Baked Honey Cajun Shrimp (or fish!) in just 3 steps

You can use any fish filet with this recipe, 

or stick with the original - shrimp!

This baked honey cajun shrimp recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd. It’s so simple to put together and tastes amazing. Serves 4 for Dinner or 8 as an appetizer. The shrimp taste wonderful over mashed potatoes, pasta or white rice. It’s not fiery hot by any means but if you want it to be a little more kid-friendly, you might consider cutting the cajun seasoning in half.
Ingredients for Baked Shrimp:1 lb large shrimp (21-26 count), peeled & deveined
2 Tbsp fresh lemon Juice (juice of 1 small or 1/2 large lemon)
1/4 cup extra light olive oil (not extra virgin)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp cajun seasoning
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Garnish:1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
How to Make Baked Honey Cajun Shrimp:1. In a medium bowl, whisk together: juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning and 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Add 1 lb shrimp and stir well to coat. (P.S. I left the shrimp tails on only because I love the look of them – it’s more practical to remove them). Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

2. In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 Tbsp chopped parsley with 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest – cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Preheat Oven to 450˚F. Transfer shrimp to a baking dish large enough to hold shrimp in a single layer. Bake uncovered until firm (8-10 minutes). Don’t over-bake or shrimp can become rubbery. P.S. The sauce left in the pan makes for an excellent bread dip :).

Quick & Easy "Fancy" breakfast - Honey Blueberry Sauce

So good you'll want to just eat it with a spoon, (go ahead!) or drizzle over waffles, pancakes or danishes. Even as a yogurt topper - so good, so fresh, so easy!

Honey Blueberry Sauce

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 2 cups

Honey and cinnamon add a sweet and spicy flavor to cooked blueberries. This easy filling is great for eating on toast, pastries, baked goods, or eating with a spoon.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blueberries

2 Tablespoons water

1/4 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Ingredients

1. Bring the water and blueberries to a boil over high heat. The berries will start to release juice as they heat up. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the water and juices simmer out.

2. Stir the honey and cinnamon into the cooked berries. Let cool. Makes about 2 cups of sauce/filling. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Honey Bourbon Grilled Flank Steak

Yummmmmmm - perfect for summer grilling!

Honey Bourbon Grilled Flank Steak

From:  MikeAdamick.com

What you need
1 flank steak. About a pound.

1/2 soy sauce (I prefer low sodium)

1/2 cup bourbon 

3 enormous squeezes or dollops of honey

6 crushed garlic cloves (just rip them from the head, smash with the side of a knife and rough chop a little bit, skin and all)

3 ounces ginger, rough chopped, skin and all.

Salt and pepper

1 big Ziploc bag

1 summer barbecue set up -- or grill pan on the stove if you must

Here's what you do

1. Toss all your ingredients in the bag, seal, shake and massage and then leave to marinate for a few hours.

2. Barbecue it. To me, this means seared over super hot coals until crusted on the outside and perfectly medium rare on the inside. Takes just a few minutes per side. Flip a few times. Done.

3. Let it rest for a few minutes. Then, eat it. Eat it all. I've learned to buy bigger flank steaks than I think I need, because I always end up slicing off extra bits for me while everyone gets seated. 

The National Honey Board is partnering with Mike Adamick and providing cash money for honey in this campaign. Be sure to follow along on his Facebook page for updates about the #HoneyBeeBQ campaign.

This lightly honey sweetened lemonade is a breeze to make and is really refreshing!

Honey Sweetened Lemonade

http://www.texanerin.com/2014/08/honey-sweetened-lemonade.html

Ingredients

• 4½ cups (1065ml) water
• ⅓-1/2 cup (107-160 grams) honey
• 1 cup (240ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice - from about 4-7 large lemons

Directions

1. Warm the water and ⅓ cup honey in a pot or saucepan over low heat. Stir to dissolve the honey and once dissolved, remove from the heat. This should only take about a minute.
2. Add the lemon juice and stir. Add more honey, if desired.
3. Chill and serve.

If you'd like flavored lemonade...

For a fruity twist to this delicious lemonade, add frozen strawberries (whole or pieces), or frozen blueberries (or both!) - 1 cup of fruit total - to the water and honey mixture as you warm it.  You probably won't need to add more honey for sweetness if you add the fruit. 

For a more adult version...

Prepare the lemonade as noted above. Fill a glass with ice, fill 2/3 full with lemonade, and top off with vodka - stir and enjoy!  For quicker flavored adult lemonade - prepare the regular lemonade recipe and choose a flavored vodka!
