Peel-N-Eat Shrimp #FishFridayFoodies


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.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
