Shrimp, Avocado & Orange Salad

This recipe was inspired by a trip to Spain (where I basically ate my face off :)). I serve it when I have girlfriends over for lunch. It's light, delicious, healthy and absolutely beautiful to look at. I have also omitted the shrimp and served this as a side to grilled chicken.

Shrimp-Winter Fruit Salad with Pomegranate Seeds and Blue Cheese

I wanted something light, but filling, as well as holiday-colorful and festive. The Granny Smith green and the pomegranate red do the trick. Buying already cooked shrimp makes the dish very accessible. Good potluck fare; recipe easily doubles or triples.

Spaghetti with Cilantro-Pistachio Pesto and Shrimp

After a series of events led to an excess amount of Cilantro in my kitchen, I set out to make pesto entirely made up of things already on hand. Though I love shrimp in this dish, any meat or no meat at all would be just as delicious. Easily adapted to serve just 1, or many, and any leftover cilantro pesto can be used again later.

Winter citrus shrimp + French Lentils

This is my interpretation of something I had at Cabezon which is a great restaurant in Portland, OR.

Shrimp a la Veracruzana

A simple, delicious dish from my Cuban grandfather. I serve it over brown rice.

Paella for Four; A Wonderful Spanish Mixed Seafood Stew

We have never cooked Paella before and only seldom eaten it. So we had a number of misconceptions about the dish. But we decided that our Seafood Stew series wouldn't be complete without it; so into Google we dove to determine the true essence of paella. Well as it turns out, paella originated in Valencia, Spain and is considered by many to be Spain's national dish.

Tomato and Shrimp Risotto with Ouzo and Feta

Ouzo may seem an unusual choice for a risotto recipe, but I promise it makes the tomato, olive, shrimp, and feta flavors stand up and shout!

Zucchini Romeritos-Style with Mexican Mole

Romeritos in Mexico is a meal that reminds a Christmas diner in a second, because it is prepared mainly during this festivity. The plant (Romeritos) is better known in north America as Torrey Sea-Blite, however prepare it during other time in the year besides Christmas is practically impossible, that is why I guessed the best way to cheat the flavor, consistency and appearance was using zucchini instead.
