It’s difficult to mess up a seafood recipe. As you know a lot of sea food is eaten raw in many parts of the world. Seafood needs minimum cooking time and only a little bit of spices or dressing.

Recipes with shrimps are popular in every culture. Though we have tried many shrimp recipes, my family always comes back to our family favorite. It is quite simple, really. You have to heat oil in a pan, and, while the oil is heating, thinly slice red onions and remove shells from the shrimp. Once the oil is hot, carefully put the onions and shrimp on the pan, add chili powder and salt. The mixture has to cook until the shrimp are curled, and the onions formed the red gravy. The dish looks searing hot, but it is not.

Nothing to it, wont you agree? Fish is really quite nice to eat raw when made into a Japanese style sushi or the Bali recipe which calls for a marinade of lemon juice and coconut milk and served up with cucumber and tomatoes. Fish steaks are so easily versatile that they can be grilled, pan fried or microwaved. Usually fish recipes range from the simplest, in which you simply microwave fillets of fish with a bit of butter and lemon juice with salt and pepper added for taste. Fishn chips of England are peerless, in my opinion. But we like our fish spiced up with hot spices and pan fried. If you add ground opinion, ginger and garlic to the hot spices, smear the paste generously over the stakes and grill or pan fry them, they are absolutely wonderful.

Salmon, generally considered to be an expensive delicacy, is not my favorite fish. I would any day prefer trout to it. However, the one salmon recipe that has found some favor with our family is a salmon paste that goes well as a sandwich spread. Everybody in life undoubtedly has the preferences of one’s own, for example, a spicy paste of salmon may considered to be a great insult to the beautiful fish by some people whereas others may like the taste to the core of their hearts. I tried salmon at the restaurant and didn’t like the tangy flavor so I haven’t tried it since then.

If I had used my home salmon recipes to marinade the salmon steaks in a spicy mixture, it might have passed the requirements of my fussy aste buds. The first impressions are always lasting, aren’t they? Well, I dont miss having salmon because it is simply not available in this part of the world where we live!
