Killer Shrimp

Killer Shrimp by John Spottiswood

Nancy and I loved eating at this hole in the wall restaurant in Marina Del Ray called Killer Shrimp. It was in a strip mall and didn't have much character, but their "killer" shrimp drew a loyal crowd. I recently heard that it had closed, so I've tried to recreate it with help from a few others who have tried. I think what most the…

This is an easy recipe that you can prepare in advance and bake right before dinner. It's truly delicious, if not exactly low fat. Make sure to give it a squeeze of fresh lemon just before serving!

Spicy Shrimp Moroccan Style

Spicy Shrimp Moroccan Style by John Spottiswood

These prawns are absolutely fantastic. Every time I make them I marvel at the density and depth of the flavors. I typically leave the Cayenne pepper out of about half of them if I'm cooking for the whole family. I often serve these in combination with a Moroccan chicken, fish, or lamb dish, but they work fine on their own too.

Cilantro Shrimp

Cilantro Shrimp by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a simple and absolutely delicious stir-fry shrimp dish. I've been looking for something easy and tasty like this. I have a new staple! I used a red chile sauce that we had on hand instead of the sambal oelek, and I added it selectively after stir frying to my husbands and my plates, but not to the kids plates. It was…

Korean Nakji Bokkeum (Spicy Octopus Stir Fry)

Korean Nakji Bokkeum (Spicy Octopus Stir Fry) by jason kim

We finally got to enjoy a spicy seafood dish when we found some frozen octopus at the local Asian market. Instead of using our usual Korean store, which is handicapped with bad produce, limited ingredients, and overpricing, we have been finding more and more Korean items like this for our dishes.....full story and recipe at…

Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta

Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta by John Spottiswood

This is a great Tuscan recipe adapted from the Flavors of Tuscan cookbook by Maxine Clark. Maxine recommends making fresh chickpea pasta. We use Barilla Plus pasta, which is made with chickpeas just like Maxine recommends. By skipping making your own pasta, this becomes a very easy and healthy dish.

Cioppino

Cioppino by John Elder

This is the NY version of a San Franciscan Italian seafood stew. They focus on crabs while I focus on a nice variety of seafood. It’s quick to cook once the seafood is prepped and guaranteed to please every seafood lover. You can make the sauce white or red and once in a while I make it pink with just lobster tails, shrimp and…

Thai Shrimp Curry Over Rice Noodles

Thai Shrimp Curry Over Rice Noodles by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe in Bon Appetit in 2005. I added several ingredients that were not in the original including sugar snap peas, bean sprouts, tomatoes and spinach. The original was not served over rice noodles; rather as a soup. Chopped peanuts would add some crunch as a garnish but I didn't have any. Like many Thai…

Shrimp Creole

Shrimp Creole by John Spottiswood

This isn't all that fancy or exotic, but it's a wonderfully rich and fully flavored. If you want greater authenticity, you can substitute butter where I have used olive oil. I love butter, but try to control it for health reasons. It's delicious as I have made it, so no need to add the extra butter in my opinion.

Crawfish Etouffee

Crawfish Etouffee by Genet

Being from New Orleans, my husband and I love Crawfish Etouffee. It's one of those "classics" that everyone down here has learned how to cook by watching mom or grandma. That's me. I was hanging out in my grandmother's kitchen for as long as I can remember. Crawfish Etouffee is a great opportunity for anyone to use frozen…

Green Curry Mussel & Sausage Stew

Green Curry Mussel & Sausage Stew by Bob Vincent

This is an easy dish to prepare. It could be served over pasta as well by thickening the sauce with a cornstarch slurry a bit. I used frozen New Zealand green lip mussels. If you can find good fresh mussels by all means use them as they would be better. I used a green curry paste. My wife does not like things too hot so I opted…
