Summary: Quick Recipes for Favorite Seafood
Comment: Flash-frozen shrimp is a staple in my freezer pantry because I can use it for a fast family meal or for a snack for drop-in guests. I wanted to try some new recipes, so I bought "Simply Shrimp" by Rick Rodgers. This high quality paperback combines the basics, such as choosing shrimp by type (warmwater,coldwater, freshwater, wild-caught, farm-raised, fresh, frozen), by size (cocktail pinks to super-colossal), and preparation (peeling, deveining, and brining), with simple recipes for shrimp stock and cooked shrimp. I discovered that this favorite seafood is not only low in fat, but, according to the cited recent Rockefeller University study, shrimp is also a heart-smart food because eating it increases the good HDL cholesterol, with no increase in the bad LDL cholesterol. This study's shrimp diet also showed lowered triglyceride levels.

So far, I like these recipes: "Scandinavian Vodka-Soused Shrimp"; "Grilled Shrimp Caesar Salad"; "Sichuan Shrimp with Cashews"; "Buttermilk Biscuits with Low Country Shrimp and Ham"; "Shrimp Diane"; "Grilled Shrimp a la Plancha with Romesco Sauce"; "Shrimp Peacemaker Sandwich." As well, the "Shrimp on Pasta and Rice" recipes I have tried are quite good. The section on grilling shrimp has seven marinade recipes. Also included are recipes for Shrimp Boil Spices and Chesapeake Bay Seasoning. The strength of this shrimp cookbook is the entrées, which are easy-to-make and delicious. However, I wish there were more appetizer and salad recipes, along with more color pictures. "Simply Shrimp" is a good cookbook for taking along on a trip or vacation where cooking will be involved.

Summary: Mouthwatering recipes in a beautifully compiled cookbook
Comment: I recieved this cookbook as a gift for Christmas and I know already that it's going to be one of my favourites. All of the recipes sound delicious and most use ingredients that you're likely to have on hand. The Spanish Shrimp with Red Peppers and Garlic sauce was superb as well as fast and easy to make. We're going to try at one recipe a week from this gem of a book!

Summary: Great recipes, Handsome book, good gift
Comment: This is an attractive book with mouth-watering recipes for shrimp-lovers of all types. It will certainly give you many menu ideas, from New Orleans Shrimp Ramoulade, to oriental coconut shrimp, to the elegant "Martini Shrimp Cocktail" pictured on the cover. I have enjoyed my copy so much that I have bought additional copies as gifts. Enjoy! Bon Apetit!
