Ginger Peach Habanero Shrimp Kabobs

Posted on July 24, 2021 | Leave a comment

Ginger Peach Habanero Shrimp Kabobs by Alison's AllspiceFriends, today I am very excited to share a new product with you that I have been in love with.  Fired Up Jellies and Jams is a popular local brand that makes amazing jellies/jams with habanero peppers.  I used their peach version to make these ginger peach habanero shrimp kabobs.

The Cinnful Peach Habanero Jam is made with a vietnamese cinnamon that is quite different from the kind you might put into your favorite baked goods.  Peaches and ginger are a match made in heaven, and the spicy cinnamon compliments them both. Continue reading →

Posted on May 15, 2021 | Leave a comment

Grilled Shrimp with Creamy Cocktail Sauce (Marie Rose Sauce) by Alison's AllspiceDinner at my house tonight is going to be grilled shrimp with creamy cocktail sauce!  The creamy cocktail sauce is a condiment from the UK also known as Marie Rose sauce.

I discovered this sauce/dip once when I was serving cold cocktail shrimp and totally overlooked the idea something to dip them in.  I went searching the internet for a simple dip that I could whip up from pantry ingredients and I have been making this sauce ever since! Continue reading →

Brazilian Coconut Shrimp Stew

Posted on February 27, 2021 | 6 comments

Brazilian Coconut Shrimp Stew by Alison's AllspiceThis Brazilian coconut shrimp stew is traditionally called moqueca.  It can be made with fish or various types of seafood.  I decided to try this dish because I loved the look of the creamy coconut with the rich seafood.

In my version I only used shirmp and not multiple types of seafood.  This simplified the dish to be something that I could make with mostly pantry staples and frozen shirmp. Continue reading →

Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas

Posted on February 13, 2021 | 6 comments

Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas by Alison's AllspiceMy favorite local Tex-Mex restaurant has the most delicious seafood chimichangas that inspired me to make my own healthier version at home.  My baked imitation crab chimichangas are just as rich a creamy as well as easy on the wallet.

I tried many times to make seafood chimichangas with real shirmp and scallops.  Somehow I just could never nail the flavor.  When I tried them with imitation crab, I made a few more changes that also made them a tad healthier, and we love them! Continue reading →

Feta and Dill Crusted Trout

Posted on June 27, 2020 | Leave a comment

Feta and Dill Crusted Trout by Alison's AllspiceIn the recent months I have been cleaning out the freezer.  Therefore, I have been eating a lot of trout, and loving every bite!  I adapted this feta and dill crusted trout recipe from another favorite trout recipe, Dijon crusted trout.

Adding a crunchy topping to fish makes it feel like something else entirely.  I guess thats why fish sticks were/are so common.  If you don’t care for the texture of fish, try it topped with panko and seasonings! Continue reading →

Cherry Tomato Pasta Puttanesca by Alison's AllspiceOctober is finally here, and the garden is starting to wind down.  It’s that time of year when I have more cherry tomatoes than I know what to do with!  This year I experimented with this cherry tomato pasta puttanesca.

Puttanesca is known as the poor man meal in early Italy.  It has simple ingredients that bring in big flavors. Canned tomatoes are more traditional, but I gave this simple Italian dish a fresh spin by using garden fresh cherry tomatoes. Continue reading →

Cold Cucumber Crab Noodle Bowl

Posted on July 31, 2019 | 2 comments

Cold Cucumber Crab Noodle Bowl by Alison's AllspiceThis cold dinner idea is perfect for summer.  We enjoyed this cold cucumber crab noodle bowl after mowing the lawn.  It filled us up without heating us up, and it only required 2 1/2 minutes of cooking!

The serving size on these bowls is on the large size.  I used this meal as  post-work out dinner, so lots of carbs and protein were appreciated.  However, the recipe as written could be split into 3 servings for a lighter meal. Continue reading →
