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…

Flavorful Grilled Shrimp

Flavorful Grilled Shrimp by John Spottiswood

This is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes. You can serve this over pasta (which we did the other night), as an appetizer with a variety of dipping…

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…

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…

Crab & Avocado BLTs On Sourdough

Crab & Avocado BLTs On Sourdough by Bob Vincent

This is a different take on standard BLT sandwiches. The addition of lump crab and avocado make for a delicious sandwich. This would be great with Dungeness crab when in season fresh. I served the sandwiches with seedless red grapes and stone fruit. For a wine I chose a Viansa 2013 Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Chilled it…

Carolina Coast Shirmp Bog

Carolina Coast Shirmp Bog by John Spottiswood

A bog (unlike a pilau) is any stew that includes wet, soggy rice. This recipe was adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks, Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos by James Villas. I've left out the bacon for health reasons. It is delicious as is, but would undoubtedly be even more tasty with the bacon.

Scallops and Grits

Scallops and Grits by Carolinaheartstrings

When I moved to the South nearly 20 years ago it did not take me long to discover the Southern favorite shrimp and grits. Such a delicious rich satisfying dish. I decided that I would try my hand at making the dish my own and using my favorite seafood, scallops. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Classic Crab Cakes | Old Fashioned Crab Crab Cakes

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. Adding potato,peppers,ginger,garlic and other fillers totally ruin the delicate flavour of crab cakes. So please please please skip it.PLEASE. If you…

Grilled Dungeness Crabs with Kicked up Seasoned Butter

Grilled Dungeness Crabs with Kicked up Seasoned Butter by Kevin Greggans

Recipe of Emeril Lagasse, 2002 – modified by Kevin Greggans There is nothing like fresh Dungeness crab when the season opens in the San Francisco Bay area! I modified this recipe and kicked it up another notch! Not so much for spicy seasonings, but more of a savory etouffee flavor. When you combine this with the smoked flavor…

Baked Stuffed Clams

Baked Stuffed Clams by B Innes

These make a great appetizer, or serving a couple they make a nice dinner, and occasionally to make them truly elegant I top them with Hollandaise sauce for a decadent treat. You can get fresh clams and open them yourself and save the shells to reuse, or use large scallop shells which are easier to find, or even place in ramekins,…
