Spot prawns are bigger than the largest jumbo shrimp. Their shell are a beautiful pinkish-red. Some fish markets sell the prawns with their heads on; however, my fish monger takes the heads off right before selling them. Spot prawns have a buttery, sweet flavor, almost like East Coast lobster, and a lovely firm texture. They are not inexpensive, but at this time of year I can't resist splurging at least a couple of times during the course of prawn season.

What's better than a shrimp cocktail? And with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce you have one heck of a new take on the classic!

There are many Indian finger foods that are great for parties. One of my favorites is this simple recipe for Momo, little shrimp or chicken dumplings that have drifted down into the Darjeeling area of India from Nepal.

We make this all the time, especially in spring and summer, for a refreshing lunch or dinner. Peruvians serve this dish with corn-on-the-cob and boiled, sliced sweet potatoes, with a little of the juice poured over them--truly delicious! The sauce is called 'leche de tigre' (tiger's milk) in Spanish, because of the heat (rocoto peppers are VERY hot and spicy), and said to be an Aphrodisiac! The fish may seem raw when you read the recipe--be assured, it is not. The lime juice pickles the fish, turning it from clear to white, just as if it were heated, but keeps the light, fresh flavor of whatever fish (and/or shrimp) you use. Even friends and family who avoid any kind of sushi will approve of the fine flavor!

While I usually serve this as a starter, it really is a meal in itself. Who doesn't love melty cheese and succulent shrimp?

this salad is lightning fast to put together and looks beautiful and tastes delicious – what more could you want?
