Jerk shrimp and fresh fruit salad

I can't think of anything more inviting right now than shrimp in a cast-iron skillet on the stove top, except for maybe shrimp marinated in Jerk sauce. Yes, the Jamaican delight with scotch-bonnet peppers, usually served with chicken. 

It started out I had some guacamole to use up, and that led to shrimp. Which led to roasted shrimp. Which made me think of the cast-iron skillet. Leftover rice. Made me think of a salad. And yes I have blueberries. And it all come together in under 20 minutes.
Altogether magnifique! 

🍜 Gnocchi, salmon and peas

I have some already cooked salmon leftover from yesterday and a ready bag of gnocchi sitting on the counter saying pick me. There are peas in the freezer and a lemon in the fruit bowl. Let's see what happens here... I didn't really feel like Parmesan cheese today so substituted Feta. Can't go wrong there ;)

Once you have experienced homemade broth it's so difficult to go back. It's hard to believe that I once thought a teaspoon of flavour mix added to a cup of boiling water was even a thing. All that salt? Don't get me started!

The Culinary Evolution of Raita in Pre-Colonial South Asia

Two fer seafood

I have two pounds of frozen chowder mix: haddock, scallops, and shrimp. Each ingredient is in it's own bag so in theory I don't have to defrost all three today. But doesn't a full seafood and fish chowder sound absolutely wonderful as the autumn wanes to winter?
