Grilled Shrimp by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a very tasty grilled shrimp recipe. The ingredients don't sound like they would go together that well, but the result is fantastic. Try this summer on the grill. My kids loved it..with 9 year old Kyle finishing off 2 whole skewers!

Tacos Al Carbon by John Spottiswood

This is a simple steak taco recipe that emphasizes the flavor of the meat and the grill. You can spice it up by adding extra cumin or a little chili powder, jalapeno, or cayenne if you like, but it is delicious as is. Make sure to chop any additional fixings you like: I used cilantro, avocado and tomato...but they are quite tasty…

Dutch West Indies Chicken Kebabs - Boka Dushi by John Spottiswood

One day I bought some boneless pork chops and tried to create my own marinade. This one is close. I do it somewhat by taste, and you can play with the quantities a…

Pomegranate-Glazed Chicken with Blackberries by Tracy Wilson

New Mexican Red Chile Chicken by John Spottiswood

This recipe is very similar to the Southwestern Green Chile chicken I posted, but uses flavorful dried New Mexico chiles instead of fresh green chiles. Personally, I liked this version slightly better, but it was close. A mix of the two is ideal. I found ground New Mexican chile at the Safeway near us in part of the spice section…
