Shrimp Coconut Curry

May 18, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I usually make this curry with chicken but felt like some shrimp last night and had some in the freezer that needed using up. (I just did a freezer inventory so am trying to make sure I use up what needs using!)  I use whatever vegetables I have around. Last night was some yellow and [...]

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Redux

January 18, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My girls remembered when I made these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps and asked for them again. Of course, this was last minute and I decided to try a modified version,  since I had no cabbage or chow mein noodles. We did miss the crunch of the chow mein noodles and water chestnuts but I substituted [...]

Spicy Shrimp in Coconut Sauce

A friend passed along some older issues of Cooking Light magazine last weekend. I got fixed on using up some frozen shrimp I had  so browsed through a few issues for some ideas.  There were several that sounded quite good and I settled on this one.  I made some steamed rice and snow peas to [...]

Spaghetti with Shrimp & Ricotta Sauce

September 20, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Ricotta cheese was on sale “buy 1 get 1 free” and they were the large containers. So 2 large containers ended up costing me less than one smaller container, which was still more than I needed. I take opportunities like this to explore new recipes. Eldest is tired of chicken. Around here chicken is today’s [...]

Worcestershire Shrimp

Here was an easy way to fix up some frozen shrimp. I had the tiger shrimp in the freezer and was looking for something somewhat plain to do with them as my kids aren’t into stuff “all over” their shrimp! This fit the bill. This also came from The Minimalist Cooks Dinner by Mark Bittman. [...]
