Easy Okonomiyaki

This is inspired by my trip to Japan. I tried both Kansai style and Hiroshima style and while I loved the Hiroshima layered style, i found it was quite messy to make at home, Combining them fixed that. This recipe makes on but is large enough to be shared as well. Okonomiyaki is "as you like it" so you can add other odd and end ingredients if you please, like other seafood, cheese or sausage.

Shrimp and Grits

I love Shrimp and Grits, but not with Tasso or Andouille. This mildly spicy version is a pescatarian's dream dish. It is more than suitable for your next dinner party. For a spicier taste, add more Cajun seasoning.

Buffalo Shrimp and Blue Cheese Grits

A marvelous twist on a southern classic. Bold & zesty with spicy seasonings, hot sauce, & creamy blue cheese.

Mushroom, Spinach, and Brown Rice Salad

The perfect substitute for a traditional salad in the summer. Consider making it the night before you want to eat it, so that it is completely cold. Served chilled.

Summer Ceviche Salad

Inspired by the fresh ( and I mean fresh!, like 20 minutes from shell to bowl) conch salad we had on a caribbean island last week, I combined ceviche and a colorful crunchy pepper trio for this very refreshing appetizer/salad. Served before grilled chicken, it was a fantastic opener for a great summer meal.

Cajun Seafood and Andouille Sausage Gumbo

This is another of the seafood stews that we love. It was introduced to us by Paul Prudhomme in his book, Louisiana Kitchen published in 1984. We have been cooking, eating and modifying it for over twenty five years. In it's present form, the recipe is easy to cook, quite colorful and utilizes the seafood that can be obtained almost anywhere. It is delicious; utilizing a roux and andouille sausage to obtain the famous Cajun flavors.

Mango Avocado Shrimp "Ceviche" + Crunchy Tostadas

The result of one of the few truly HOT days in San Francisco, I knew by 10am that I needed to come up with something chilled to eat for dinner and that preferably that something would include shrimp. This recipe is best when thrown together ahead of time and left for the flavors to become more friendly in the fridge for a few hours while you're outside enjoying some sunshine. I hope you enjoy!

Honey Walnut Shrimp and Calamari

Growing up, our family had a weekly dinner in Chinatown and this dish was always requested. When we moved out of NYC to a city without a Chinatown (gasp!) for college, we quickly learned how to prepare it on our own. This is our version with a little twist by adding some calamari. When we are feeling a little overindulged, we sometimes opt to saute the seafood instead. We like to serve it the traditional way with steamed broccoli and white rice.

Creole Mustard and Prawn Bottle Caps

This is an easy but somewhat messy dish to prepare. Be sure to use the best prawn or shrimp you can find. In preparation for assembling this I was lucky on timing and was able to source live, local spot prawns but otherwise use the best you can find. And do keep in mind that more than 75% of the shrimp sold in the USA is farm raised and flown in from Asia.
