Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people. ~Elizabeth Berry

Bacon-Corn Chowder with Shrimp

This is truly a weeknight meal.  The soup came together very quickly.  I added a bit of time purchasing previously frozen shrimp on the shell and cutting my own corn kernels from some farm stand corn.  It was definitely worth it.  This soup is a good starter soup for chowders.  You can take it

Recipe: Shrimp Pad Thai

I like to make meals during the week that are both flavorful and somewhat health conscious.  This one is no different.  I buy my rice noodles at various grocery stores.  Be sure to get the wider, flat rice noodles…not the wispy rice noodles that look like angel hair pasta when cooked.  Another trick for

Recipe: Warm Pasta Salad with Shrimp

Great weeknight meal.  The dish would be just as good without one of the proteins.  The combination of the beans and shrimp are excellent…but over the top for those of you cost conscious consumers.  If you like, this dish is easily morphed into other flavor combinations.  I think some fresh oregano or fresh rosemary

Recipe: Shrimp and Pea Risotto

This recipe comes from Gourmet magazine.  I really do miss this magazine.  Though I subscribe to Food & Wine, Bon Appetit and Cooking Light, Gourmet remains my all-time favorite.  I’m currently reminiscing the old Gourmet by reading Ruth Reichl’s Garlic and Sapphires.  With such a legacy of personalities like Ruth and Sara Moulton, it

Weeknight Shrimp Meal with Great Flavor

When I think of Greek food, I think spanakopita, baklava, olives, oregano, olive oil, etc.  This dish, called Greek-Spiced Baked Shrimp by Andrea Albin, had some unknown Greek combinations.  It wound up being the most savory, flavorful, bright shrimp dish I’ve had in a long time.  It’s a tomato-based dish with strong hints of

Spicy Shrimp Noodle Bowl

Getting back into weekly meal planning.  Though I won’t say that we’ve been in a rut, we definitely have been leaning towards Italian-style foods of late.  This recipe was pretty good.  I will say that it needed a bit more.  The spice provided by the chili garlic sauce definitely did a good job giving

Curry of Shrimp and Cauliflower

Soba noodles, shrimp, lots of fresh vegetables in my crisper…What was I to eat for dinner tonight?  I decided to create a curry of sorts.  I was in the mood for an “eastern” meal and wanted to incorporate as many veggies in as possible. I’ve been doing so well over the past few weeks
