Pasta with Shrimp & Green Beans in Red Pepper Oil
Pasta with Shrimp & Green Beans in Red Pepper Oil - I love making a nice Sunday lunch. I happened to have some Key West pink shrimp, which is wild caught in the gulf. Unlike imported shrimp, wild-caught U.S. shrimp is unlikely to contain the drugs and chemicals that are used heavily on many international shrimp farms. Pink shrimp is found in the Gulf and South Atlantic. Those found off southwest Florida are often known as “Tortugas” or “Key West” pinks. These shrimp are known for their pink color and sweet taste. They are pink when raw, so they look like they are already cooked. Years ago, I was hired by a shrimp company for three days to make shrimp scampi demo samples at a Whole Foods convention. I have to say it was really fun!

Shrimp Puffs
Shrimp Puffs are a super easy appetizer to make and are really delicious! Yes, it's another hors d'oeuvres for all that entertaining you're going to do! This one is very easy and delicious. If you can't find tiny bay shrimp, use regular size shrimp and cut them up. Warning - these are addictive! NB - I made the filling the day before the event.

Shrimp Wonton Cups
These Shrimp Wonton Cups are a hit at any party. I have to say, hors d'oeuvres are my favorite thing to eat. We often go to restaurants and sit at the bar and order appetizers instead of a full meal. Here's one I recently tested. The next time I would use round wonton wrappers.

Rosemary Chipotle Shrimp
I love the smokey heat of this Rosemary Chipotle Shrimp. A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. I love the smokey heat. I did not skewer these shrimp with rosemary sprigs, but it's a great idea. This marinade can be used on chicken or any white fish; just add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings after the chicken or fish has been cooked and removed. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.
