Peel-N-Eat Shrimp #FishFridayFoodies

By

It's time for Fish Friday Foodies' August 2021 event. We are a group of seafood-loving bloggers, rallied by Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm, to share fish and seafood recipes on the third Friday of the month. 

This month, we are looking at seafood appetizers with Swathi of Zesty South Indian Kitchen leading the discussion. "Share your Favorite Seafood Appetizer," she wrote. Here's the line-up for the event...


One of our favorite appetizers is peel-n-eat shrimp. Here's what Seafood Watch has to say about shrimp and making good choices for the sustainability of the food and the oceans: click here. I decided that I wanted to do a quick pan-fry version. It was tasty!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound shrimp
  • 2 Tablespoons butter (or butter alternative) + more for melting and serving
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • lemon wedges for serving

Procedure
Melt butter in a large, flat-bottom pan. Lay the shrimp flat on the bottom so that they are in a single layer. Do this in batches if your pan isn't big enough. Cook till you begin to see them turn opaque on the bottom. Flip over and cook till completely opaque.

To serve, toss with freshly squeezed lemon juice, Old Bay, and parsley. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side...and lots of napkins!


That's a wrap for our #FishFridayFoodies seafood appetizers event. We'll be back next month with oven-baked recipes. Stay tuned.

    Shrimps with skin I love them, since the shrimps taste delicious when cooked with skin on!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
