Boo’s Bar-B-Que Shrimp

May 11

Boo started cooking in 1970 when she rented her first apartment in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Surround by the sights and sounds of the city, one of the first recipes she picked up was this barbecue shrimp from her sister. It’s a great way to prepare shellfish (use fresh prawns) and a New Orleans favourite. Strangely enough, it doesn’t involve a barbecue at all!

Croatian Fish Stew

July 18

I can never understand when people say the don’t like seafood. I absolutely love it and wish more people would give it a chance, especially with the abundance of world class fish available in Ireland. This fish stew is something I had in Croatia but can absolutely be replicated at home.
