Seafood Stir Fry

This dish is easy to prepare. You will need to peel and devein the shrimp. You may remove the tail before you cook it but I find that in the end leaving the tails on made the dish look even more enticing and exotic. It’s all up to you how you like your shrimp. I also think that the shrimp taste best when it is marinated in some minced garlic, green seasoning, and pepper flakes.

The Savory Delight of Saltfish Accra: A Caribbean Classic

The first time I ate saltfish accra I thought that it was a brilliant method to cook saltfish. I was, and still am, amazed with the combination and its unique taste. I still think it should not be classified as an appetizer though – after all, I have willfully eaten about five of those little gems on one occasion and felt satisfied. If you feel you’re up to it to beat my five, go right ahead! =^)

Although we are in the Christmas season celebrating, with all the meat dishes like pastelles and baked ham etc. , I feel that a day or two during the week could be meatless or limited in the amount of meat, so that the body could recover from all the food from the staff parties and dinners and limes that you attend
