A Thing of Beauty.

To me, this is a thing of beauty. A large bowl of Oysters, Shrimp, Stone Crab Claws, Mussels & Lemon, which should be slathered in hot sauce and enjoyed alongside a cold hand crafted libation. Happy Saturday Everyone.

Recipe Of The Day: Seafood Paella

Springtime in our test kitchen calls for plenty of seafood. Lately we have been fielding lots of recipe requests from our readers (please keep em coming!!!) for various light meals that can be prepared during the week. As well as those great requests for meals to surprise a loved one with a gourmet dinner that will really knock their socks off (or at least help you get closer to knockin’ their boots out of shape.) Today we wanted to reach back and showcase one of our insanely deep flavored but incredibly easy to pull off dishes, Seafood Paella. Most all of these ingredients can be found at your local market so don’t worry about having to make twenty different stops before you can even get to work.

Enjoy!!!

Seafood Paella with Shrimp, Spicy Chorizo, Mussels & Chicken

A dear friend of ours asked us to put up a recipe for Paella that wasn’t an all day affair. This recipe is from a Cuban-Creole restaurant we used to frequent years ago that we turned into our own and serve up every now and then. Go easy on the saffron, a lot of people like to think because it is so expensive that they should add more to the dish because they have it, that will only result in an overpowering flavor and a waste of your money.

Enjoy this over the weekend before the warm days are gone.
