Enjoy these special treats this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a small bowl, toss shrimp with soy sauce and sherry. Marinate 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat oil in a medium skillet or wok. Add shallots and saut\u00e9. Mix in curry powder and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On high heat and using a slotted spoon, add shrimp and stir-fry until done (about 6-8 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, butter, lime juice, lime zest, Tabasco, ginger, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Stir in rum, and heat for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove 2 tablespoons of sauce to a small bowl. Blend in cornstarch, and add back to the sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place fish on a lightly greased broiler pan, skin sides down. Brush with sauce mixture. Cook about 8 to 10 minutes or until done. Brush again with glaze about halfway through cooking time. Keep remaining sauce hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove to a serving dish. Spoon remaining sauce over fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preheat the grill to medium high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine butter, salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Cool. Brush both sides of crabs with the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place crabs, topsides down, over hot coals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Close grill and cook until shell turns bright red, about 2 1\/2 to 3 minutes. Turn and repeat on the other sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serve with tartar sauce, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check your local fish markets for softshells, especially around the full moon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prepare shallot butter (see below) and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat oil in a skillet to 375\u00b0 F. Add butter and melt. Lightly salt and pepper fish, then dredge lightly in flour. Place in skillet, and saut\u00e9 until lightly browned (about 4 to 5 minutes). Turn the fish over and repeat, cooking until done. Serve with shallot butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a small bowl, combine butter, shallots, tarragon, basil, salt, and pepper. Spread over warm fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit the Mariner\u2019s Menu online seafood guide: MarinersMenu.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n All photos by Vanda Lewis.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\nASIAN<\/strong> CURRIED SHRIMP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
