Shrimp and Asparagus Noodle Salad
Next in our series of ‘overlapping meals‘, here is a wonderful Asian inspired main dish salad that is quick to prepare on a hot summer evening. I love this cross between a pasta dish and a salad! This was inspired by Vietnamese Noodle Salads, but it draws on similar sauce and techniques from our Pad Thai. It uses some of the same ingredients as well (use up the rest of your noodles, and more of yo…

Cajun Shrimp & Okra
I had the urge the other night to make some sort of dish with shrimp, to use up some shrimp broth in my freezer. I had a pound of shrimp, and also some frozen okra on hand, so I figured that was just screaming to go Cajun or Creole (Let the good times roll with Shrimp Creole!). So here’s my version of Cajun Shrimp and Okra. It’s pretty simple to make, the colors are beautiful, it’s healthy, and yo…
Georgia Shrimp and Grits
I grew up in South Georgia and we frequently had both shrimp and grits at the same meal, but I didn’t have shrimp on top of my grits until I was much older. I’ve played around with this recipe for a while and make it different ways, but I ran across a recipe that I liked and then modified it based on the ingredients I had on hand. This is comfort food for me and was wonderful after an otherwise trying d…
Shrimp & Bacon, over Sour Cream Grits
I present a delightful light dinner, that works equally well for fancy or family. This fabulous combination was born of a lack of time, and what happened to need to be used in my fridge. It was pronounced yummy by the 4 year old, even! And the whole thing came together in less than 30 minutes. Due to the bacon and sour cream, it’s not the healthiest dish on the planet (although I did use light sour cream…
Shrimp & Fish Fajita Tacos
Are you looking for a simple but impressive looking meal, good for a romantic date night, or dinner with friends? This recipe is basically a marriage of my fish tacos & shrimp fajitas, and could be done with either fish, shrimp, or a combination of both. It’s a very healthy meal– make extras and you’ll have a great leftover lunch for tomorrow too! Alternate serving idea: Skip the &…
Simple Ceviche
Ceviche is a recent passion of mine– Every time I’ve bought either fish or shrimp lately, I’ve bought some extra so I can make up a batch! It makes a lovely appetizer for dinner guests, or I just like to eat it for lunch… This is my go-to super easy recipe… It’s incredibly flexible to modify as well, so have fun with it! Adjust the amounts based on the amount of your fish o…
Let the good times roll with Shrimp Creole!
I absolutely love New Orleans! I spent my 40th birthday there (among numerous other times) and had a blast! Always have a blast there! One of my favorite trips to New Orleans was a fun half-day trip to the New Orleans School of Cooking. The chef was funny and entertaining, the food was great and they included beer right along with it! With Mardi Gras right around the corner, I started thinking about some creol…
A flexible “roasted” dinner… Kabobs with Roasted Veggies
Shrimp and Sausage Kabobs with Roasted Vegetables There are many foods, particularly vegetables, which are excellent roasted in the oven. So if you’re going to heat the oven up to roast a veggie or two, why not make a meal out of it? This dinner idea can be pulled together relatively quickly (to the table in less than 30 minutes, if you prep ahead of time and/or pre-roast larger items). So it’s a g…
