Shrimp Dynamite

 Have you heard of  Coubiliac ? The trick about it is that it needs to show the 6 distinct layers of the filing. And no air pockets allowed. We saw that enroute to  Dynamite Shrimp  recipe. I liked this  Air fryer  recipe. From this for small shrimp, the time chosen on one side was 6 min and 3 or 4 on the otherside in the Shaq air fryer.  I used the frozen shrimp from Costco which happens to be from Thailand.

My friends who know if shrimp is cooked or not were happy with the juicy...

In this diet conscious world, after having seen a couple of cookbooks with calorie and nutrition information on the side, a non-diet book pales. I see it as a big trend - diet cookbooks and nutrition info specified books. Earlier dietbooks would have meant restricted, bland food but with new technology, the food can now meet the gastronomic flair and sense and make it easy to stick to your chosen diet with ease and variety. Chicken Nuggets with coconut flour. Now you dont need to frequent fast food for kids favorites and control the amount of salt in it. Some of the recipes use unflavored whey protein powder. Cauliflower Mac & Cheese sounds yummy. Creme Brulee, if you didnt get a chance to buy the torch. Get friendly with almond flour and coconut flour and have a wonderful healthy cooking advenure.

Tofu Fries. Roasted vegetable Hummus. I never thought about how baklavas are made. Having seen the layered stuffed circles, this presentation with lattice cuts of the whole pie like makes sense and is a different look.
