We love making shrimp cakes as a full dinner—they're a lot cheaper than crab cakes and work with a good variety of flavor combinations. Here we miniaturize them down to party-appetizer size, combine them with Thai seasonings, and serve with a tangy chili dip.
Strips of round steak and chopped scallions are marinated with soy sauce and garlic, then quickly stir-fried with sesame seeds. Add a little sesame oil to the marinade if you like that flavor.
Boneless pork loin chops, marinated in a tangy sweet-and-savory marinade with a hint of spice, grill up all moist and browned for a delightful grilled supper for two.
Pork chops are coated with seasoned Italian crumbs and baked with an easy mushroom and wine sauce for for a nice weeknight dinner that practically takes care of itself.
So fast and easy to prepare, these shrimp are bound to be the hit of the barbeque. And, weather not permitting, they work great under the broiler, too.
