Kicking Off Summer

The official start of Summer is Sunday so I thought it was only appropriate to give you the most epic and delicious lobster roll!

what you do:

1. Put the cooked lobster and crab in a bowl and set aside

2. In another bowl mix together mayo, celery, dill, basil, salt and a dash of Old Bay seasoning. Then add in your seafood.

3. I used my air fryer to toast my buns. Before toasting, spread some mayo on them. Toast to preference.

This recipe is beyond perfect to kick off the summer season! It’s fancy but so very easy. Adding crab to this lobster roll really takes it up a notch.

Happy noshing Friends!

Meatless Favorites

During Lent for many years, I give meat up. But not fish. One time I gave it up for Lent and didn’t eat it again for three years only to break it on my honeymoon.

So this year I did the same. Only fish no meat. When Lent was over I decided to start The Mediterranean Diet. Very up my ally. I thought I would share with you three very easy recipes that were constantly in my rotation. These would be perfect for a Meatless Monday!

This is so easy and delicious! All you do is spread the sweet potato on your wrap an and add everything else. I sprinkled with garlic salt because, well, I do that with everything.

Again this is so easy and ready in minutes! Simply toss everything but the cheese in some olive oil and cook until he peppers are blistered. When done, add the cheese so it gets a little meaty.

I love tuna steaks in my soul and eat them regularly. For this salad just assemble as you would any other salad. And after the tuna steak is thawed, season with whatever you want, no surprise here I use garlic. With a little oil in the pan, on high heat, sear the steak on both sized for about two minutes. I like a more rare tuna but if you prefer it well done aim for about four minutes on both sides.

I hope you try one of these delicious, fast and easy recipes!
Enjoy your Wednesday!

A Sea Snack

Hello, hello!

We’ve made it to midweek and I sure do have a snack or side dish for you!

One of my very favorite combinations are shrimp and crab. I basically will love any recipe that includes the two. This recipe is taken from my favorite cookbook series “Skinny Taste”.

what you do:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees

• Butterfly the shrimp by cutting a slit down the back of the shrimp. Flatten with knife.

• In a bowl combine panko, lemon juice, mayo, mustard, whole egg, egg white, parsley, Old Bay, paprika, and pepper to taste.

• Stir well and fold in the crabmeat, don’t overmix. Place one tablespoon of the crab mixture on each shrimp. Top each with melted butter.

• Bake on the center rack for about 8 minutes. Then broil for about 2 minutes for extra crisp. Serve with lemon wedges.

Upon further reflection on this recipe I think I would exclude the mustard. For me I think it just added an odd flavor that I personally wasn’t a fan of. Other than that it was like a little crab cake on top of shrimp. Yum.

Have a fabulous Wednesday!
