Paloma Shrimp (Shrimp in Grapefruit and Tequila)

September 4, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

A paloma is a delicious cocktail made with tequila and grapefruit juice, topped with grapefruit soda or sparkling water. I love a paloma almost more than a margarita. And this fantastic combination of tart-sweet citrus and punchy tequila is a perfect paring for fresh shrimp. I think this dish is a great way to hold on to the fading end of summer at home, pretending you are at a … [Read more...] about Paloma Shrimp (Shrimp in Grapefruit and Tequila)

Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

June 19, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I love a hearty cold pasta salad in the summer. This version is inspired by the classic Greek flavors of shrimp, feta and tomatoes, which is a favorite combination for me. The fresh tomato vinaigrette and pops of salty feta marry with Greek-inspired herbs, with a little fennel for crunch and bite. Hearty enough to serve on its own, but you could also scoop into lettuce leaves … [Read more...] about Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

Bloody Mary Shrimp Platter Salad

From the hearty Steak House Platter Salad to the sophisticated Lyonnaise Style … [Read more...] about Bloody Mary Shrimp Platter Salad

Shrimp and Chorizo One Pot Pasta

January 30, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The dark, chilly days of winter can bring on this sort of pall and lack of energy (or maybe that’s just this Southerner that doesn’t do well in the cold). I don’t feel as energized, motivated or creative. But mostly, more time in the house means more mess and more mess is more frustration. So a one pot, low mess, fewer dirty dishes dinner is just the thing. But that doesn’t … [Read more...] about Shrimp and Chorizo One Pot Pasta

Big Skillet Shrimp Butter Boil

May 16, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

A classic shrimp boil is a great deal of fun. But let’s be honest, quite a bit of trouble. If you don’t have a huge pot, don’t have a big vessel or table to put it all on, you are kind of out of luck. I consider it a fun “event” – lots of people gathered around to dig into a pile of fresh shrimp, having a great conversation while peeling away. For the full experience, I love … [Read more...] about Big Skillet Shrimp Butter Boil

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
