This recipe was a breeze! It came together quickly and had great flavor. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight. I served it with some tumeric rice and I’m thinking tonight over some fresh pitas to mix it up. 5/5!

This was absolutely delicious. We normally grill or smoke corn. But this has become my new favorite way to cook corn on the cob. It was so simple and delicous. I’d give this recipe 10 stars if I could!

This was excellent! I only had enough time to let it marinate for 2 hours and it was still super flavorful. There were no leftovers. Made with rice and a Japanese cucumber salad. Perfect summer meal. Thank you!

This was excellent. I prepped all the veg and bacon early and refrigerated it, then just grilled the chicken right before serving. We’ll definitely have this again.

I totally love the idea of cheese and fruit … and NO veggies. It’s so festive and decadent! Made this today for some friends and served it along side champagne cocktails. It was a winner.

This is a delicious and easy meal especially if you prep it the night before. I served it in a pita bread with small cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and a little spinach and a generous scoop of the tzatziki sauce. Excellent!

Spanish Cinnamon Rosquillas Recipe, are traditional Spanish doughnuts, delicately spiced with cinnamon and deep-fried to golden perfection. These soft, slightly crispy treats are coated in a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth. Perfect for pairing with coffee or hot chocolate, Rosquillas are a beloved pastry enjoyed during festive occasions and everyday indulgences alike.
These zucchini fritters are loaded with shredded zucchini, herbs, and a hint of cheese, then pan fried to golden perfection.
It’s a side dish or snack that everyone will rave about.
Zucchini fritters are patties that are soft inside and crisp on the outside, kind of like a hashbrown patty or potato pancakes. They’re different from my zucchini pancakes, which are a bit softer in texture.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the shredded zucchini. Cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel works best; paper towels aren’t strong enough to squeeze out all the liquid.
Try a squeeze of lemon juice or fresh herbs on top and serve them with a side salad.
Make mini zucchini fritters as an appetizer and try these delish dips and sauces, like Thousand Island dressing, avocado ranch dressing, or homemade ranch dressing.
Top them with some sour cream, Greek yogurt, or even warm marinara.

Zucchini fritters are a tasty side dish or appetizer with a crispy exterior and tender inside.
Start by grating your zucchini using the larger holes on a box grater. If you have a bigger zucchini, make sure to remove any large seeds with a spoon.
Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with salt and let it rest in a colander for about 5-10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
In a bowl, mix the zucchini with the egg, cheese, breadcrumbs, green onion, flour, and baking powder until well combined.
Shape the mixture into four patties, each about 3-inches across.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the zucchini patties.
Cook each patty for 3 to 5 minutes per side until they’re a deep, golden brown.

Mix 2¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper, 2¼ tsp. ground Sichuan peppercorns, 1½ tsp. sugar, and 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl to combine; set spice mixture aside.
Toss 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on, and ⅓ cup cornstarch in a large bowl until shrimp are evenly coated. Set aside.
Heat ⅓ cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches and adding more oil as needed if pan looks dry, cook one 16–18-oz. tube precooked polenta, cut into 1″ cubes, in a single layer, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp, 10–14 minutes per batch.

Working in batches and adding more oil as needed if pan looks dry, cook reserved shrimp in a single layer in same pan, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to bowl with polenta.
Add 5 Fresno chiles, thinly sliced, to same pan and cook, stirring often, just until tender, about 1 minute. Transfer to bowl with polenta and shrimp.
Add 1 bunch scallions, cut into 2″ pieces, white pieces halved if thick, to same pan and cook, stirring often, just until tender, about 1 minute. Transfer to bowl with polenta, shrimp, and chiles and sprinkle reserved spice mixture over. Toss until combined and everything is evenly coated. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
