This recipe is a low-carb adaptation of Shrimp and Grits, and I have to say it worked pretty well! There are a lot of flavors here – first, in lieu of grits, a base of roasted cauliflower pureed with roasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Then we top it off with wild-caught shrimp in a spicy… Continue reading Lemon Garlic Shrimp over Cauliflower Mash

Baked Flounder with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
I grew up eating a lot of flounder – – fried. Served with fried shrimp and fried hushpuppies. (If you don’t know hushpuppies, you surely haven’t eaten at a fish shack or BBQ joint in North Carolina. I love hushpuppies – and I hope I can figure out some gluten-free way way of making them… Continue reading Baked Flounder with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
Red Curry Poached Cod
Sometimes dinner is born from what’s on special at the market – and often those dishes turn out to be the most interesting because they are unplanned and must be created from ingredients you have on hand. We try to have some type of seafood at least once a week, and this week Whole Foods… Continue reading Red Curry Poached Cod
Salmon with Roasted Peppers and Asparagus
We don’t go out to eat a lot, especially since we stopped eating grains. People give you strange looks when you request “no bread, please”, or order Chinese food without the rice. “Without the rice?” Incredulously, “Are you sure, no rice?” It seems beyond comprehension. However, last weekend we were out doing errands and decided… Continue reading Salmon with Roasted Peppers and Asparagus
Seared Tuna with Mixed Greens and Lemon-Tahini dressing
A week or so ago, I was rushed for time at lunch, so I picked up a little tray of seared tuna from the sushi station at Whole Foods and I ate it at the kitchen counter while unpacking my groceries. To paraphrase Ulysses Everett McGill in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, that small taste… Continue reading Seared Tuna with Mixed Greens and Lemon-Tahini dressing
Seared Scallops with Apple Cider-Balsamic Glaze
With this heat wave, I needed something relatively light for dinner – so off I went to the seafood counter. It just seems cooler over there, with the long display of sea creatures nestled in iced-down trays. The scallops were calling my name, all sweetness and light in their plump milky-whiteness. Ok, they didn’t really… Continue reading Seared Scallops with Apple Cider-Balsamic Glaze
Salmon with Chipotle-Lime Glaze
As we enjoyed this meal, it occurred to us that it might be the healthiest combination of food ever! Not that it really mattered, because it was quite tasty and we would have eaten every bite even it it was chock full of benzene and trans fats. Well, not really…we do try to avoid foods… Continue reading Salmon with Chipotle-Lime Glaze
Salmon with Pesto Crust
According to Marcella Hazan, noted author of many books on classic Italian cuisine, pesto is the sauce invented by the Genoese as a vehicle for the fragrance of basil, and it has just ONE role – “to be the most seductive of all sauces for pasta”. Does that mean that primal eaters have to forsake… Continue reading Salmon with Pesto Crust
Baked Crab Cakes
Adapted from: The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate Oh, who can resist crab cakes? I’ve been having a craving for them lately, but most of the crab cakes in restaurants or prepared at the supermarket have some sort of breading in them to hold them together. I found this recipe at The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate… Continue reading Baked Crab Cakes
Red Grouper with Chili Lime Glaze
This is more of a product review, perhaps, than a recipe. When I was shopping for fish, I noticed that Whole Foods had grouper that was already covered in a marinade of some type…and it looked pretty tasty. Since I wasn’t buying to cook on the same day, I asked what they used for the… Continue reading Red Grouper with Chili Lime Glaze
