LOW-FAT JALAPENO GARLIC TILAPIA



Low-Fat Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia image

I have posted the origional Recipe for Johnny Carino's Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia, which we love. But, if you look at the fat content, it's pretty frightful. I came up with a lower fat, healthier version so I can have my fish and eat it too.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKEN PASTA (LIKE CARINO'S)



Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta (Like Carino's) image

This is my FAVORITE dish at Johnny Carino's in my town and this is my rendition of the recipe. My husband says it tastes exactly like theirs. I have played around with how much cayenne pepper to put in this dish because the recipe I found originally just said "to taste". For me, one teaspoon is too mild, but two teaspoons is pretty spicy. I'd put some in and do a taste test before you add more. The original recipe was in Denver's Rocky Mountain News, but I have modified it to our tastes, including leaving out the green onion and increasing the amount of the sauce. Also, the original recipe said it served 4, but we have no problem getting 6-8 servings of this. I serve it with a tossed salad and my Recipe #281657.

I love this dish from Ruby's. They told me what was in it, but not the measurements, so I made this up. I like it, and my husband likes it more than the original. Let me know if you have any tips to make it better!

1 (15 ounce) jar alfredo sauce (I used Classico 4 Cheese)

6 ounces baby shrimp

Steps:

  • Put sauce into sauce pan and add shredded cheese.
  • Stir until all the cheese is melted.
  • Add shrimp and stir until warm.
  • Add pico de gallo just before serving.
  • The shrimp and pico de gallo really add a lot of moisture, but if it is too thick, add a little milk, half & half or heavy cream.
  • If you don't have pico de gallo, finely diced tomatoes and onions can be used instead.

COBLY OR MONTERAY JACK FONDUE



Cobly or Monteray Jack Fondue image

Most classic fondue recipes use Swiss or Swiss and Gruyere cheese. Not all cheese made good fondues and will separate into two layers of cheese and wine, or are too runny to be used. This recipe has been modified to work with Colby or Monterey Jack neither of which work well in the classic fondue recipe.

  • Pour in wine and lemon juice. Warm until bubbles rise to the surface. Do not cover or boil.
  • Remember to stir constantly from now one. Add a handful of cheeses, keeping the heat medium (do not boil), when melted add another handful. After all the cheese is melted and bubbling add a dash of nutmeg and pepper. Transfer to fondue pot and keep warm over fondue burner.
  • Note: If fondue becomes too thick add a bit of warmed wine. If it separates combine 1 T cornstarch and 2 T wine and stir into fondue.
