Shrimp puffing My mom made this at my graduation party and they were the biggest hit! She made an even BETTER (and healthier) version for my grandmother's memorial. SUPER easy to make and look like fancy appetizers :) 1. Season shrimp with pepper, salt, sugar, garlic powder (1:1:1:1 --- maybe a little more sugar). 2. Mayo mix: 4 pho spoons of mayo, 1 pho spoon honey, 1 pho spoon condensed milk 3. Place shrimp in puff pastries. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes, then broil for ~2-4 minutes. And enjoy!

My mama tica made this simple fish for me in Costa Rica and I LOVED it! I asked her to show me how to make it. I was surprised to learn it's super easy and fast with minimal ingredients! - white fish (tilapia works well) - pepper - butter or margarine - parsley - salt (optional) *** if buying fresh white fish, it usually isn't salted so you have to add salt. if buying pre-packaged frozen tilapias, those are sometimes salted so no salt (or less) is necessary. 1. Over medium heat, melt butter and cook garlic + parsley 2. Place fish on skillet and add pepper 3. Cook both sides - should take ~10 minutes and that's it!
