Smoked Shrimp
Few dishes capture the essence of summer quite like smoked shrimp, where tender seafood meets the rich, smoky flavors imparted by pecan or cherry wood chips.

Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Scampi is a classic seafood dish that is widely popular. It’s considered Italian-American cuisine and consists of shrimp that is cooked in a butter, garlic, and white wine sauce. It’s wonderful to eat on its own or can be paired with rice or pasta. It can be served as an appetizer or can be a main course. I love how effortless and simple it is to make. You can whip it up for a quick weeknight meal or impress guests at a dinner party because it looks like an elegant meal. It requires few ingredients to make but the sauce is the key because that’s where all the flavor blend together and give you the lemony, garlicky, buttery combination. The recipe can be found here. Start by marinating the shrimp. You can use frozen or fresh but if you do use frozen, make sure it is completely thawed, and drain any liquid from the packaging before … Continue reading

Sheet Pan Mediterranean Shrimp
Escape to the Mediterranean for a fun weeknight dinner that will feed the whole family and leave you feeling satisfied! The recipe is for Sheet Pan Mediterranean Shrimp. As the name suggests, the recipe is cooked entirely on a sheet pan, so you have easy assembly, easy cleanup, and you can use the sheet pan as your serving platter. You can eat the shrimp as is and enjoy the rest of the sheet pan ingredients as a salad or combine all ingredients, so you get a little of everything in each bite. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and absorbs some of the other flavors while baking. I think red onion can be quite potent but when it’s combined with the other Mediterranean flavors, it really mellows out but still give you a nice crunch. The olives and feta cheese sprinkled over the top really bring it all together. The recipe can be found here. … Continue reading

State Fair Home Edition
The Minnesota State Fair is in full swing. Do you plan on going? I know a lot of people that plan on attending the fair and a lot of people that don’t, for various reasons. I sure love the fair and missed not being able to attend last year. Unfortunately, this year, it’s also not in the cards for me. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy some delicious fair food at home, and you can do the same! First off, I want to share with you a link to a blog I wrote last year. The blog is called Your Favorite MN State Fair Food…at Home, because that’s what the blog is about – creating and enjoying all the classic state fair foods in the comfort of your own home. I wrote this blog because the fair was cancelled last year and wanted to give everyone the option of … Continue reading

Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Pasta with Shrimp
Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Pasta with Shrimp is an Italian inspired seafood pasta recipe. It’s decadent, easy, and you’ll love it! I’m always looking for an excuse to use sun dried tomatoes. I love the sweet yet tart flavor and the chewy texture. They add some incredible flavor to any dish, especially when you use some of the oil from the jar to sauté other items vs traditional olive oil. It’s a great combination of tender shrimp, creamy sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes in every bite. The recipe can be found here. Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. I like to use fettuccini noodles, but any noodle shape will work just fine. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining. Then drain the noodles and set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I suggest using the … Continue reading

Pineapple Shrimp Skewers
We love to grill, and we love seafood, so we combined the two to create Pineapple Shrimp Skewers. These are prefect for a lighter dinner and come together so quickly! Plus, you can customize the skewers to different tastes by adding different fruits or veggies to accompany the shrimp. They are sweet yet citrusy, and very delicious! The recipe can be found here. Start by combining the coconut milk, hot sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and orange juice in a bowl. Pour into a Ziplock bag, then add the shrimp to the bag and toss to coat. Seal the bag and place in the fridge to marinate for 1-2 hours. Make sure the shrimp is thawed and shelled before placing in the bag! While the shrimp marinates, soak wooden skewers in water. I like to fill a drinking glass with water and place the skewers inside. Once the shrimp is … Continue reading

Small Bites
It’s hard to believe that summer is already coming to an end and it’s time to begin planning the Labor Day menu for the last hurrah of summer. Small bites to share are a great option to bring for potluck gatherings on the holiday weekend or to serve for a family buffet dinner. One of the most tasty bites we can think of are Mini Ham Sandwiches, a sweet and savory mix of flavors and…you can prepare them the night before.
