Firecracker Prawns
A couple of weeks ago, while at a friend's birthday party, I had an unbelievable shrimp appetizer. The shrimp was marinated in a thick sauce flavored with hoisin and orange juice. Just before serving, it was rapidly cooked in a large sauté pan.

Burning Question: Is It Really Necessary to Devein Shrimp?
If you've peeled your own shrimp (and saved the shells for stock) at home recently, you may have encountered the quandary of whether or not to devein the shrimp. While most recipes call for shrimp to be peeled and deveined (removed of its intestinal tract), there are dissenters, like our very own PartySugar, who has learned from the Spanish that it's completely unnecessary to devein shrimp.

What Would You Serve?
Entertaining at home is one of my favorite activities of all time, but as with all hobbies, it requires lots of thinking ahead and decision-making, from planning a prep schedule to coordinating the menu. In this series, I'll present a dish and ask you to share what you'd serve alongside it.

Admittedly, I used to be a very picky eater, but have learned to embrace the healthy bounty that exists, particularly in the produce aisle. A group of nutritionists was asked to round up 10 foods that aren't commonly incorporated in the diets of many Americans, but would be nutritious ways to mix things up.
Holiday Survival: Keep Track to Keep the Pounds Off
Generous pours, savory hors d'oeuvres, and sweet nibbles make it difficult to leave a holiday party knowing how much you actually consumed. The eating and drinking is drawn out through the entire night, so you may not notice when you've actually eaten enough to make a full meal. And when you have three holiday parties in one weekend, those unaccounted for calories can really add up.

Over the weekend, eight semi-finalists competed to see who would represent the United States at the Bocuse d'Or, a prestigious international culinary competition. Timothy Hollingsworth, a sous chef at the French Laundry, was selected as the winner. Hollingsworth now has three months to prepare for the French showdown in January.
Pop Watch: Brothers & Sisters, Ep 5 "Domestic Issues"
Rather than sibling relationships, episode five of Brothers & Sisters focused on parents and children. Nora's Halloween costume provided some welcome relief to a pretty tense episode — gotta love those googly eyes with the witch's hat!
Your favourite Walker siblings Kevin and Justin took a back seat this episode, as the action revolved around (1) Joe and Sarah's battle for custody of Paige and Cooper, and (2) Kitty's shock discovery brought on by a prawn pizza.
Shrimp Tips For National Shrimp Day
According to my bizarre food calendar, today is National Shrimp Day. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to talk a little about America's favorite shellfish. Most of the shrimp consumed in the United States comes from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Gulf Coast.
