Easy Shrimp Orzo (15 Min)

Shrimp turns golden while orzo absorbs lemon and feta, making a complete dinner that feels effortless to pull together. Cherry tomatoes burst slightly in the heat, adding brightness to a dish that tastes like restaurant cooking.

CoraCora, West Hartford CT.

ARROZ NORTENO: Northern Peruvian-style cilantro rice. Mixed seafood, rice, green peas, red bell peppers, choclo; seasoned with a cilantro and Aji Amarillo base, topped with red onion salad.

CHAUFA Peruvian-style fried rice mixed with scallions, red bell peppers, chopped egg; all sauteed in wok with soy sauce and black tiger shrimp.

CoraCora is an authentic Peruvian restaurant. I have been wanted to try this restaurant for a few years now because my brother and sister in law rave about it. So for my Birthday dinner they took me there!!

They have happy hour, so we had to have some drinks and appetizers! For apps we got the Empanadas, Yuca Rellena, Rumba Chalaca and Tequenos which were delicious!

I ordered the ARROZ NORTENO Paella and it was delicious. This was one of the best Paellas I have ever had. The seafood was fresh, I loved the cilantro rice and the veggies added a freshness to the dish. I loved every bite!

We did get dessert, and I love churros so I was very pleased with this sweet treat. And they surprised me with a chocolate cake for my birthday!! They made me feel very special! 🥳

I would recommend @coracoract to anyone in the West Hartford area. The food was delicious, the services was great and you can tell the chefs put a lot of love into their food!!

Mainely Seafood and Deli, Putnam CT.

Are you a fan of Hot or Cold Lobster rolls? Well, at Mainely Seafood you can get both!

I got the Hot Lobster Roll because that is my favorite 🦞

The lobster was very fresh. I don’t think they gave you enough lobster in the roll, it was small. But, the bun was toasted perfectly, with a great crunch. It was buttered perfect, the butter with the lobster meat is so delicious. I wish it had a little lemon with it, for a hint of citrus. Overall it was a good roll, but I would try the cold lobster roll next just for comparison 🦞

The Courthouse Bar and Grille, Putnam CT.

I have reviewed @courthouse_b_g before and I gave it a good review.

I tried their lobster roll yesterday and it surprised me because it was delicious. I was expecting there to be a lot of mayo, but there wasn’t the #lobstertomayoratio was just right.

The lobster roll was made of Lobster meat lightly mixed with mayo, celery, and dill in a toasted roll atop a bed of lettuce. The dill on the lobster roll added a wonderful flavor to the roll. The dill made the roll extra fresh and the lobster was fresh lobster. The toasted roll was very crispy too which gave it a great crunch. There was a lot of meat on the roll too. Once again it was another delicious meal at The Courthouse! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is going into Putnam.

Blount Clam Shack and Market, Warren RI.

Whole Belly Clam Roll on a grilled bun with clam fritters and clam chowder.

Shrimp Wrap- fried shrimp with lettuce, fresh salsa, Kick ‘N’Bayou sauce & Cheddar cheese

Another Sunday, Another Clam Shack! ☀️

I love whole belly clams! Maybe it’s the New Englander in me (born and raised in MA) but they are better than clam strips! Don’t knock ‘em til you try ‘em 😉

I love @blountretail 😉 They have delicious, fresh seafood, amazing soups and fresh and frozen foods. It is my favorite Clam Shack on the East Bay 💕

@blountfoodtruck @blountfinefoods

The fried shrimp wrap was delicious. The fried shrimp was fried lightly and you could still taste the shrimp. The sauce was a nice kick too but it wasn’t too spicy, just a nice kick. The wrap was crispy and had a great crunch with the freshness of the salsa. I usually get the lobster roll here, but I really wanted those whole belly clams 🦞

The whole belly clam roll was delicious! Very nicely fried, it was light and you could still taste those clams. I added a little Tatar sauce to the roll and a little lemon for freshness. The clam fritters are delicious with chunks of clams in the fritter. And when you dunk the fritters in the clam chowder that clam taste really pops out!! I really enjoyed this roll and it was a perfect way to end a Summer Weekend ☀️

Black Dog Bar & Grill Putnam, CT.

The classic Fish and Chips! I love fish and Chips and sometimes you just have to go with what you know and love!

The fish and chips at @blackdogbargrille is made with fresh North Atlantic Haddock and is slightly battered. I really like how you can taste the Haddock through the batter and the fish just melts in your mouth. The batter is not too heavy.

The perfect bite for fish and chips is some fish with a fry or two with tartar sauce!!

The PERFECT collab for summer Luke’s Lobster and Sweetgreen 🦞

I had to get the Luke's Lobster Roll Salad 🦞

Salad: chopped romaine lettuce, spring mix, new buttery focaccia croutons, shredded cabbage, raw carrots, basil and lemon, and is topped with sweetgreen's green goddess ranch dressing.
