Lemon and Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon with Vegetables

Good news! I’ve given up long-winded blog posts for Lent. Hahahahaha! I’m kidding, of course. Lent or not, we all need a goodly number of easy and delicious seafood recipes, and I have a few words to say about that. Let’s dive right in, shall we?...

Seafood Stuffed Shells

I know that traditionally seafood and cheese combos have been considered a no-no. But, the never-pair-seafood-with-cheese rule has largely gone by the wayside, and thank goodness for that. Seafood and cheese recipes can be delicious, provided you’re using a mild...

Crab Mornay

I’ve used this Crab Mornay recipe for years. It’s one of those utterly delicious Gulf Coast favorites we’re all delighted to see at holiday parties, and thrilled to have any other time. I'm not sure where the recipe came from originally. I’ve seen it on upscale...

Make-Ahead Marinated Shrimp

When I planned this post, I tried to remember when I first made this recipe. It was one of the first keeper party recipes I found. Working backwards, my best guess is a party when the Princess OG was in nursery school. Let’s just say that’s been a minute. What I...

Arthur’s Bronzed Scallops with Lemon Butter Linguine

A few days ago I had a message from my friend, Arthur. Arthur is married to my pastry chef friend, Elizabeth. Elizabeth is an excellent cook, obviously, and she can make absolutely anything. Well, anything except shellfish. Elizabeth is big time allergic to...

Mushrooms Bienville

Several years ago it seemed I was making stuffed mushrooms every time I turned around. Nearly every party I catered had somebody asking for them. I made sausage and cream cheese stuffed mushrooms, French onion stuffed mushrooms, crab stuffed mushrooms, bacon and...

Baked Shrimp Scampi

As long as we’re cooking quick and easy summer food, you need to know about delicious Baked Shrimp Scampi. (You’ll note that this is also a quick and easy blog post.) This recipe is based on the typical North American version of Shrimp Scampi, specifically the one...

Bloody Mary Shrimp

I know y’all like detailed history lessons and such, but I’m busy this week and you’re just going to have to make do with the condensed version. Here it is: bloody marys have been around since the 1920s; they were probably invented by Fernand Petiot at Harry’s Bar in...

Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp

One of my very favorite treats is stuffed Gulf shrimp. Stuffed seafood is definitely a thing all along the Gulf Coast, and stuffed shrimp is a restaurant delicacy. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve happily ordered stuffed shrimp over the years. I know...

Roasted Cocktail Shrimp

I’m sure we all know the easy way to cook a pile of raw shrimp. First you fill a big pot with water, salt, and crab boil and throw in a cut up lemon or two. Bring that to a boil and add a whole bunch of shrimp. Put a big colander in the sink. Watch the shrimp like a...

Gulf Coast Shrimp Roast with Creole Butter

Call it Low Country Boil, Frogmore Stew, or whatever else you want, we all know it and enjoy it. And no wonder; with corn, potatoes, sausage, and shrimp it’s pretty hard to go wrong. I love the idea of tossing everything in a 20 gallon stockpot outside and ending up...

Mediterranean Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

Mediterranean Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta is based on a classic Greek dish, Shrimp Saganaki. In Greece it’s predominantly served as an appetizer, often as part of a mezze (i.e., appetizer) platter. The word “saganaki” refers to the two handled-pan typically used to...
