Thai Red Pepper Shrimp

Tagged with:

A Thai-inspired creation with sweet red bell peppers and garlic ... It's very important not to skip the fish sauce in this recipe! I KNOW it smells weird at first, but trust me it becomes delicious once you cook it ... This dish cannot be called Thai without it ... It's like the Thai version of soy sauce, so you can adjust how much you add ... Btw, sambal oelek is a very spicy red chili paste (should be easy to find--it usually has a gold label) ... You can leave it out if you don't like your

photo: Jim G via flickr By now you'd have to have been living on a desert island by yourself with an imaginary coconut companion to not know that overfishing is a serious problem for all the world's oceans. The good news is, though the future for fish looks pretty dire if we keep up how we've been fishing, we already have seen conservation successes to show the way forward and stop overfishing ...

Easy, quick and inexpensive; fairly healthy as long as you don't go overboard on the butter. I prefer Andy's fish fry, but Zatarain's plain works well also. -- posted by Chef #1275988 ...

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recently filed a complaint in federal court against the Department of the Interior for a new initiative by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to list animal and plant species in portions of their range that are found to be significant even if their population in general is not threatened with extinction. The agency has misinterpreted the Endangered Species Act, NAHB says, and it has implemented this new regulation without allowing for

A very simple and delicious salsa. In fact, the hardest part is cutting the mango. If cutting mangoes vexes you, do a google search for "how to cut a mango". There are some good videos out there on this technique.I like this over black bean burgers. It's also perfect on grilled fish or chicken. -- posted by Billy Zac ...

fish, low-fat, recipe

Published Aug. 9, 2010 at 3:12 p.m.

My husband said this might be the best salad I've ever made! Many of the ingredients came from my garden ... The original recipe for the dressing is from The Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, but I reduced the amount and changed the ingredients to be lower fat ... You may want to adjust the salt because I did not add anymore than what is in the fish sauce (which is pretty salty) to my recipe. -- posted by itsjustbethk ...
