1 Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers

Get ready to impress your friends and family with these delicious Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers! Juicy shrimp marinated in a zesty lemon-garlic blend make for a perfect appetizer or main dish. Easy to prepare and fun to eat, these skewers are ideal for any backyard cookout or picnic.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Additional Time: 30 minutes (marination)
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, juice and zest
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions:

Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure everything is well combined.

Next, add the shrimp to the marinade. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

While the shrimp is marinating, if you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning. This step helps your skewers stay intact while grilling.

After marination, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.

Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, or they may become tough.

Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and serve them hot. You can garnish with extra lemon wedges or chopped parsley for added flavor.

Tips:

1. For extra flavor, add some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to the marinade.
2. If you like spice, toss in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
3. Serve these skewers with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.

2 Spring Pea and Crab Risotto

Spring Pea and Crab Risotto is a delicious and creamy dish that perfectly combines the freshness of spring peas with sweet crab meat. This risotto is simple to make and brings a touch of elegance to any meal. It’s great for celebrating the spring season and enjoying the vibrant flavors it offers!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup fresh spring peas (or frozen peas)
• 1 cup lump crab meat
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions:

Begin by heating the broth in a saucepan over low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling. In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Next, add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring it for about 2 minutes. This will help toast the rice and bring out its flavor. Then, pour in the white wine if you are using it, and let it cook until it is mostly absorbed.

Now, it’s time to add the warm broth to the rice, one ladle at a time. Stir continuously, allowing each ladle of broth to be absorbed before adding the next one. This process will take about 20 minutes and will make the risotto creamy and smooth.

When the rice is almost cooked, stir in the spring peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then fold in the crab meat, along with the butter and Parmesan cheese. Mix everything well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the risotto is creamy and the peas are tender, remove it from heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor!

Tips:

1. For added flavor, you can replace half of the vegetable broth with seafood stock.
2. Make sure to stir the risotto often to prevent it from sticking and to achieve the best creamy texture.
3. If using frozen peas, add them during the last minute of cooking to retain their bright color and sweetness.

15 Stuffed Squid with Quinoa and Spinach

Stuffed Squid with Quinoa and Spinach is a delicious and healthy dish that’s perfect for a special dinner. These tender squid tubes are filled with a yummy mixture of quinoa and spinach, making every bite a burst of flavor. It’s a great way to enjoy seafood while getting in some nutritious ingredients!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Additional Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 8 large squid tubes, cleaned
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth or water
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• **1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

Start by cooking the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add the 1 cup of quinoa, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.

While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it’s soft. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Next, stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Once the spinach is ready, mix in the cooked quinoa, paprika, salt, and pepper. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, add it now and stir everything together until well combined.

Now, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully stuff each cleaned squid tube with the quinoa and spinach mixture. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for this. Do not overstuff; leave a little space at the top, as the quinoa will expand while cooking.

Place the stuffed squid in a baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. This will make the squid tender. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes if you want a bit of a golden color on top.

Once done, take the squid out of the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top for an added zing!

Tips:

1. For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like parsley or basil to the stuffing.
2. Adjust the spices to your taste. A little chili powder can give it a nice kick!
3. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
