Seared Salt and Pepper Ahi Tuna

The Best Seared Ahi Tuna

There are, literally, hundreds of different ways to prepare Ahi Tuna but I like mine Seasoned and Seared. That usually means that dry ingredients are applied, on all sides, to a cut of Raw Ahi Tuna then cooked and “seared” in a dry frying pan. Ingredients vary but spices generally get the best results, rarely, herbs are ever applied. But, one of the easiest ways to make this appetizer is to keep it simple and season with Kosher Salt and Black Pepper.

Ahi Tuna Dipping Sauce

The best part about this Ahi tuna recipe is that it comes with a fantastic Wasabi Vinaigrette that has a sweet Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil influence. Tell me that doesn’t sound superb! Sushi fans alike come running for this appetizer anywhere it’s served. I’ve seen similar recipes served at The Outback, Cheese Cake Factory and P.F. Chang’s even. All of which have their own unique style. I think that this one is the easiest to do and that anyone the loves tuna is going to like it.

Seared Ahi Tuna Ingredients:

Chili No Beans

Fast Food style Chili No Beans

So I got this Chili No Beans idea at Taco Bell the other day. They’re always adding crazy new stuff to their Menu and it just got me thinking. First off, their food is munchie delicious. You know what I mean. The kind of food you crave when you’ve got the munchies. I swear their staff has got to be stoned half the time when they come up with these recipes. Anyway, I got thinking about how tender their ground beef is in all of the Tacos and Burritos and then it dawned on me. It’s got to be a slow cooker. So I ran home and made up this recipe and it’s just as good if not better. The real benefits though, however, aren’t that you can now replicate Taco Bell food but you can use it for all kinds of things like Chili Cheese Dogs and Nachos and who’s going to complain about that. So here is a real easy and simple way to make Chili No Beans and you’re going to love it!

Chili No Beans Ingredients:

2 lb Ground Beef
1 lb Pork Chorizo (or beef)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 1.25 oz pkg Taco Seasoning (regular or Mild)

Be sure to watch the short video tutorial and I’ll show you exactly how to make this amazing fast food style Chili No Beans recipe.

Shrimp Scampi

The Best Shrimp Scampi

Some believe Shrimp Scampi is all about the Sauce. Rubbish! It’s all about the Shrimp, just cooked Scampi style. In fact for me personally, I only use enough Sauce to flavor the shrimp with almost nothing left over. In my opinion, the only reason to have extra sauce is to add it to your Pasta, and that’s fine. I like it that way too. I’m just saying that there’s no need for a bunch of extra sauce that’s more or less going to be wasted once the Shrimp have all been eaten. So I would recommend, if you are going to make extra Scampi Sauce, that you add it to the Pasta. Preferably a thinner noodle like Angel Hair, Vermicelli or Thin Spaghetti. But you decide, it’s your kitchen. I like to use Angel Hair Pasta and toss it with scallions, bell peppers and fresh flat leaf parsley. That’s the proper way to serve Shrimp Scampi!
