NUT CRUST
If you have a recipe that calls for a graham-cracker crust, and you don't have the ingredients to make one or just want to try something that's not only simpler but much tastier--try this. Straight from Joy of Cooking, I found this recipe when I made Million Dollar Pie because I didn't feel like crushing graham crackers. It's simple and to die for and requires zero baking. My personal preference is pecans, but you may use walnuts or what the heck--try any nut out for size.

After 4 minutes add the sherry and flame. Stir in the fresh butter and drizzle in the lemon juice. Pipe the creamed potatoes around the rim of the scallop shells and pour the shrimp into the center of the shells. Garnish each with a sprig of parsley and a dusting of paprika.
SHRIMP WITH MACADAMIA NUT CRUST
These are delicious. Had them at a wedding and they were served on sweet potato latkes. Absolutely wonderful. You can also serve them with any fruit salad or cole slaw containing coconut.
