Sichuan/Szechuan Shrimp I thought it was ‘Szechuan’ but I was wrong; it’s Sichuan, well it’s also Sichuan. This is a really spicy stirfry sauce with an awesome balance of sweet and savoury using everyday ingredients. Oh, and it comes together in minutes making this a great weeknight meal. A recipe for the classic super spicy stirfry ...

Classic Shrimp Stir Fry
Classic Shrimp Stir Fry I am a sucker for a great stir fry! The more veggies, the better - crispy, crunchy deliciousness 😋 On this particular day I wanted a sauce like teriyaki but not teriyaki, you know what I mean 🤷♀️🤗 This is how I did it: In a deep pan, preheat the oil on high. When it’s hot (it will ripple) add the ...

Shrimp and Scallop Gnocchi in a Lightened-Up Creamy Garlic Sauce
Shrimp and Scallop Gnocchi in a Lightened-Up Creamy Garlic Sauce So I'm looking at this recipe and it looks complicated but what's odd about that is how easy and versatile it is. I've outlined how to sauté the scallops and cook/warm the shrimp according to how you bought them, ie, fresh or frozen. Literally you're building the cream ...

Pan Seared Scallops
Pan Seared Scallops Without a doubt, one of the most intimidating dishes for anyone to make (just watch Hell’s Kitchen if you don’t believe me). I’m not sure why this dish is so scary but I too used to feel nervous about it; I’m thinking though it comes down to how expensive these suckers can be! Originally posted on June 5th, ...

Baked Lobster Dip
Baked Lobster Dip Mike’s family lives on the east coast of Canada where they have access to incredible seafood. When they visit, they bring us presents, one of which was this canned lobster; another ingredient I was scared to cook.

For years I didn't even take any photos! Then ...
