recipe Dinner Recipe: Grilled Shrimp and Noodle Salad
Servings: 4
Food Network ~ Step by Step

Savor the first warm days of spring with a quick grilled meal: Grill sweet-and-spicy shrimp, asparagus and mushrooms, then serve with rice noodles and fresh cilantro. April showers? You can also cook the marinated shrimp and vegetables inside on a grill pan.
Recipe by: Food Network Magazine

    Ingredients:
  • 14 ounces flat rice noodles
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup fish sauce
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Asian chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
  • 1 pound medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, trimmed
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chili sauce and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl. Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to another bowl and toss with the shrimp. Toss another 1/4 cup marinade with the asparagus and mushrooms in a third bowl. Let the shrimp and vegetables marinate 10 minutes at room temperature. Toss the noodles with the remaining marinade.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the shrimp, asparagus and mushrooms until the shrimp is just cooked through and the asparagus is slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Halve the mushrooms and cut the asparagus into pieces.
  • Divide the noodles among bowls and top with the shrimp, asparagus, mushrooms, carrot and cilantro.


recipe Dessert Recipe: Lavender Ice Cream Pie
Servings: 8
Food Network Magazine ~ Step by Step

Fill graham cracker crust with homemade lavendar ice cream. Purple sugar adds a pop of color and alludes to the floral flavor.
Recipe by: Food Network Magazine
    Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup lavender honey
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 heaping tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried lavender
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 9 honey graham crackers (1 sleeve)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Purple coarse sugar, for topping (optional)

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Make the ice cream: Heat the heavy cream, milk, honey, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the lavender and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl; slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Gradually stir the hot egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard is slightly thickened and coats the back of the spoon, about 8 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; discard the lavender. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water. Carefully place the bowl of custard in the ice water and let sit, stirring the custard occasionally and adding more ice to the water as needed, until the custard is cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Pulse the graham crackers, the remaining 1 heaping tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate. Bake until lightly browned and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool completely.
  • Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, until it's the consistency of soft-serve. Spread in the cooled crust and sprinkle coarse sugar around the edge. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
