It is no secret that I love seafood. I grew up on the eastern coast of Mexico where it is easy to find fresh seafood in many different varieties. One of my favorites of course is shrimp! 

Shrimp is such a versatile protein, and I love to make it in different ways, including with a garlic sauce, a la diabla, and in ceviche! While I have gotten my kids to really like shrimp in different ways, and it has grown on my husband too, the most popular way to make it at my house is as crispy crunchy fried shrimp. 

The combination of fresh shrimp with seasonings like black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and more, which is then fried to golden brown perfection is amazing! This crispy shrimp recipe can be used as a main dish accompanied by french fries, or as a side dish. 

This crispy fried shrimp recipe is also one of our favorites to make on game day when we have a crowd over to watch our favorite teams. It is also perfect for other special occasions like birthdays. I always like to serve it with a good dipping sauce as well, which you can make yourself or buy at the store. Just regular hot sauce makes for a great dipping sauce as well if you want to add a little bit of heat. 

This recipe is perfect for seafood lovers and people that don’t love seafood and makes for an easy dinner any day of the week.  

​How Do You Make Crunchy Fried Shrimp?

This is such an easy recipe to make and won’t take you long at all. The good thing is that you can use whatever kind of shrimp you have on hand. I personal like to use larger shrimp, like jumbo shrimp or extra-large shrimp, but you can use smaller ones as well if that is what you have. My preference is to use wild caught shrimp, but again, that is up to your personal preference. 

To make this recipe, you will start by gathering the following simple ingredients:

• 1 pound of raw shrimp
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs (you can use pank bread crumbs if you prefer)
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• Black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Oil for frying (vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil all work well)

To make this recipe, you will want to clean and devein the shrimp, season with a little bit of salt and set aside in a medium bowl. 

Next, add the flour to another bowl and put it next to the bowl with the Shrimp. Add the eggs to a third bowl with the black pepper, and beat to form the egg mixture. Finally, in a fourth bowl, add the rest of the dry ingredients and combine. 

At this point, you will want to heat enough oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to fry the shrimp. You need hot oil for this recipe to make sure you have a very crispy texture. You can use a deep fryer as well if you have one and that may make it easier.  

When the oil is hot, coat the shrimp in the flour, and then dredge it in the egg wash, before coating with the breadcrumb mixture. Immediately place shrimp in the hot oil and let the shrimp cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, flipping over half way through if needed to ensure an even cook. 

You will want to monitor the temperature of the oil so it doesn’t get too hot, but so that it is still hot enough to fry the shrimp. Once cooked through, place each fried shrimp on a plate lined with paper towels to get rid of the excess grease. You can also put the paper towels under a wire rack and place the shrimp on that to let the grease drain and to allow the shrimp to cool down more quickly. 

In no time at all, you will have a plate full of delicious crunchy shrimp to share with your friends and family. You can now serve it with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, a sour cream based sauce, and also with lemon wedges. This recipe has never failed to please my family and friends and I hope you enjoy it as well. You can store leftover fried shrimp in an airtight container, but it is always best when recently cooked.

Macaroni and cheese is a classic recipe that people of all ages love. Of course, many people think of the box mix, but I prefer to make it myself from scratch. Doing that allows you to get a smooth sauce and to use different types of cheeses depending on what you are feeling like in the moment.

I have to admit that in Mexico, macaroni and cheese isn’t really something that you find very often, but here in the United States there are so many varieties and it is a perfect side dish to take to family events and other activities. You can even serve it as a main dish and I doubt anyone would complain!

Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food and there are so many great recipes for it. I hope that next time you are craving mac and cheese, you give this recipe a shot and that it becomes one of your favorites!

What kind of cheese should you use to make macaroni and cheese?

This recipe will make enough to serve the whole family and uses a combination of mild cheddar cheese, manchego cheese, and American cheese. Of course, if you don’t have any of those on hand, you can replace them with a different cheeses, like colby jack, sharp cheddar cheese or more. If you want a white sauce, you can use parmesan cheeses and sharp white cheddar or another type of white cheese that melts well.

Regardless of the specific type of cheese you use, if you want to have a creamy cheese sauce, you will need to use one that melts easily.

How do you make macaroni and cheese?

Macaroni and cheese is easy to make. Of course, you can just boil the noodles and add the cheese suace, but I like to add some extra flavor to the noodles first. To do so, I start with the following ingredients:

• 1 large bag of elbox macaroni
• 1/4 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• Salt to taste

Prepare the elbow macaroni by adding it to a large pot with water and the rest of the above ingredients. Bring it to a boil and let it cook until they are al dente. After that, you will strain the water and set it aside while you make the cheese sauce.

How do you make the best cheese sauce for homemade mac and cheese?

The cheesy sauce that you make is the key to having a creamy mac and cheese that everyone will love. That is why it is important to find the right kinds of cheeses and to follow the instructions closely.

To make this creamy cheese sauce, gather the following ingredients:

• Unsalted butter
• Evaporated milk
• Whole Milk
• All purpose flour
• shredded cheddar cheese
• shredded manchego cheese
• American cheese slices
• Paprika
• ground nutmeg
• Garlic powder
• Black pepper
• Salt

In order to make sure the American cheese melts more easily, cut it into smaller pieces and set aside. Start by heating a large non-stick pot over low heat. When it is hot, add the butter and let it melt, being careful not to burn it.

When the butter is completely melted, add the flour and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. You will know it is ready when the flour starts to turn a light brown color. Add the whole milk and evaporated milk to the flour mixture, along with all of the spices and then raise the temperature to medium heat, stirring constantly so that it doesn’t burn. Let the combination heat up, but don’t let it boil.

Once the sauce starts to thicken, it is time to lower the heat and add the combination of cheeses. Again, you need to keep stirring it constantly until the cheese start to melt. Once the cheese is completely melted, turn off the heat and add the previously cooked macaroni and stir until integrated completely with the cheese sauce.

Now it is ready to serve!

What can you add to macaroni and cheese?

This macaroni and cheese recipe is the real deal all by itself, but there are always ways to modify it to give it even more flavor.

One of my favorite variations is to simply add some homemade bacon bits. To do this, just cook the bacon, let it cool and then crumble it. You can add it once the rest of the recipe is finished and just stir it in.

Another variation is to add some type of meat, like brisket, pulled pork, or chicken. This ensures that it becomes a complete meal and trust me, it really takes it to the next level.

Finally, if you want your macaroni and cheese to have a bit of a kick, you can add cayenne pepper powder, chipotle powder, or red pepper flakes, and replace the American cheese with pepper jack cheese.

If you have leftovers, make sure you store it in an airtight container and eat it within a day or two.

Mashed potatoes is not a recipe that I grew up cooking or eating much in Mexico. We do eat lots of potatoes in Mexico, and we even mash them, but we prepared them in a different manner and with different types of recipes. For example, in Mexico you can often find flautas, or taquitos, that consist of corn tortillas, filled with mashed potatoes and then fried. You can also find potatoes mixed with chorizo and served as tacos! 

Here in the United States, however, I have learned to love mashed potatoes with gravy, served with a delicious pork or beef roast. This has become one of our favorite Sunday dinners and I want to share with you all today one of my favorite ways to make mashed potatoes in a crockpot. 

What is the best way to make crockpot mashed potatoes? 

There are many recipes online for making mashed potatoes in your crockpot. I think this is because everyone knows that when it comes to dinner, convenience is very important. In my case, we have 4 boys under 12 so our house is always crazy! On Sundays, I like to get this meal going in th morning, so that it is ready for us in the early afternoon when we get home from church. 

This recipe can be adapted to your personal tastes and how you like for it to be seasoned, but the base recipe will include potatoes, sour cream, butter, and heavy whipping cream. In addition, I like to add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make sure it has great flavors. 

After you add all of the ingredients to the crockpot, you will set it on low for about 4-6 hours. At that point, the potatoes will be perfectly tender and ready to mash and serve with your favorite gravy. I always add an extra dollop of butter to the serving dish so that it starts to melt – everyone seems to love it! 

What can you serve with mashed potatoes?

Mashed potatoes are a side dish that can go alongside many types of main dishes. Some of my favorites are below:

• Authentic Barbacoa de Borrego Recipe (Lamb Barbacoa)
• Barbacoa Tacos
• Amazing Smoked Pork Chops Recipe
• How To Make Delicious Smoked Ribs
• Smoked Brisket Recipe on a Traeger (With the Best Homemade Mop Sauce)
• Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Tacos

Have you ever made a delicious meal, just to not have any good side dish to go along with it? I know that has happened to me before, which is why I love to share quick and tasty side dishes whenever possible. 

One of my favorite side dishes is coleslaw. You can find a simple and tasty version here – trust me, you will fall in love! Today, however, I am going to share a variation on traditional coleslaw using apples – it is appropriately called “apple slaw.” 

While I love regular coleslaw, the extra crunch and tang that the apple gives to this recipe is so good. The dressing is also a bit different and is made to perfectly complement the other ingredients. 

How do you make apple slaw?

You will need the following ingredients for the dry portion of the apple slaw recipe:

• shredded cabbage
• green apples
• shredded carrots
• chopped cilantro
• nuts (I prefer cashews)

These ingredients are strong enough to hold up to the flavors from the dressing, and they complement each other so well.

You make the dressing with a combination of tasty ingredients, including mayonaise, dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. 

All you have to do is make the dressing, and then add it to the dry ingredients before mixing well and cooling in the refrigerator. 

What do you serve apple slaw with?

You can serve Apple slaw as a side dish for a variety of recipes. Some of my favorites are the following:

• The Best BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders
• How To Make Smoked Pulled Pork 
• How To Make Delicious Smoked Ribs
• Slow Cooker Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Meatballs
• Easy Homemade Fried Chicken Sandwich
• How To Make Delicious Smoked Turkey on a Traeger

Whatever you serve it with, it will add something special to the meal.

The post Amazing Apple Slaw Recipe appeared first on My Latina Table.

I have to admit that I had never eaten coleslaw before coming to the United States. In Mexico, there are some similar recipes, like this Jicama and Cucumber Slaw with Sweet and Spicy Dressing, but even that is a bit different than your traditional American cole slaw. 

The first time I saw it, I was a little bit hesitant to try it, because it was different from anything I had tried before. That said, after one bite, I realized why coleslaw is so popular! 

I absolutely love the creaminess of the sauce, combined with the crunchiness of the veggies. Of course, I had to come up with my own version after trying a few and that is what I am going to share today. 

What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Coleslaw?

Cole slaw is really a pretty simple recipe to make. You will need to have the following ingredients:

• Shredded Carrots and Cabbage (I almost always buy the pre-shredded bags from the store to save time);
• Homemade Coleslaw dressing (recipe below)

You can also mix it up a bit by making apple slaw instead – check out the recipe here. 

How Do You Make Coleslaw?

As you saw above, you can make coleslaw with only a few simple ingredients. Making it is just as simple! All you have to do is add the shredded cabbage and carrots to a large bowl, and then slowly add the dressing, mixing it as you go. 

Some people like their coleslaw to be very saturated with the dressing. Since the cabbage and carrots are pretty crunchy, they can handle quite a bit of sauce. Other people like to go a bit easy on the dressing, and that is fine as well. That is why I suggest that you add just a little bit of dressing at a time so that you can ensure that it has the perfect amount for  your individual tastes. 

What Can  You Serve Coleslaw With?

One of the reasons that cole slaw is so popular is that it is easy to make and is a great side dish. I personally like to serve it with fried chicken and grilled or smoked meats like this brisket. It also goes great as a side dish for burgers and chicken sandwiches. 

That said, by far, my favorite way to serve this is as part of a smoked pulled pork sandwich. The flavors complement each other perfectly, and it makes for a perfect bite. Check out our recipe for smoked pulled pork and you will see what I mean!

No matter how you serve your coleslaw, you can be certain that it will be popular if you follow this recipe.

Over the past few years, we have made some good friends in the city where we live. It has been fun to get together and have parties where we can play games and let our kids have fun together as well. One thing that most of these gatherings have in common is that there is a lot of good food! This Bacon, Cheddar, and Chipotle Corn Dip is always our go-to when we are asked to bring an appetizer, and it never lasts long.

I can assure you that if you make it, everyone will be asking you for the recipe for months to come.

This corn dip has the perfect combination of heat and flavor to satisfy just about any palate. Don’t be afraid of the chipotle – it doesn’t overpower the other flavors, and it gives it just what it needs for people to go back for seconds (and thirds).

I first made this corn dip a few years ago, and it has made an appearance many times since.

The best thing about this is how easy it is to make. You just have to combine the ingredients in a bowl, mix them up, and transfer them to a baking dish before baking. Afterwards, you can add some fresh tomatoes and cilantro as a final touch.

The end result is this delicious, easy, and irresistible corn dip. The last time we took it to a party, people started eating it and it was the first thing gone. For the rest of the night, just about everyone there asked for the recipe.

We usually serve this corn dip with homemade or store bought tortilla chips. You really can’t go wrong with this dip, and you can even eat it just with a spoon!

There are a lot of recipes for corn dip out there, but this one is one-of-a-kind. The addition of bacon and chipotle puts it over the top for me and I know you will love it.

I hope that you enjoy this unique corn dip recipe. Let me know how it turns out for you in the comments below.
