	Classic Crab Cakes | Old Fashioned Crab Crab Cakes by Amrita For seriously tasty crab cakes,we need just crab and a little seasoning. 90% crab and 10% seasoning is what I'm talking about.Do not be tempted to add anything else okay.

	Monster Shrimp With Orange Chili Sauce by Robyn Savoie These are big shrimp, the ones that ate the other shrimp. When they opened the cage door after the death match, these are the shrimp that walked out of the ring. Don't turn your back on the grill while you're cooking these -- someone's liable to abscond with them.	1 vote 9788 views
	MUSSELS STEAMED IN TEQUILA WITH LIME by Cecelia Heer What screams summer more than tequila and lime? Well, how about mussels cooked in tequila and lime as an accompaniment to the drink. During my 10 pounds of mussels week, I discovered that we had a bottle of Jose Cuervo Black Oak Barrel Single Blend tequila on the bar. This was probably one of the best discoveries that I made that…	1 vote 3382 views

	MUSSELS WITH FENNEL by Cecelia Heer After all of that tequila in the summer, it's time to return to the bulky sweaters and put away the flip-flops. Actually, we don't wear flip flops and probably never will. Our fall mussels dish contains fresh fennel, which offers a liquorish taste and is perfect this time of year. Of course, the wine to drink with this is a…	1 vote 2200 views

	MUSSELS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS by Cecelia Heer This dish is made with roasted red peppers, which I like to consider the mussels for spring dish. I've adapted this recipe from the Les Halles cookbook. Roasting your own red peppers is always the way to go for this one, but if that can't be done (I don't know why), then jarred peppers are (sort of) acceptable. This goes well with…	1 vote 1092 views
