raw tuna. Don't get me wrong, I love raw tuna; I just don't feel comfortable playing with it at home. I created this recipe when I wanted sushi rolls but didn't have a lot of fresh ingredients on hand. This can also be adapted to use in an asian salad. I plan on putting up that recipe at a later time.

Mexican Seafood Cocktail (Campechana)

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:07:43 -0400

This is a favorite at Goode Company Seafood in Houston. It goes perfectly with fried tortilla chips and an ice cold Corona! Here, at the Home, they installed a new computer program and corporate was explaining it - well, we had made it for us in the kitchen, as a trial run and had some left over! It flew out the window - fortunately we had some left over - delicously seafood flavor with lots of spice.;) -- posted by Manami

Potato Flaked Prawns on Bed of Asparagus

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:24:41 -0400

What can I say about this dish? We made it and with a few changes we had a lovely Sunday luncheon! We made this to see how many residents would take the apsparagus and leave it on their plates untouched and those who at least tried them. It is so difficult to make changes to the menu if the residents aren't going to eat them. -- posted by Manami

Scallop and Mango Ceviche With Thai-Lime Dipping Sauce

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:11:05 -0400

This dipping sauce, fresh with herbs and tangy with lime, is Blue Ginger's, Ming Tsai's restaurant, most requested recipe. It's based on the traditional Thai dip called cha-gio, which gets its flavor from fish sauce. That salty ingredient is nicely balanced with lime juice. The herbs darken as the sauce ages; this isn't a taste problem (quite the opposite, as the flavor deepends over time) but the sauce will lose it looks. If this bothers you make and store the sauce "base" only, then chop & add the herbs an hour before serving it.Ceviche is food "cooked" without heat. As with all ceviches, freshness is key. Make sure your scallops are pristine enough to eat raw. This technique uses citric acid or vinegar to firm and therefore"cooked". Here, mango adds its exotic sweetness to scallops, which cook in the flavorful dipping sauce. Ming Tsai - ming.com - Episode 105, Tags: sauce, appetizer, scallops or mangoes. ;) -- posted by Manami

Tuna & Cherry Pepper Sandwiches

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:43:18 -0400

Found this recipe in Cowgirl Cuisine by Paula Disbrowe. In the book she says "her life sounds like a fantasy." After working as food editor at a magazine in NYC - Paula Disbrowe moved to Rio Frio, Texas, to be the chef at Hart & Hind Fitness Ranch. Not long after in 2005, she and her husband bought a 100 acre working ranch in Texas's Nueces Canyon. She shares recipes that exemplify ranch eating but with a lighter approach, like her chili made with turkey, white beans and sage, and tostadas topped with shredded chicken and crunchy citru slaw. This recipe is considered the best of the best exclusive! Have tweaked it slightly because of personal preference! :) -- posted by Manami

Tuna Tacos

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:59:32 -0400

I found this recipe on Epicurious. I made some changes, so this is the modified version. I really liked how these turned out, great for anyone who doesn't like the taste of fish but has to eat it anyway! For the cream cheese dip, I used Philadelphia Onion Flavour dips, but I suppose any flavour or even plain cream cheese would work. The original recipe called for cilantro, but I replaced it with parsley since I find cilantro has a bit too strong a flavour for my family. -- posted by CoCaShe

Individual Nacho Pouches

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:18:37 -0400

Do you hate eating nachos and getting to the bottom and there is no cheese or no sauce left. Or how about hating that someone smeared sour cream all over all the chips because they like it - but you don't. How about olives that you like but your friends don't and pushed them all off to the side. Well this is a great way to make nachos for a party so everyone is happy. Individual pouches or small packets of nachos for each person. You get your own chips, lots of cheese, a creamy sauce and served with the traditional toppings. Now for me ... traditional toppings include shredded lettuce, black olives, jalapenos, salsa or tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole. Now since this is a NO MESS easy clean up meal. I line a pie plate with parchment paper and put all the toppings right in that. That way at the end of the meal ... toss the parchment paper out and NO clean up. And with all those toppings they can make the nachos exactly to their liking.. Each parchment packet has chips, cheese and either the seafood topping or the traditional beef and bean topping, all hot and ready to garnish. And the best part ... individual packets so once again, no clean up or mess. This is just a great party food. So whether you decide on the seafood or the beef, you will have 8 great packets of nachos to enjoy during my favorite ... Sunday football !! -- posted by SarasotaCook

Sarasota's Sweet and Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:26:41 -0500

This is so quick and easy, and makes a great family style dinner. For a dipping sauce, I don't think one is needed, but a few of my friends like it when I serve it with a garlic orange butter sauce. I simply melt some butter (1/2 cup), minced garlic (1 teaspoon), and some fresh orange juice (1 tablespoon). For my sides - a fresh creamy coleslaw and some chili fries. A few potatoes cut in wedges and mixed with some oil and seasoning makes for great healthy fries compared to fried or even store bought ones. -- posted by SarasotaCook

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

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
