Shrimp, California Avocado & Rice Noodle Spring Rolls Recipe
Last weekend I made like Billy Idol and let out a rebel yell. Or maybe it was more of a caveman grunt. I become a little overwrought with excitement when the grilling season hits. Last year, I posted How to: Grill Like a Girl…My Best Tips to help any wannabe grillers tackle their fear of…
10-Minute Thai Shrimp, Cucumber & Avocado Salad Recipe
“Quick lunch” does not have to mean “boring lunch”. Believe me, I’ve had my fair share of lackluster sandwiches or past-their-prime leftovers, but leaving the table dissatisfied leads to trouble. Snacking kind of trouble. And I don’t mean the good kind of snacking. A couple of cheese and crackers here, a handful of chips there….

Sweet & Spicy Grilled Shrimp Recipe with Marmalade Molasses Sauce
I fancy myself as a hardy sort of gal. You know, going for more than a day without my favorite sparkling water or only packing four pairs of shoes for a vacation. Tough girl, right? Yeah, yeah…just kidding. Truth be told, I’m more likely to run an extra mile in the rain just to feel…
Grilled Curry Shrimp Skewers with Grilled Onion & Red Pepper Sauce Recipe
When it comes to grilling, the passing of Memorial Day in the United States is like the ringing of the bell on Wall Street or the starter’s pistol at the beginning of a 100 meter dash. Barbecue enthusiasts set to work in a kind of charcoal-induced frenzy as though someone yelled, “Ready…set…grill!” If you’re one…
Salad Cups with Quinoa, Shrimp, Avocado & Lemon Dressing Recipe
These salad cups rank with some of my favorite lunch recipes. Shrimp, avocado, quinoa and a simple lemon dressing come together for a light, delicious meal.

Roasted Shrimp with Rosemary, Garlic & Lemon Recipe
My love of shrimp started innocently enough. At some point when I was a little girl, someone set a shrimp cocktail in front of me. Not the kind with the large shrimp (or prawns, as we call them in Canada), but the tiny bay shrimp, the ones that were the perfect size for a little…

This rice noodle salad is a breeze to make! And if you love shrimp and Asian flavors, this is definitely for you. Belgian endive, as the name suggests, was first a product of Belgium (though there are now many growers in North America). So, why the heck am I pairing it with Asian ingredients, such…

Curry Rice Vermicelli with Shrimp & Edamame Recipe
The word “chopsticks” produces unparalleled excitement at mealtime in our house. Last year, I set aside the old, plain chopsticks we used and bought each boy a special pair of their own. They promptly etched their initials into the end of each chopstick with a permanent marker. When they hear potstickers or soba noodles are…

Shrimp, Cucumber & Curry Cream Cheese Canapes Recipe
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Kraft. When I was growing up, my mum and I would occasionally fix ourselves a real afternoon tea, complete with fine china, sandwiches and a full pot of Orange Pekoe tea. We set to work cutting the crusts off of multiple slices of soft, white bread. Some…
Shrimp, Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Quesadilla Recipe
Many people claim that Super Bowl Sunday is not the time to think about healthy eating.

Shrimp, Potato & Fennel Chowder Recipe

Pam Anderson’s Spicy Coconut Shrimp Stew Recipe
Pam Anderson is a popular name in many kitchens. No, not the Pam Anderson that runs down the beach in a red bathing suit, life-saving device tucked under her arm.
