I’m always on the hunt for recipes that are fast, delicious and healthy and this shrimp dish has become one of my favorites.

Shrimp with Lemon and Harissa
Shrimp is so versatile. It’s a lean protein that can be added to almost any dish both hot and cold or eaten as is, steamed and dipped in your favorite cocktail sauce. Frozen shrimp is a staple in my freezer. Forgot to take the bag out of the freezer, no worries. Rinse in a colander…
Red Curry Glazed Salmon
The American Heart Association suggests eating at least 8 ounces of fish per week and the heart healthy Mediterranean eating plan recommends up to 15 ounces per week.

Tuscan Shrimp and Beans
Cook’s Illustrated featured this recipe back in March/April 2017. Whenever I see “Tuscan” in the title of a recipe, I’m sold. You will find a bounty of beans in many Tuscan-based dishes (which is why I like them) and adding shrimp to the beans seemed like a winning combination. This deeply flavored dish is a…
