Recipe - Scampi Shrimp - A Family Favorite

Seafood was always plentiful where I grew up on the west coast of Florida. Shrimp was a dinner time staple in our house. This Scampi Shrimp recipe was formulated from a combination of tastes and ingredients from my all time favorite restaurant recipes in my hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Scampi Shrimp

1 pound (peeled and deveined) jumbo fresh shrimp
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon steak sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Cooked fettuccine

Peel and devein shrimp. Cook onion and garlic in butter in a large skillet (medium heat), stirring constantly, 4 minutes. Add lemon juice and next 3 ingredients. Bring to a boil; add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve over fettuccine. Yield: 3 to 4 servings

When I moved away from the coast of Florida where fresh seafood is plentiful, I also moved away from the seafood specialty restaurants that I'd always loved to dine at during my formative years. I began experimenting in my own kitchen, where I perfected this Scampi Shrimp recipe. My goal was to create a scampi recipe with just the right combination of herbs, worcestershire sauce and butter to achieve great taste and perfect aroma. I like to serve it over fettuccine, however it can be served over rice or any other type of pasta. It should be doubled or even tripled for a large group and works well with a salad or vegetable of choice on the side.

Fat Loss Recipe - Delicious Fat Loss Quesadilla Perfect For Any Diet

Quesadillas and wraps are an easy, fast and inexpensive way to get high quality nutrients into your fat loss diet. However, it is also easy to go overboard when it comes to the calorie content that can be loaded into these quick and simple meals. From your choice of wrap to how you actually cook it can make the difference between bloating yourself up with unnecessary carbohydrates and fat, or feeding your body in way that leaves you full of energy & satisfied, while keeping you in a favorable calorie range.

Here is how to make your own Fat Loss Quesadilla:

1) Start with a wrap that is made from whole grain - not just 'with' whole grain. In the future I will profile various brands and flavors - addressing the types of grains, fiber, etc. - One brand I like is the Wrap-itz from 'Tam-X-icos!' - but there are many others.

Pull out 2 tortillas.

2) Scramble an extra large egg using non-stick spray, such as Pam Organic Olive Oil Spray.

3) Keep in mind, this is a 2 serving quesadilla, so you can share it with someone or save the 2nd serving for tomorrow's lunch. Using a pan that will allow the tortilla to lay flat in, warm the pan on very low heat.

4) Add a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the pan and a tablespoon of butter (or Olivio). Then place one tortilla in the pan. Add 2 rounded tablespoons of cheddar cheese and spread evenly on tortilla.

5) Add the following:

- quarter cup of canned green beans.

- 2 rounded tablespoons of canned corn.

- 2 rounded tablespoons of canned sweet peas.

- Spread the scrambled egg over veggies.

- Add sea salt, black pepper, onion powder & garlic powder to taste.

- Sprinkle with another tablespoon of cheddar cheese.

6) Place the 2nd tortilla on top & gently press with spatula so cheese sticks to it. Check bottom with spatula to see if it is starting to brown. Lift up top tortilla - if cheese is sticking - its time to turn it over. Using your spatula, scoop under & lift out of pan pace your other hand on top, flip over & place in pan.

Cook for about 4 - 5 minutes - the bottom should look like the top - a dark/golden brown.

Cut in half & eat. Remember, this is 2 servings. And here is the nutrient breakdown for one serving:

Calories: 350

Fat: 22 grams

Protein: 13 grams

Carbohydrates: 25 grams

Sodium: 380 mg

Fiber: 6 grams

For 350 calories you get a nutrient dense, well-balanced, great-tasting, appetite-satisfying fat loss meal that can fit into almost anyone's fat loss diet program. You can also create your own variations of this to match it perfectly to your fat loss goals.

A Glorious Pasta Recipe

Crab meat is what comes to my mind when I think of a dish which is luxurious in all terms. You may end up spending a fortune (close to $40 a pound) gulping down a few crab cakes. And once done, you will be left wanting for more.

Cooks on the East and West Coast now have access to great fresh crab meat, and if you can resist eating it straight from the container or tossing it with a little mayonnaise, it can make a full meal. Fresh crab meat makes the pasta sauce so luxurious that no other dish can provide this with so little work.

Recently, I found fresh crab meat for less than $20 a pound from Maine. It costs more or less the same if you are looking for crab meat from Maryland. "Jumbo meat" is the more expensive than "claw meat" and "lump lump". Just shop around you'll get some fresh crab meat at some really attractive prices.

If you intend making a pasta dish, you will get the claw meat for $15 a pound. Jumbo lump is a bit more costlier at $25 a pound. If you wish to buy freshly picked Dungeness crab, you can look at the West Coast fish markets where it sells for $25 a pound.

You can also use crab meat packed in tins or containers if you can't get fresh ones. They are often pasteurized and packed in containers and then refrigerated. It costs almost the as fresh meat but it is picking up in terms of popularity with crab meat eaters.

It's a second choice but no a terrible one. The fresh crab meat has some intense flavor which may not found in crabs in containers or pasteurized crab.

It's very easy to cook the crab meat. Here is how you do it:

1) Use crab meat, garlic, olive oil and a chili or two.

2) Turn off the heat when the garlic turns "gold" not brown.

3) As soon as the garlic starts coloring, you can add a cup of cherry tomatoes.

4) Continue cooking till the tomatoes collapse.

5) Just heat the crab meat. Ensure that you are not cooking the crab meat as it is already cooked before picking.

There are lot of pasta shapes which you can use with the crab meat. I have not found the right pasta shape, but it doesn't really matter. Just make sure that you shop for the right crab meat instead.

--Pasta With Crab--

~ 1 pound pasta

~ 1/2 pound crab meat, or more

~ 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

~ 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

~ 2 dried red chilies, or to taste

~ 2 tablespoons slivered or minced garlic

~ Salt to taste

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Put oil, garlic, chilies and a pinch of salt in a saucepan large enough to hold cooked pasta and turn heat to medium-low. Cook, shaking pan, until garlic just begins to color; turn off heat.

When water boils, cook pasta. When it is just about done, turn heat under oil back to low and add crab; stir once or twice. Drain pasta (reserve a bit of cooking water), and toss it in crab sauce to coat. If mixture seems a bit dry, add reserved cooking water or more olive oil. Stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and serve.

Yield: 3 or 4 servings.

Pasta Alla Carbonara Recipe

Some carbonara facts:

There are so many varieties of carbonara that it is hard to sort them out. Typically carbonara is made with pancetta or guanciale, egg yolk, and parmesan cheese mixed in spaghetti. Pancetta is a bacon that has been salt cured and spiced with nutmeg, pepper, fennel, dried ground hot peppers and garlic usually and dried for about three months. It is typically not smoked (I will show you how to make it in a later article). On the other hand, guanciale is a smoked bacon with pigs jowls mixed in. I lean toward pancetta and rarely use guanciale (can't get used to the taste). In the US, sometimes cream is used in the recipe, but this is not typical in Italy. I give some variations on carbonara, but the recipe below is my favorite. Oh, by the way, carbonara is Italian for charcoal and has led to the idea that it was a coal miners spaghetti (nonsense - no one probably knows the origins of carbonara).

A delicacy

I would like to think that my carbonara is more of a delicacy than a staple. It is a less traditional recipe than one would find in homes in Italy. But it is so creamy and delicious that my mouth waters just thinking about it. Try my recipe below and then move on to some of the variations I suggest to see what you prefer. It is a great dish for social gatherings.

Ingredients (4 to 5 servings):
8 slices pancetta (you can substitute applewood smoked bacon if you want a more typical American dish)

1 large onion chopped (you can use leeks but make sure you only use the white tender parts)

2 large eggs at room temperature

½ cup parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

1 pound linguine (you can use spaghetti but I don't like it because it is hard to mix with the other ingredients)

Pancetta

Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium high heat until done - about 8 minutes (I don't like it crisp but you may wish to reduce the fat by cooking until crisp). Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon to a plate covered with a paper towel to drain (dice or chop into fine pieces). Add the onions and sauté over medium high heat until tender (about 6 minutes).

Pasta

At the same time, cook the pasta in salted water al dente style (it literally means cook the pasta enough to still have a slight resistance to the pasta when chewed - but this is a matter of taste and I recommend what you are comfortable with). Drain the pasta but reserve at least ½ cup of the liquid that you cooked the pasta in.

Mixing

Whisk the eggs and parmesan cheese in a bowl and then whisk in ¼ cup of the reserved pasta liquid. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the onions and stir while heating. Remove the pasta and onions and then pour the egg mixture over the pasta. Stir until the sauce is a wonderful creamy consistency and the eggs are no longer raw (less than 2 minutes). Return the mixture to a very low heat (do not overcook because the eggs will curdle). Add some of the pasta liquid if the pasta seems dry. Stir in the pancetta and parsley and serve adding salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese to taste.

Voila

I love the opportunities for variation with this dish. The most common carbonara calls for egg yolks instead of eggs. So you can substitute 4 egg yolks for the 2 eggs in the above recipe (I hate to waste the whites). If you have a trim waste line you can add ½ cup heavy cream to the egg mixture and 2 garlic cloves (diced).

Umami Chicken Cacciatore Recipe, Will Tantalize the Taste Buds

Umami- is a Japanese word meaning savory a "deliciousness" factor deriving specifically from detection of the natural amino acid, glutamic acid , or glutamates common in meats, cheese, broth, stock, and other protein-heavy foods.

This is the new catch phrase or hot word around for chefs in the industry. It has been around for a hundred years or so but people are just now starting to really talk about it in food circles and starting to use it more in every day cooking to really pack a punch in everyday meals. This is a dish that will do just that with the flavor of a cooked or rendored pancetta.

Ingredients you will need: Chicken 4 breast- 4 ounces of Pancetta, 1 large red bell diced 1 small onion diced, 3 garlic cloves minced, 1 - 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, 3 ounces of olive or canola oil, 3/4 cup of white wine-one that you would drink, 3 cans of chicken broth, 3 Tablespoons of capers, 2 Teaspoons of dried oregano, 1/4 Cup of fresh minced basil leaves, 1/2 Cup of flour, salt and pepper to taste.

First you will slice you pancetta and brown off in the pan. You will remove and set aside. You will then salt and pepper your chicken and then dredge your chicken in the flour, and sauté your chicken in the pan with your oil. You will then remove the chicken and set aside and add your garlic to the pan over a low heat and let it bloom. Add the rest of your flour if there is any left over, and the wine and let it cook off or brown ever so lightly and then add your tomatoes. The acid from the tomatoes will remove any fond or flavor from the bottom of the pan. You will then add your pancetta and all other ingredients except the chicken to the pan and let it simmer down until the sauce has reduced by a quarter if you want a more runny sauce, or by half if you prefer a thicker sauce. Then you will add back in your chicken to the dish and let it heat back up to a good serving temperature to make sure that the chicken is warm through, and then serve with any pasta or bread you like. I hope that you enjoy this dish it is really good!
