YES, YOU CAN.......MICROWAVE AND STEAM SHRIMP - LONGMEADOW FARM



Yes, You Can.......microwave and Steam Shrimp - Longmeadow Farm image

You are never too old to learn new tricks. Sometimes I must appear as a gentle dog, I go along thinking that I can and will do some recipes that same ol' way, day after day, week after week. You know, you've probably been there yourself. One recent holiday, the statement turned out to be the truest statement that I have come to know. Well one of many true statements I have come to know....anyway, jumping back into the story.....I was buzzing along like a honey bee running back to the old bee hive stuck up inside the old shed, and blow me down with a piece of paper towel, I forgot to steam the shrimp! Our guests would soon be arriving, and they expected.....well....food. And lots of it too. All four burners were covered with various foods whistling away, and the oven was packed up like the attic after Christmas. I had 2 pounds of fresh shrimp that I had purchased the day before to be made....today! Was wondering for a moment what I should do. I could sit on them as a mother hen who is warming the underside her great berth, or, I could use the microwave. Nah. No. Nada. Not gonna do this. I don't want the shrimp to be like an old farm tire that has lost its usefulness. Ok. well, I'll try it. Holy confetti. Jumping Joe Flat. It worked! Euphoria set upon the house that stood on Longmeadow Farm and people started smacking their lips, yelping, and a joyous uproar could be heard from the house that special Holiday eve. Now, don't go saying you can't microwave shrimp, cause this might make you change your mind.

THE CANNELLINI BEAN MARRIES THE PINK SHRIMP - LONGMEADOW FARM



The Cannellini Bean Marries the Pink Shrimp - Longmeadow Farm image

These smart little shrimp marry with the cannelloni bean to produce a delicate, but simply the most tummy pleasant quick pick me up you might ever want. As the North wind starts biting into us during the winter, I just pop this little dandy into a pot and saute' together. Delightfully fun to bubble away in your pot, adding each layers, and building on a power taste that gives you incline to sip right off the wooden spoon. I use fresh basil, which, melts down to a nice mixture, coupling with the warmed tomatoes, chilies, and lemon bring the dish right around the mountain top. This will give you some kick in your step, a whistle in you whistle, and make the dogs come home. Enjoy with a warm glass of Apple Cider and you will have a marriage made in heaven too.

Steps:

Put the white beans in a large skillet with just enough of their liquid to moisten them. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring the beans to a low simmer. Keep them warm while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and cook for about 1 minute, tossing frequently. Remove the shrimp with tongs to a bowl.

  • Add seasoning ingredients, including pancetta.
  • Add the Serrano Chile or chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and basil and stir briefly, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, (the tomatoes will be warmed, the basil and seasonings will be married together).
  • Stir in the shrimp.
  • Toss well and cook briefly to reheat the shrimp. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Spoon the white beans on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle them with the best olive oil you have, and then top with the shrimp/tomato mixture (you use as much as you want.
  • Some people just take the shrimp out of the tomato mixture and sit them proudly on top of the beans, or some people like to float the beans, shrimp, and tomato mixture in a bowl.
  • You decide, but devour piping hot!
  • Oh yes, and let those dogs inside, they will be wanting to lick your plate clean.

CATHERINE ANN'S ENTICING TUNA SALAD - THE LONGMEADOW FARM



Catherine Ann's Enticing Tuna Salad - the Longmeadow Farm image

This recipe was saved from many years ago (35) when my then future MIL and I would enjoy a cool, refreshing "time-out" on her screened in porch. Never finding tuna in a can" or a tuna from "anywhere" to be especially great tasting, particularly to my immature palette (I was probably 19 yers.old) I would hem and haw about how I was already full, wasn't hungry, etc...etc...until one day, I thought I would take the plunge and just eat it. And it was as delightful as promised. Maybe it was the time spent with this woman that had such an impact on my life, maybe it was the summer breeze softly making the wind chimes "tinkle" in the distance, either way, I have loved this method of making this simple sandwich ever since. So with great fondness for a great woman, I present to you, the reader, Catherine-Anne's simply lovely tuna salad.

GLAZING YOUR CHICKEN WITH JAM AND BALSAMIC - LONGMEADOW FARM



Glazing Your Chicken With Jam and Balsamic - Longmeadow Farm image

After a glumpie Sunday afternoon, where the remaining leaves precariously fell from the dormant trees, a cool mist had settled in the valley below, the world appeared to me; to have hibernated, here on the farm. I pondered what I might do to enhance the palette and stomachs of everyone who graced our table that evening. Normally, we have a casual get together, the "boys" come over, my Dad ambles over from his house, and the cattle were sleeping peacefully, all rejoicing the cool mist after the hot summer we had just completed. I decided to try something a bit different from my usual fare. Quietly tucked away in the back of the cabinet I found some apricot jam, along with the last bit of some balsamic vinegar. You and I both know, there are a sundry of chicken and balsamic ......out there. I said, "What the hay...." added some fresh thyme, let's see what happens? Melted the jam, vinegar, roast the chicken breasts, baste the jam glaze on top of chicken. What could be easier? I guess just roasting the chicken breasts with nothing, would be easier. That night we sat, enjoyed the company, the laughs from the weekend, the new calf stories, and our family. I hope you feel the same, enjoy whomever your company is, or just enjoy the quietness of alone time, where ever you are, have a good night, and replenish your palette and your soul as well.

TANGIER ISLAND - BAKED HOT CRAB, A LA MARYLAND - LONGMEADOW FARM



Tangier Island - Baked Hot Crab, a La Maryland - Longmeadow Farm image

This recipe comes from Tangier Island, in Southern Maryland/Virginia, a serene little island at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, actually part of Virginia. When you arrive on the dock at Tangier, you are received on the dock to wonder about this fishing/crabing/oystering town. Along the walkways, and small streets, women type out their recipes, handed down from generation to generation and place them on a plywood board in plastic bags. I picked this recipe in a little packet, wrapped carefully in plastic wrap, typed on an old typewriter and have loved this little recipe ever since. The cost for these simple 6 hand-typed recipes were $1.00 and was self serve. This recipe is a part of a culture that has stood the test of time, and the folks that live within this island remain steadfast in tradition. Basically, Tangier Island represents what should be a prosperous, but simple way of living, bringing oysters and crabs to the people of Maryland and Virginia. This recipe speaks of this island when life took a breath and enjoyed the riches, and bountiful crustations of our beautiful Chesapeake Bay. When I prepare this recipe, I will always be reminded of this wonderful place and a wonderful time. Serve on crackers, or crusty warmed bread. *Note* this recipe is not a *dip*. As a previous reviewer noted, this compares more to baked crab, a la Maryland. In Maryland we serve baked crab/crab cake sometimes on bread/crackers. I hope you enjoy this simple but historical taste of Maryland, and if not, then send it over here to Longmeadow Farm...we will be glad to devour it with gusto!! Really, enjoy.
