I loved how this spicy coconut shrimp bisque recipe turned out, and I think you will, too. I hope you try it and perhaps tweak it with different combinations of seafood and garnishes.

I spent a few days in Florence about 30 years ago, and while I don't remember much, I do recall my surprise at how delicious the Tuscan fish stew was. What I found so interesting was how herbs like oregano, sage, and rosemary, which I'd only associated with meat, were also used with seafood. Also, FYI just in case any old-school Tuscans are coming over: I hear that for this to qualify as an official Italian fish stew you need use at least 5 different types of seafood, which is both insane and adorable. Serve with crusty bread.

This crab rangoon casserole, a noodle casserole with surimi in a creamy, cheesy sauce, and topped with crisp wonton chips, is as rich and delicious as your favorite crab Rangoon appetizer.

This crowd-pleasing cornbread salad with bacon, bell peppers, and corn is quite unique but tastes great!

For this white bean and tomato pasta, cannellini beans are pureed with garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to make a smooth sauce. Lightly cooked tomatoes, red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese and penne pasta complete the dish.

This delicious cowboy steak is nicely seasoned with salt and pepper, and the cowboy compound butter adds complexity and a smoky note.

This salad with hearts of palm and avocado is delicious served over lettuce, inside lettuce cups, or alongside tortilla chips as a dip.

In this Swedish meatball pasta bake, 'köttbullar', creamy gravy and bowtie noodles come together in a rich, creamy comfort dish.

This is an easy pasta dish that makes use of any leftover veggies you may have on hand. You can increase, decrease, or sub out any veggies you wish. Some excellent additions to this recipe would be bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, zucchini, cauliflower--the possibilities are endless! Do be sure to allow this to chill for several hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and really come together.

A rich and bacon-y variation of the tradition macaroni and cheese pasta dish.
