Great Seafood Recipes

I love to cook. I am always on the look out for new recipes to try. I have various cooking books on just about any dish that it would have taken me a lifetime to cook them all. Still, I can't help but look for new dishes to try. Since my husband's heart attack two years ago, I have been partial to cooking low fat and low cholesterol dishes. I have more or less have more affinity to cooking seafood dishes now than before. Nothing to complain about because, honestly, I love seafood. My children do to! One of our favorites is marinara sauce with seafood - I call it garlic seafood marinara. For my pasta, I use penne. Yummy!

I constantly browse the net for seafood dishes. Good thing I stumbled on www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com where great seafood recipes are available. I am highly intrigued by the seafood dish Texas Gulf Shrimp by chef Mark Holley of Texas (of course). The dish is a meal by itself for it has protein (shrimp), carbohydrate( hominy arepas), vegetables (tomatoes and beans) and nuts (peanuts). The recipe was captioned as: Texas Gulf Shrimp over hominy cakes with heirloom tomato relish drizzled with prickly pear gastrique. The caption itself is delicious enough to eat! Cooking this recipe will not be a problem since ingredients are locally available. Maybe I'll invite some friends over and then we'll have a cook off! That would be fun! Meanwhile why don't you go check out the site for recipes and maybe even have the chance to win a trip to New Orleans.
