Shrimp Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Vegetables

Ingredients

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Season shrimp with the Old Bay seasoning and cook 6-7 minutes, until shrimp are just done. Remove shrimp from the heat and allow to cool completely. Roughly chop the shrimp.

While the shrimp is cooling, beat the cream cheese and butter with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer. Beat for several minutes until the mixture becomes light and airy. Add the beaten egg, salt, pepper, herbs, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and sour cream. Mix well. Fold the shrimp into the cream cheese mixture.

Coat the bottoms of the portabellas with the non-stick marinade. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly into the mushrooms.

Prepare the grill. Cook mushrooms 10-12 min over direct medium heat for 12-15 minutes, rotating twice. Serve immediately.

Amalfi Lemon Cake

There's a particular kind of sunshine that only shows up in citrus form, and this Amalfi Lemon Cake has it in spades. Bright, moist, and unapologetically lemony, it walks the line between a proper dessert and something you'd be just as happy eating with your coffee on a Tuesday morning. The glaze soaks into the crumb while the cake's still warm, so every bite carries that little pucker of acidity balanced against real sweetness. It's simple enough for a weeknight and pretty enough for company.

Pecan Crusted Redfish

There's a certain kind of Southern kitchen wisdom that says you can't improve on a fresh Gulf redfish — and for the most part, that's true. But every now and then a dish comes along that doesn't so much improve the fish as it does pay proper respect to it, and this pecan-crusted redfish is one of those. It's a dish that works just as well for a Tuesday supper as it does for a table full of guests you're trying to impress — which, if you ask me, is the mark of a truly great recipe. Serve it simple, with rice or grits and something green on the side, and let the fish do the talking.

Stuffed Pork

Robert St. John's Stuffed Pork is an elegant centerpiece dish that takes a braised pork loin and layers it with Black Forest ham and melted Fontina cheese for a result that's as impressive to look at as it is to eat. The pork is seared, slow-roasted in chicken stock, and then sliced accordion-style so each cut fans open to hold the savory fillings before going back into the oven to meld together. A silky pan sauce made from the reduced braising liquid and heavy cream ties it all together, making this one of those recipes that feels restaurant-worthy without being out of reach.
