Recipes

Red Curry Shrimp & Butternut Squash

For many of us, Asian food evokes thoughts of flavorful dishes from culinary places far away, or at the very least, a trip to a favorite local Asian restaurant. There’s no need to travel any further than your own kitchen in order to have these tasty meals.

Curry dishes get their flavor from rich pastes made of aromatics. In this red-style curry, that paste is a mixture of red chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass. It’s a bit spicy, but coconut milk tames the heat.

Bouillabaisse Clambake

Clambakes aren’t just for those who live near surf and sand. You can enjoy a seaside tradition right from your stove top no matter where you live. A stove-top clambake is a simple one-pot meal that you can indulge in far from salty ocean breezes. How’s that possible? The term clambake is really a misnomer — nothing’s baked, but instead steamed. You only need access to clams, a large pot, a steaming liquid, and a stove.

Build a flavor-packed liquid for steaming with ingredients from th…

Chicken & Shrimp Paella with Kielbasa

This version of paella uses accessible ingredients, standard kitchen equipment, and a simple presentation. And you know, it’s a better dish because of it!

Spain’s classic rice dish, paella [pie-AY-yuh], has great flavor and eye appeal. But today’s cooks might be inclined to pass it by. Made in a special pan with homemade stock and meticulous presentation, it’s just too fussy. Isn’t there an easier path to paella?

Yes, there is! This recipe proves that using everyday ingredients…

Salmon Alfredo with Capers & Chives

You can never have enough pasta dishes in your arsenal for busy weeknights. This Alfredo, coupled with quick-cooking, user-friendly salmon, is one to add to your list.

The key is to start with the freshest fish available. To ensure freshness, head to a market with a high fish turnover. Buy a one pound portion of a whole side of salmon (or steelhead trout) with the skin still attached — it will easily “peel” right off after it’s cooked.

For flawless fettuccine Alfredo, toss the …

Crab, Avocado & Grapefruit Salad with Grapefruit-Tarragon Vinaigrette

No matter when you eat it — as a first course, along with the meal, or as a palate cleanser before dessert — round out your meal with this refreshing salad. Sweet crab and a light citrus-herb vinaigrette make it much more than a typical dinner salad. And because they’re at their sweetest and juiciest this time of year, the red jeweled grapefruit segments make it extra-special.

Creamy Crab Bisque

Bisque is a rather refined soup often reserved for special occasions. But with quality crabmeat, that’s readily available, you can make it for dinner (or dinner parties) any time the craving strikes. The flavors of seafood, sherry, and tomato are highlighted in every scrumptious bite.

Southwestern Crab Cakes with Chipotle-Lime Aioli

With premium canned or pasteurized crabmeat, you don’t have to live on a coast or wait for crab season to enjoy this delicacy — it’s always available and ready to use. Plus, outside a crab boil, you’ll be hard-pressed to tell it apart from fresh. You just won’t have to do any picking!

Start by turning this sweet and succulent seafood into ever-popular crab cakes. Cumin adds a hint of smokiness for a southwestern twist, while bell pepper, corn, and scallions complete the flavor profil…

Classic Crab Dip

Certain to steal the show, crab dip is a long-time favorite ... and you’ll want to dive right into this one! Fresh, sharp seasonings — lemon, Worcestershire, and horseradish — balance the richness of the cheeses and the crab. And the panko topping adds great crunch to this creamy appetizer recipe. Serve this seafood dip with baguette slices, crostini, or your favorite crackers. For fresh alternatives, try apples, pears, or celery sticks.

Fish Stock

Of all the stocks you should be making at home, fish stock is it. Why? Because it's more delicate and fresher tasting than anything you can buy commercially. As with most stocks, the beauty is that you control the ingredients (and homemade stock is usually cheaper than what you'll find at the supermarket, plus it makes a ton — perfect for freezing.) The only problem with homemade stocks is that they're gone too quickly!

Citrus Shrimp Pizzettes

Grilled pizza is the closest home cooks get to the distinctive charred flavor of wood-fired pizza, and these pizzettes are no exception. The hot, dry heat of the grill cooks the dough up quick and gives extra flavor to the shrimp. Just don’t leave the shrimp in the marinade too long — the citrus can actually cook them before you get them on the grill.

The flavors of mild shrimp, rich cream cheese, and warm, fresh pizza dough combine for a result that’s reminiscent of crab rangoon. And…
