Clams Casino Dip

Clams Casino Dip. The retro hors d’ouerve is transformed into a creamy, easy-to-make dip complete with a bacon-panko topping.  This recipe for Clams Casino Dip was also featured on Serious Eats. Clams Casino– the flavorful, open-faced clams with bacon-spiked breadcrumbs– is a dish I’ve spent almost all of my life eating. My dad always ordered…

Hot Cajun Crab Dip

Call me a bad influence if you must, but I’m going to distract you all from your kale for a second and present you with this flavor-packed, melty, decadent crab dip.  Reasons that I don’t feel bad about eating all of the leftover Hot Cajun Crab Dip yesterday: I went on a 5 mile walk…

Seafood Fra Diavolo

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HuntsHasHeart #CollectiveBias In the typical sigh-inducing retail fashion, there’s been Valentine’s Day decorations out at the drugstore since right after Christmas. Heart-shaped candy boxes, heart plush toys, and heart-covered wrapping paper abound. There are obnoxious pink and red glittery hearts…

Creole Crab-Stuffed Deviled Eggs

These Creole Crab-Stuffed Deviled Eggs just changed the game. But just for one second, let’s forget that you ever heard about these, and the game is as it was. What’s the first thing you think of when you hear “deviled eggs”? Is it some elderly-aged get-together with a table full of mayonnaise-laced, retro recipes? It’s not…

20 Minute Sweet & Sticky Caribbean Shrimp

I’m in complete and utter denial that we’ve returned to this time of year. Not because of the holidays (I happen to like those), but because I need to smother myself in 68 layers of sweater material to somewhat-comfortably waddle my way to the mailbox. We’re talking the type of outfits that would rival Randy’s from…

Creamy Lemon Butter Shrimp Pasta with Spinach and Caramelized Garlic

I’ve been seeing drunk food all over facebook lately– the stuff you make when you’ve had a lot to drink and suddenly you are Gordon Ramsey, nay, Alain Ducasse, nay, not even a Picasso of food could rival your superhuman creative flair in the kitchen. It’s revolutionary. It’s avante-garde. It… usually features heavy use of the microwave.

Smoky Shrimp Pasta Salad with Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette

This Smoky Shrimp Pasta Salad with Chipotle Dressing is about to make a lot of people reaaaal popular this summer.

Pad Thai Potstickers

How do you make Pad Thai even better? Put it in a potsticker. Pad Thai is a street vendor style noodle dish from (you guessed it!) Thailand. Rice noodles are stir fried along with eggs, tofu, and often shrimp or chicken, and then it all gets a kick of flavor from tamarind and fish sauce….

Cajun Shrimp Dip

A few months ago, on the Host the Toast facebook page, I asked people what their favorite recipes on the web were.  I got some great responses from people telling me about “Chocolate Lasagna” and “Banana French Toast Cupcakes” and other things that are making me too hungry to think about on a Monday morning. Then,…

Mango Chile Glazed Shrimp

After an hour of blow-drying and flat-ironing, I’ve got Medusa-head going on within 30 seconds of walking outside.  I can feel that August is just around the corner– that glorious month of hair-ruining humidity. Yes, August, when we finally come to terms with the fact that we never prepared for swimsuit season.  Even well into swimsuit season, we…

Blackened Fish Tacos with Avocado-Cilantro Sauce

I come from a family of avid taco lovers.  We eat tacos of some sort at least twice a week (in fact, we had tacos last night), and every single week, when I ask my brother what I should make for the blog, he tells me to make tacos.   The only thing that rivals my…

Cilantro-Garlic-Lime Seafood Packets

It’s been a few years since I first made these Cilantro-Garlic-Lime Seafood Packets (or “The BOMB” Packets, as we like to call ’em around here), and they are still one of my favorites. Hence the fact that we call them “the bomb”. But more on that in a second. The Cilantro-Garlic-Lime Seafood Packets are loaded…

Cheesy Crab and Artichoke Dip

Even before this dip was ready, I was hovering by the oven, mouth watering, impatiently waiting to dig in and burn the absolute life out of my mouth.  I knew it was going to be good.  It was loaded up with cheese, lump crab meat, and artichokes.  There was no way it was going to…

Cheesy Crab Poppers

It’s Christmas Eve and I’ve got about 20 million things to get done, but I have one very important thing to do before I can go brave the cold and brace myself against the hoards of last minute shoppers– I’ve got to share this recipe with you.   I made these Cheesy Crab Poppers on…

Spicy Fried Shrimp

The first time I ever ordered Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill, I sang “She Bangs” (you know, the song by Ricky Martin– but I sang it like William Hung) for about a week.  It was a silly association, but it was so severely stuck in my head that it was driving me crazy.  I…

Shrimp Satay Skewer Shooters with Thai Spicy Peanut Sauce

On nights where I can’t be bothered to cook, I begin to really miss college. Back then, I was young, impressionable, and a budding future food-fanatic, thanks to the many competing restaurants and extreme cultural diversity in the area. There was cuisine from nearly every country– from Lebanon to Italy to Ethiopia– and despite being…
