Last week I posted my favorite new pad Thai sauce recipe, so this week I am sharing a shrimp pad Thai recipe to go with it!
I eat vegetarian more often than I eat fish and seafood, so I also make this same recipe without the shrimp and love that version just as much. The tofu adds plenty of protein, and the noodles keep the dish quite filling. Continue reading

The end of tomato season is just about here for my garden, which means that now is the time that my tomatoes are the most abundant. We put this cherry tomato chickpea and shrimp sheet pan dinner on the rotation several times before I got it just right.
First, I tried the recipe without the shrimp for a vegetarian version and I felt like it was missing some texture. I pondered for days about what vegetable to add before I decided to try shrimp instead. Continue reading
When I get out my charcoal grill, I don’t like to go back and forth between the house and the grill. Instead, I just cook everything on the grill. In this grilled shrimp tostadas recipe, you will grill both the shrimp and the corn tortillas to make the crispy tostada shell.
I find grilling shrimp on a stick much easier than one-by-one, and kabob sticks take up much less space than a grilling basket when it comes to storage. Continue reading

My snap pea plants stopped producing about two weeks ago, which means I have been experimenting with snap pea recipes to use up my harvest. These pesto shrimp and snap pea couscous bowls are a favorite because they are quick and easy.
Couscous is an ingredient I don’t cook with a lot, but it deserves more attention because it is so easy and fast to make. All you have to do is bring water to a boil, then wait 5 minutes for the couscous to absorb. Continue reading

To me, bay scallops seam to be underrated as a seafood option. They are inexpensive but still have great seafood flavor. If you haven’t had them in a while, give them a try again in this recipe, lemon caper bay scallops with asparagus.
My only comment about bay scallops is that they release a lot of moisture when cooked, so they are difficult to get a sear on them like you can larger scallops. Continue reading

If you love to make glazed salmon, then you will love these miso glazed salmon burgers. The glaze could easily be used on salmon fillets, but sometimes I am just craving a burger. These burgers are juicy and full of umami.
Topping these burgers with lettuce and tomato just would not do for me. I chose to top my burgers with cucumber slices and alfalfa sprouts. Continue reading
For this clam linguine alla vodka recipe, I decided to mash together two classic recipes, clam linguine and pasta alla vodka. The results are delicious. The sweet seafood-y clams are elevated by the rich, acidic vodka sauce.
I prefer chopped clams to whole clams for this recipe because they are packed in flavorful clam juice that you can use to thin the sauce. I also found whole clams to be gritty in comparison, requiring a rinse that takes away some flavor. As always, use what you like. Continue reading
I don’t think there is such a thing as a perfect fish taco. It can’t be because there are just so many good ways to do it, no one recipe could ever be the best. Nevertheless, I am always in the pursuit of perfecting recipes and fish tacos are easily a food group in my house, so here is another variation for you to try: smoky trout tacos with lemon garlic aioli.
Can we talk about aioli for a minute, please? Does anyone actually use eggs to make their aioli? Maybe I’m the only one that is totally hooked on the ease of using mayo, but what can I say? It’s delicious, easy to make, and I don’t have to fuss with raw eggs. Win-win in my book. Continue reading

This easy garlic roasted salmon recipe is so simple, and yet is my favorite way to make salmon. It really lets the flavor of a quality salmon shine instead of overpowering it with seasonings and glazes.
That being said, you can mix it up by stirring in additional toppings. Try ¼ tsp red pepper flake for a spicy version. Try 1 tsp fresh minced rosemary for an herbed version. Mix in 1 tsp honey for a sweetened version. Continue reading
This salmon burger is good all on its own, but to make a great salmon burger, you need some sauce to lock in a little moisture. I went with a classic sweet-heat glaze on these strawberry habanero glazed salmon burgers!
Fire Up Jellies and Jams have numerous great products in their line, but I know I wanted to use their Strawberry Habanero Jelly to glaze these burgers. It has the best sweet heat flavor that works universally with many ingredients, such as the fishy flavor of salmon. Continue reading
