Grilled Garlic Shrimp

These grilled shrimp receive a double dose of garlic flavor - fresh garlic and garlic salt. Try not to marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the acid from the lemon juice will start to break down the delicate shrimp meat and make it mushy. Extra large shrimp come 26 to 30 shrimp per pound.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
½ teaspoon garlic salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 wooden skewers

Directions

Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.
Pour marinade into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag and toss to coat with the marinade. Seal bag and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

Szechuan shrimp is an impressive dish made with simple ingredients. I usually make it for company. For more or less heat, adjust the amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice.

Crème Fraîche Chicken

This chicken recipe with crème fraîche and mushrooms is what my French mom made when I was an exchange student in France. It has been my favorite ever since! No one can make it like her, but this is very close. Serve with French bread or garlic bread if desired.

Colorado Buffalo Chili

This spicy chili recipe uses ground buffalo. To step up the heat, use different peppers and experiment with the seasonings. This gets even better if you let it sit overnight. The chili is so good you'll need to find another way to use up your cheese and crackers.

Cherry Tomato Galette

While tomato galette sounds a little fancy, this rustic pie is actually easy to make plus this galette recipe is incredibly adaptable to whatever is in season. Whether that's sweet fruit or savory vegetables, there are very few things you can't galette! Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

This tasty kung pao chicken is similar to what is served in Chinese restaurants. It's easy to make, and you can be as creative with the measurements as you want. You can't go wrong! The sauce reduces until nice and thick.
