INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’re looking for tacos that actually hit to spot, this is the one. Smoky, spicy shrimp caramelized in a honey mustard butter glaze, crisp cabbage slaw tossed with fresh passionfruit and lime, all tucked into warm tortillas. It’s the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and freshness. This is not your basic taco night, this is tropical and vibrant.

How to serve
These tacos are best served fresh, straight off the pan, while the shrimp are still warm and juicy. A chilled margarita or a sparkling lime soda? Absolute game-changer. And if you’re feeling extra, a drizzle of extra honey mustard glaze over the top seals the deal. Tacos this good deserve to be the main event.

How to store
Shrimp are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat gently in a pan to keep them from drying out. The slaw can last a day, but keep the dressing separate until serving.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’ve ever wished your food had that little extra something, this crunchy, garlicky, nutty magic – this is the answer. Inspired by the iconic everything bagel topping, this homemade blend is an absolute game-changer. Sprinkle it on avo toast, eggs, cottage cheese, or even a basic buttered bread slice – it instantly upgrades anything. And the best part? You can whip it up in minutes with pantry staples.

How to serve
This seasoning is the ultimate finishing touch for pretty much everything. Stir it into cream cheese for an instant dip, sprinkle it over popcorn for a salty-savory snack, or coat roasted veggies in olive oil and this mix before baking for an unreal crunch. It’s also a next-level game-changer for grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, and even fried rice.

How to store
Keep your seasoning blend fresh by storing it in an airtight jar in a cool, dry spot. It stays crunchy and flavorful for up to six months (if you don’t use it all before then). A quick shake before each use keeps the flavors evenly distributed.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • pan
  • spatula
  • cooling rack
  • piping bag (optional)
  • kitchen knife
  • cutting board


Ingredients

Units Scale

BATTER

  • 90 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 125 milliliter buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • oil for frying

RICOTTA CREAM

  • 250 grams ricotta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste

BLINI TOPPING 1

  • walnuts
  • shallot
  • oil for frying
  • honey
  • chili oil
  • fresh thyme
  • red pepper flakes

BLINI TOPPING 2

  • fresh fig
  • gorgonzola
  • truffle oil
  • chives
  • black pepper

BLINI TOPPING 3

  • cooked salmon
  • red onion
  • capers
  • olive oil
  • fresh dill
  • black pepper

BLINI TOPPING 4

  • pastrami
  • cornichons
  • walnut oil
  • fresh parsley

BLINI TOPPING 5

  • radishes
  • cress
  • basil oil

Instructions

  1. First, we’re making the blini batter. Mix all the ingredients together until smooth, then let it chill for like 5-10 minutes. Once the batter’s had its lil rest, heat up a pan with a bit of oil or butter and spoon in small circles of batter. I usually use 3/4 of a tablespoon. Here’s the pro tip: when you see those cute little holes popping up on the surface, it’s time to flip them. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they’re golden and gorgeous. Boom, your blinis are born. Pop them on a cooling rack to chill out – no soggy bottoms here.
  2. Grab a bowl and mix the ricotta cream. For this, stir together ricotta, olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper until it’s smooth and creamy. Then load it into a piping bag if you’re feeling fancy, or just keep a spoon handy for the easy aesthetic.
  3. Once your blinis are cool, dollop or pipe some ricotta cream onto each one. Get creative – a little swirl, a casual blob, whatever your heart desires. Now they’re ready for toppings.
  4. For Blini topping 1, toast the walnuts in a pan without adding additional fat. Take them out and let them cool. Thinly slice the shallots into delicate rings and fry them in a bit of oil until crispy. Set aside to cool. Add half a walnut onto the blini, as well as about 1 tsp of the crispy onions. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of pink peppercorns. Toss on a few fresh thyme leaves and finish with a few drops of chili oil for a spicy kick that ties it all together.
  5. For Blini topping 2, slice fresh figs into eighths. Place one fig wedge on the ricotta cream, then crumble some blue cheese on the other side – as much or as little as your vibe calls for. Add a few drops of truffle oil, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and garnish with a touch of chopped chives to seal the deal.
  6. For Blini topping 3, flake some cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and nestle it onto the ricotta cream. Slice red onions into thin strips, then scatter a few pieces on top along with some capers. Add a few drops of olive oil, a grind of fresh black pepper, and finish with a couple of dill sprigs.
  7. For Blini topping 4, tear thin slices of pastrami into strips, roll them into little spirals, and press them onto the ricotta. Diagonally halve some cornichons and place one half on the blini. Drizzle a few drops of walnut oil for a rich, nutty twist. Top it all off with a sprig of fresh parsley for a classy finishing touch.
  8. For Blini topping 5, thinly slice radishes into delicate rounds and place two slices on one side of the blini. On the other side, gently press on a little bunch of radish cress for that pop of green. Finish with a few drops of basil oil for a fresh, herbaceous flair.
  9. Serve these cute appetizers on a platter and watch them disappear in seconds.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

This dish is like a hug in a bowl – a refreshing and vibrant mix of flavors that will take your taste buds on a little adventure. Perfect for when you’re craving something light yet satisfying, this bowl is loaded with fresh veggies like juicy mango, crisp red cabbage, and tender edamame, all sitting on a bed of fluffy rice. And the kicker? A drizzle of spicy mayo sauce that ties everything together with just the right amount of heat.

How to serve
To serve, grab a big, beautiful bowl and start with a generous layer of rice. Arrange the colorful veggies on top – think creamy avocado, bright mango, and that gorgeous purple cabbage. Lay your protein of choice (like tender salmon) over the top, and then drizzle on the spicy mayo sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a little wakame salad for that extra touch. Serve it chilled and watch your guests (or yourself) light up with every bite!

How to store
Got leftovers? Store each component separately in airtight containers to keep everything fresh. The rice and veggies will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Just keep the sauce in a small jar and give it a good shake before using it again. It’s best not to store thawed raw salmon. If you can’t finish it, cook it and enjoy it the next day or later the same day.

Instructions

PREPARATIONS
This dish is made with my Jalapeño Oil. If you want to replace it, you can use olive oil instead and for the pulp in the cilantro-yogurt sauce, use 1-2 fresh jalapeños + 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, add cumin, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cayenne, and Cajun seasoning. Finely chop half of a fresh chili and add it to the spices. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of Jalapeño Oil and the juice of half a lime, and mix everything into a creamy paste. Wash the shrimp, pat dry, and place in a bowl. Add the creamy marinade and mix well to evenly coat all the shrimp. Set aside at room temperature.
  2. Wash and let your rice cook according to the package instructions.
  3. Meanwhile, in a tall container, blend yogurt, the pulp from making the Jalapeño Oil, 1-2 peeled garlic cloves, cilantro, parsley, salt, and pepper with an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Next, peel the mango, avocado, and red onion. Chop everything into small pieces and put in a medium bowl. Mix with the juice of half a lime and a little salt, and set aside.
  5. Wash and pat dry the mung bean sprouts and set aside.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of Jalapeño Oil in a frying pan and add the shrimp along with the remaining marinade. Briefly fry the shrimp on both sides and let the sauce reduce at the same time.
  7. In a deep bowl, distribute the rice, place mung bean sprouts on one side and the mango-avocado salad on the other. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the green cilantro-yogurt sauce to the sprouts, then lay the shrimp on top and drizzle with the sauce from the pan. You can also top it off with fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, and fresh chili.
