RECIPES
Soy Sauce-Braised Shell-On Shrimp and Scallions
These soy sauce-braised shrimp bring me back to those happy days in Shanghai when I finally could enjoy more than a few crustaceans at a time.
Shrimp Arancini (Fried Rice Balls) with Lemon
Packed with big cheese and livened with lemon, these balls emerge hot from their swim in an olive oil ocean to please and delight you.
Shrimp Risotto with Homemade Stock and Cherry Tomatoes
Neither soup nor merely starch, risotto dwells at an interstice of textural delight. Supple and smooth with a slight bite, this dish binds shrimp and stock with pearls of creamy white. From roots in France and the Italian coast, ocean flavors and orange feelings combine for a vibrant experience that will abide.
Cajun-inspired Shrimp Fried Rice
On Our American Cuisine, you never know what you are going to get. The term “cajun” reminds me of my high school orchestra trip to New Orleans. Big brass, beignets, and a night of zydeco (plus dancing!) come to mind, along with alligator sausage, a very cold hot-tub-sized pool, and dinner with Bubba Gump.
Shrimp Daikon Soup
The foundation of any soup is water, to which all manner of meats, fruits, and veggies can lend their flavors. A roux, rice, or quick blend could thicken it or fill in a stew, but I’d rather not turn a hefty hog into goo and mush little shrimp, too. So, let’s keep things clear (literally) and add just what we need on top (AKA garnishes).
Grilled Coconut Shrimp Skewers with Cilantro and Ample Lime
Let the sun shine in as you skewer your shrimp. Rounded with coconut oil, bursting with ample lime and little more, nothing else can make your summer soirée such a success. Within minutes, you’ll be finished, and the grill will be ready for another go.
