Massaman Shrimp – a Thai Recipe
I recently received the latest edition of one of my favorite magazines, Bon Appetit. They featured a section for “Thai Night”, and I am admittedly not very experienced with Thai cooking. How ridiculous! After experimenting with their Massaman Chicken recipe, I am hooked on this particular recipe. I adapted it to my own liking, using shrimp instead of chicken, noodles instead of rice, and I incorporated a couple of Serrano and Thai chili peppers into the mix for heat and flavor. I will certainly be making this dish in the near future.

Kaleidoscope-Jalapeno Vinaigrette
Hanging out near the coast recently and we picked up a couple of fresh cod fillets for dinner. Cod is a very flaky fish, though not heavy on the flavor. It is quite mild. I’ve seen it fried in many dishes, but I prefer to not fry my food, so I brought out the flavor with a fresh and tangy vinaigrette that incorporates jalapeno peppers and an interesting little pepper I have never heard of before – the Kaleidoscope Chili Pepper. This pepper was sent to me from a chili pepper grower I know , Jim Duffy.
