This appetizer is so simple and so delicious! I know there are many people that say you should not combine seafood with cheese, well they have never tried this recipe! So GOOD! Robby was a little skeptical at first but all it took was one bite before he was reaching for another piece! I found this recipe over at www.jamhands.com but felt that the measurements were a little skimpy so I doubled the recipe for the topping and I am thrilled I did! The recipe below are MY measurements.

INGREDIENTS
1 pound cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 large ciabatta loaf, sliced in half
1 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh dill
1/2 cup fresh chives
3 cloves of garlic
2 cups cheddar jack cheese

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the tails from the shrimp and set aside. In a large sauté pan melt the butter over medium heat, add the shrimp and the old bay seasoning. Cook for just a couple minutes making sure the shrimp is well coated with the seasoning. Remove from heat and let cool. When cool chop the shrimp into pieces. Place the shrimp into a medium bowl with mayo,garlic, chives, dill and cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well combined. Place the ciabatta bread on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Spread you shrimp mixture onto both sides of the bread and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, slice into sticks and serve warm.

Enjoy,

This is one of Mr. MCYM favorite dinners. I have made the recipe a couple times but then lost the recipe! I FINALLY came across the recipe and made Jim a very happy man! This recipe comes from www.damndelicious.com . Although this recipe is called Korean beef in my house , Jim and Robby both call it yakasoba! It does have some similarities, I guess.  I served this with rice but Jim also likes it served with pasta.

INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 pound ground beef
2 scallions sliced
Rice or pasta

DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, add garlic and continue cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add ground beef and cook until browned, crumbling the beef as it cooks through. Drain fat and stir in the soy sauce mixture and scallions. Stir until well combined and heated through.

Serve with rice or pasta.

Enjoy,
