I’ve had Calabrian chile and shrimp on my mind for a few weeks now, ever since the last dinner we had in Las Vegas back in August. More to come on this, but let’s just say I’ve been thinking about how to improve the entree I had that night, and it has led me to…

Spicy mezcal-orange shrimp with rosemary and kumquats.
A few months ago we were in Mexico City (more on that later) and one of my absolute favorite places to go was Bósforo, a teeny tiny mezcaleria that was located a few blocks from our hotel. They serve really creative takes on Mexican food with fresh ingredients like house-made tortillas, and their main specialty…
Giada De Laurentiis’ pepperoncini shrimp.
With Halloween long over and November in full swing, it seems like everyone I know is either thinking about “stuffing season” or is already breaking out the holiday décor. Honestly, if you’re in the latter camp, I can’t say I blame you–it’s been a tough last two years, and if seeing some twinkly lights or…
Roasted shrimp cocktail with roasted tomato cocktail sauce inspired by Ina Garten and Tom Colicchio.
When it became absolutely clear that we were not going to be going anywhere for Thanksgiving back in November, I wasted no time in planning a good meal for us that would be a combination of our favorite foods: roasted duck legs, green bean casserole (for Michael), roasted mushroom soup (for me), tortellini, a Basque-style…
Padma Lakshmi’s sweet and sour shrimp with cherry tomatoes from Cherry Bombe: The Cookbook and her new show Taste the Nation, worth watching right now.
A very long time ago, back when we lived in New Haven, day trips to Manhattan were a pretty regular occurrence for us. One of these trips included good friends of ours and we spent the day visiting the MoMA, doing a little shopping at Barney’s New York, getting a drink at L’Orange Bleu…
Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs via Seasoned To Taste; or, the deviled eggs that will make you the MVP of any cookout or potluck.
Something that not many people know about me is that I really, really like deviled eggs. Whenever we’d go to Dinosaur Barbecue I’d order a few pieces to go along with our wings, and when I had the chance to get the roe-topped eggs at Yardbird that were sumptuously featured on Anthony Bourdain’s Miami Parts…
A txiquiteo in San Sebastian: shrimp and pancetta pinxtos with modern allioli.
It should come as no surprise that I was determined to embrace Basque cooking even before we had left San Sebastian; I found one of the few open-on-Sunday bookstores and purchased myself a copy of Los Mejores Pintxos de Donostia along with another book devoted to tartines that was too visually appealing to pass up,…
Taking shrimp scampi from the ’90s wasteland to the 21st century with Alton Brown.
Few dishes scream “I was big in the nineties!” like shrimp scampi, maybe because even writing words takes me back to a table at a Red Lobster with a plate of butterflied fried shrimp and shirmp scampi before me, with the latter drowning in too much butter and probably some crappy white wine. It was…
Sabor de soledad: mango-cucumber salad with sambal shrimp as inspired by Stephanie Izard.
As I’m writing this, Michael is at the airport, headed to San Antonio for trip number two of three he’s taking this month for work, so I’ve been busy figuring out my meal plan for when he’s gone. This is going to be the longest trip of the three, thankfully, but of course now we…
Our New Year’s roundup, including some baking from Momofuku Milk Bar.
Happy 2017, my friends! My year started off inauspiciously with my phone suddenly not working, so I have to send it to LG to see if it’s salvageable. (At least my old Razr smartphone is functional so I’m not completely without a phone right now. Here’s hoping it can hang on until August when my…
