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

Every spring I go crazy over asparagus. This might be my last asparagus post this season. Maybe. Anyway, this lemon asparagus orzo with shrimp is a great recipe to end on, because it’s seriously delicious!
All the flavors of this dish pair perfectly. The asparagus is earthy, the lemon is bright, and the shrimp is sweet. Salt and spice are the only flavor profiles missing, and very easy to mix in with a little salt and pepper! Continue reading

You know, I have really been on a cilantro kick recently! I didn’t always like cilantro, however. I found it to be an incredibly over-powering flavor and never used it in my dishes. It’s funny how tastes change, though. I tried cilantro on this jalapeno tomato and cilantro pizza and couldn’t get enough. I started trying it on other things, like cilantro lime black bean salad, and this weeks sweet potato salad. Needless to say, I’m hooked! This recipe, quick cilantro garlic seared shrimp is a weeknight favorite because shrimp cook in a flash! Continue reading

Have you guys tried chinese 5-spice powder yet? It’s been a popular up-and-coming spice for a while now, and I’m just now getting on board.

It has a wonderfully warming characteristic that pairs perfectly with other Asian flavors, such as ginger, and is not spicy. My five spice shrimp tacos with rhubarb ginger sauce are an amazing twist between Asian and Mexican cuisines! Continue reading
