Shrimp with Pancetta and Rosemary

My husband and I went to Venice on our honeymoon about 28 years ago. We went back several times after that. Our favorite thing to do was eat a big meal at lunch and then at night go to these little chichetti bars that dot Venice. Cicchetti are small, appetizer bites that one enjoys with a  glass of wine at various bacari (local bars). When in Venice is strongly recommend to throw away your map and simply get lost. This is how you find the magic. This Shrimp with Pancetta and Rosemary dish is one of the bar snacks you can also serve it over pasta for dinner.

Shrimp Rolls

I absolutely love lobster rolls especially when I'm in New England. These shrimp rolls come in a close second. The only thing is you can not get the split top buns anywhere on the west coast. You can make them using hot dog buns or order the split top buns on Amazon here.

Lime Dill Sauce with Shrimp

There have been countless times in my cooking career that I have made mistakes. I get so mad at myself and usually realize the glaring error after I finished the dish.

Rule #1 - ALWAYS read the entire recipe first!
Rule #2 - get you ingredients organized (mis-en-place)!
Rule #3 - Don't take it too seriously!

This recipe for Lime Dill Sauce with Shrimp is a) meant to be a salad with creamy sauce b) supposed to have chopped celery in it c) you are meant to whip the cream. I did none of those things! I was obviously very tired! This recipe morphed into something better and everyone I served it to loved it.

Curried Shrimp Croustades

I have a lot of catering “secrets” and won’t divulge many, but these Curried Shrimp Croustades I will part with.  It’s a wonderful recipe, that is incredibly easy, a huge crowd pleaser and you can make them in advance and freeze them.

Shrimp with Miso Butter

Years ago, David Chang of Momofuku created a fantastic compound butter using miso paste. It’s very versatile and can be melted on fish, chicken, or steak (lots of umami); on asparagus, broccoli, or carrots; or drizzled on a baked sweet potato (or a regular baked potato). This Miso Butter Shrimp is and marriage made in heaven. The shrimp is tossed in a buttery umami bath. I always have miso paste in the refrigerator. From seafood to vegetables, miso butter adds a depth of flavor that’s simply irresistible.

Roasted Shrimp with Indian Spices

My favorite way to cook shrimp is roasting it in the oven, which delivers amazing flavor for very little effort. This vibrant and colorful Roasted Shrimp with Indian Spices has a ton of flavor and a nice spicy kick.
