Top 6 Caribbean Delicacies
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
Daniel Fleming asked:
The Caribbean Islands are famous for their food and drink. Anyone who has tasted Caribbean food would swear that there is something spectacular about it. Let’s look at some of the most popular Caribbean food and drink.
Sweet Fungi
This is a delicious vegetarian soup dish made from raisin, sugar, butter and cornmeal.
It is quite popular in several parts of the Jamaican Islands and there are some restaurants which specialize in its preparation.
Pina Colada
Any cocktail drinker will be familiar with this drink. Coconut milk, pineapple juice and rum are the main ingredients and the flavor is mind blowing when mixed right.
Codfish Cakes
This Caribbean fish delicacy is made by dipping cod fish in a spicy mix of onions, peppers, annotta oil and flour. Fish cakes are well relished in these islands and there are various sauces available at Caribbean Food stores which you can use directly to cook the fish.
Jerk Chicken
This ever popular Jamaican dish gets its name from the use of jerk sauce in the preparation of chicken. Whole chicken or chicken breast are grilled or barbequed after they are marinated in jerk sauce for over 12 hours. The spicy flavor is worth tasting.
Caribbean Sweet Potato Salad
Herbs like cilantro, garlic, ginger, peppers are mixed with mustard, canola oil, black pepper. This paste is then used as a base to cook sweet potatoes and russet potatoes with corn. The result is a mouth watering salad Caribbean style.
Seafood Enchiladas
These Enchiladas made from a Caribbean recipe using a mix of cheese, cream, butter, parsley, garlic and onion as the base. Crab meat and shrimp is cooked with the base and severed as tortillas.

A Favorite Recipe- Scampi Shrimp In A Luscious Butter Sauce
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009
Diane Watkins asked:
This recipe, shrimp scampi is a popular dish in restaurants, but did you know that it is quick and easy to make at home as well? We southerners love our shrimp and shrimp scampi is one of the best. Shrimp served with a white wine and garlic butter sauce, what could be better? There are many variations of shrimp scampi, served alone, or often over pasta. This can be eaten either way.
The shrimp can be cooked in the butter if desired, rather than boiling it, if you prefer. The key to good shrimp, as with all seafood, is not to over cook it. Shrimp is done when it turns pink. This is very quick. Longer cooking times just toughen the shrimp. This is especially important in this recipe, because you will be heating the shrimp again in the sauce at the end.
Shrimp Scampi
1 pound medium shrimp
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup chopped chives
3 Tablespoons garlic, minced -more or less to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 Tablespoons parsley, snipped
1/4 cup dry white wine (or water)
Parmesan cheese, optional
Lemon wedges for garnish, optional
Bring a pan of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat. The shrimp is done when it turns pink. Do not over cook. Devein and shell the shrimp. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Saute the onion and chives. Add the garlic, stir fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the pepper, seasoning salt and parsley. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine, whisk, and return the shrimp to the pan to reheat. Serve over spaghetti or linguine, or alone. Top with parmesan cheese if desired. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
Try this recipe- scampi shrimp will soon be one of your favorites. It is quick and easy, even for a busy night.
