Shrimp Gumbo
This is and adaptation of a recipe my sister in law gave me. It is hearty and delicious. You can make it as spicy or as mild as you like to your taste and it doesn't take long to make. Set out hot sauce for diners to season to their own liking.
Chef John's Crab-Stuffed Sole
This stuffed sole recipe turns ordinary, mild sole fillets into something remarkable. Sole is cheap and easy to find, so it's the perfect candidate for this jazzed-up crab stuffing. Serve with lemon wedges and asparagus on the side.
