Spaghetti with Shrimp, Broccolini and Basil

Bouillabaisse

The difference between bouillabaisse and any other fish soup lies in the combination of flavors beyond the seafood stock. A hint of saffron, an accent of zested orange, and a few sliced fennel bulbs and fronds bring out an essence from the seafood that would otherwise remain hidden. While they might seem simple, omit any one of these ingredients and the depth of flavor in your bouillabaisse will lose the complexity that earned it such a vibrant reputation.

Piri Piri Shrimp

The underlying flavor of this piri piri sauce comes from caramelized onions and red bell peppers. Bird’s eye chilis bring some heat to the sauce, and lemon juice and fresh oregano round everything out with a complex mix of acidity and herbal notes.

Easy Spaghetti and Meatballs

WHEN I was a teenager, I cooked dinner every night for our family of four...Mom, Dad, Grandmother, who lived next door, and myself.

These tempting tacos are low in fat but full of zippy flavor. I often modify the recipe to our tastes by adding more tomato and green onion an a bit of cheddar cheese. It's a keeper!

Thai Style Peanut Pork

My husband and I both work long hours. This slow cooker recipe is large enough that the two of us can eat as much yummy pork as we like and still have leftovers! It's important to use low sodium or no-salt products in the recipe or the dish will be too salty.

Plum Glazed Roast Chicken

I adjusted a recipe for duck so I could use a chicken instead, and it’s been a favorite holiday entree ever since. I’ve also substituted a small 9- to 11-pound turkey.

Louisiana Barbecued Shrimp From Toni Tipton-Martin & B. Smith

Louisiana barbecued shrimp is that sort of magical dish that's intensely flavored, super fast to cook, and perfect for entertaining. But don't let the name fool you. As author Toni Tipton-Martin writes, "You won’t find any barbecue sauce in the model/chef/restaurateur B. Smith’s dish of shrimp in spiced butter sauce: 'Barbecue shrimp' is just the name Louisiana Creole cooks assigned to shrimp braised in wine, beer or a garlic-butter sauce."

Parmesan Fish Sticks

I wanted a healthier approach to fish sticks and developed a baked tilapia with a slightly peppery bite. My husband and sons love the crispy coating.
