A Life in Food by real-life Chef Cheryl Bennett
Grilled shrimp skewers are the perfect summer dinner. They are quick, easy, and always a crowd-pleaser. Serve with mango lime quinoa for a light and delicious meal.
I love dinners like this. It is a no-fuss meal that is full of flavor and ready in just over 30 minutes. Most of that time is hands-off, while the shrimp is marinating, making this a perfect lazy supper.
…Thai Curry Shrimp with Coconut and Sweet Potato Noodles is a dish that is packed with flavor. It’s quick, easy and done in about 30 minutes, which means it is perfect for busy weeknights. Getting dinner on the table in less than a half hour has never been so delicious.
The sweet potato noodles cook while you whisk a few ingredients together. Everything goes in the same pan, so there is minimal cleanup. This Thai Red Curry Shrimp with Coconut Milk is an impressive one pot meal that is perfect for a weeknight meal.

Gambas al ajillo make an excellent party appetizer or light dinner. Garlicky shrimp with crushed red pepper and parsley is a classic Spanish appetizer. Served with a crisp white wine, it makes an excellent addition to a tapas party, as do Spanish-style marinated olives and tortilla española.
Whether you are serving this as an appetizer for a fancy New Year’s Eve party, or as a nibble for a summer BBQ with a glass of wine, this Spanish garlic shrimp recipe is great for any occasion.
You can increase the portion and have it for a light dinner with a piece of crusty bread for soaking up all the delicious juices.

Dinner Divas is back! Can you believe it’s already the second week of June?! I can not. The weeks are FLYING by and I feel like I need to press “pause” so I can catch up. Although it isn’t officially summer, it is in full swing here. Summer in Florida means rain and lots of it. I can’t complain though, because it’s better than three feet of snow in January.

Recently I posed a question on the Facebook page asking what people wanted to see and one of the requests was “a meal that can be made in about 30 minutes, when I get home from work”. I get it, life is crazy busy and the last thing most people (most sane people) want to do after coming home from work is stand in front of a stove for any length of time.
This is a meal I made for a client of mine and it took well under 30 minutes to make, she loved it and requested I make it again. I probably need to get in the habit of sharing what I cook for clients…
