ALMOND SHRIMP WITH AMARETTO BUTTER



Almond Shrimp with Amaretto Butter image

A fabulous, romantic dish for two - and it's quick and easy! I adapted the recipe from a Junior League of Lafayette, LA recipe; they say that it is the creation of Sous Chef Bryan Richard of Chez Marcelle. The original recipe calls for an entire stick of butter, but I think you'll agree that 3 tbsp. is plenty. If you like Amaretto, you'll love this! It can be served with angel hair pasta, but I like to eat it without so as not to interfere with the delicious flavors.

JADE AND CORAL ALMOND SHRIMP



Jade and Coral Almond Shrimp image

This was one of the first recipes I found (who knows where?) when I decided years ago that I really liked shrimp. I usually serve this over rice for a very pretty, colorful dinner. It's also good when made with scallops instead of shrimp.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH SECRET INGREDIENT



Swedish Meatballs With Secret Ingredient image

When I was growing up there was a chain of Swedish Smorgasbord restaurants in the area which I lived. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I met the original owner of that chain at a private party in the last remaining restaurant in the chain. He cooked the foods for this party himself with his son who at that time was the manager of that one remaining establishment. One of the dishes that he served, personally to the 20+ persons invited, was his Swedish Meatballs. They were the absolute best tasting meatballs I ever ate. I took him aside and asked him quietly..."is the wonderful taste in these meatballs the fennel seeds in the sauce?" He smiled and whispered back..."yes that is my secret for making the best Swedish meatballs". I came upon a recipe for Swedish Meatballs at Group Recipes.com that sounded so similar to that recipe so I wanted to post this version for the ZWT #6 2010 Scandinavian Region.
