Sous Vide Lobster Tails
sous vide lobster tails – place the lobster tails in bags along with butter, lemon, herbs – vacuum seal and cook in the water bath (sous vide). Cooked perfectly every time and the poaching liquid becomes the sauce.
Spanakorizo With Shrimp
Spanakorizo – a classic Greek dish which is literally translated as spinach-rice. There are subtle variances to the dish, depending on the household and my twist is to top it/marry it with shrimp.
Lemon Shrimp Linguine
This pasta dish has been in my back pocket of recipes for over a decade. I can cook it on a weeknight, weekend, serve to house guests or catered events. It’s easy, quick, delicious!
Poached Fish with Oil & Lemon Sauce
Poaching fish is another method to cook and enjoy fish. A rich sauce made of reduced poaching liquid, lemon, extra virgin olive, salt and pepper and some herbs.
Shrimp Phyllo Pies
Earlier this month I served these shrimp filled phyllo triangles at my monthly Greek Supper Club and they were a big hit!
The inspiration comes from the Portuguese shrimp turnovers (rissois) I enjoyed last year during my trip to Portugal. I thought the filling would work as a filling wrapped in phyllo and I added Old Bay Seasoning as an accent for the shrimp filling.
A touch of Portuguese, a little Greek and a taste of the American south combine to make a tasty appetizer. I bet you can’t eat just one!
Oysters With Kimchi Mignonette
Try some fresh oysters with a twist – a kimchi mignonette as a garnish.
Steamed Clams With Garlic
Clams are a very easy dish to prepare – half the work is already done by nature and you the cook just has to source them and prepare/cook them simply.
Mediterranean Seared Tuna
Seared tuna with a raw chunky sauce that’s quick to prepare.
Seafood Boil
One of the best, tastiest and “big show” ways to entertain family and friends is to host a seafood boil. A seafood boil is an informal meal where an array of seafood are boiled in a seasoned liquid and when cooked, the contents are simply laid out for all to pick and eat what they want.
Tuna Poke
On occasion, I just don’t want to cook in the kitchen and you want something cooling to fill your belly. There’s a Hawaiian dish called poke, a quick marinate of cubed fish and it is often served on a bowl of rice and assorted condiments or (in this case) like an appetizer.
