    Feast of the Seven Fishes {Christmas Eve Tradition}

    December 24, 2014 / No Comments

    Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner.  I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived.  I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

    Crispy Fried Shrimp {six ways}

    August 20, 2014 / 1 Comment

    As a kid who grew up eating frozen fish sticks at least once a week, and loving them I might add….imagine my delight when I was introduced to frozen battered shrimp.  Oh my word.  What a treat.  Well….that was then, and these from scratch Crispy Fried Shrimp are definitely NOW.

    Buffalo Shrimp

    August 19, 2014 / 3 Comments

    We were gifted 7 pounds of fresh-off-the-boat Georgia shrimp a month or two back (thanks to my mom & dad in-law).  I froze them in one pound packs so they would thaw quickly when we had a shrimp hankering.  On this particular day, I couldn’t get enough of these Buffalo Shrimp.  They were too tasty not to share.

    Spicy Shrimp & Spinach Quesadilla.  Sometimes you have a dish at a restaurant that needs to be recreated.  Typically it’s because that dish becomes engrained on your taste buds…..in a good way.

    Ceviche {with Halibut, Scallops & Shrimp}

    May 31, 2014 / 3 Comments

    We celebrated Shelby’s birthday last evening.  When I asked her what she’d like for dinner she said “one of your amazing Ribeye steaks.”  To which I gladly obliged.  I wanted to come up with a fun and light appetizer to start us off.  I remembered a time when Shelby and I met for lunch at a Mexican restaurant in town.  As soon as we sat down she said “you’ve got to try their Ceviche.”  I had no idea she shared my love for this chilled seafood salad.

    Before I talk about this wonderful Lemon Basil Shrimp & Pasta dish, I must confess I’ve been keeping something from you.  I wasn’t sure when it would be the right time to tell you.  So I waited until I was sure we were in the clear.  It is with great pride and joy that I share the news.

About Libby

Hi, I'm Libby and welcome to Lemony Thyme. I hope you'll enjoy this collection of recipes, eating experiences, and food photography. My cooking abilities rose to a new level when I started incorporating fresh herbs. I began to understand the term ‘layers of flavor’ and found myself deconstructing dishes with my tongue to identify each ingredient.
