CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican Style

CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican Style by Amos Miller

My buddy, Ed, of Puerto Rican descent, spent his time in the Air Force in Central and South America. Ed's favorite dish: ceviche!

Ed always said that the ceviche he would eat by the gallon, if he could get it, was that he had in Costa…

Gazpacho and Shrimp Shooters

Gazpacho and Shrimp Shooters by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a fresh, healthy appetizer that has a beautiful presentation. We took these over to a dinner party last night and they were a big hit! I'd plan on two per person. If you don't already have them, Target sells attractive little shooter glasses to serve them in for pennies. This is also a great Gazpacho recipe for serving…

Pan-Seared Scallops in Lemon Myrtle Cream by Blackswan

Lemon Myrtle is a citrus-fragranced spice that blends wonderfully with seafood. The sourish Lemon Myrtle Cream gave the spinach & the juicy shellfish a delightful twist, making one wanting for more!

This is an attractive, flavorful dish, ideal as the first course for an elegant dinner. The scallions, which are cooked briefly in boiling water and served with a mustard sauce, are fantastic. I adapted this recipe from Jacques Pepin. While I loved the presentation, and everyone at our dinner party seemed to enjoy it, I wasn't…

Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Mango Sauce

Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Mango Sauce by Nancy Miyasaki

This was a real treat. It reminded me of delicious passed appetizer I had at a wedding reception a few years ago. The spicy sauce (not too hot) combines wonderfully with the slightly sweet coconut shrimp. Could be served equally well as an appetizer or entree.
