Tossed with pasta or cooked into shrimp and rice, the sweet and briny pair make a killer sauce.

Bourbon Chicken Liver Pâté

Though this pâté can be eaten the day it's made, we find it even more flavorful when made one or two days ahead. If you use several small ramekins instead of a pâté crock or terrine, you may need more clarified butter to seal the tops.

Lemony Risotto With Asparagus and Shrimp

Make this shrimp risotto for a weeknight dinner. With bright flavor from lemon zest and fresh asparagus, it’s an ideal meal for spring.

Paneer-Stuffed Peppers

Spiced tomato sauce with bits of creamy paneer fills delicious stuffed peppers here, but it can also be served with flatbread, over quinoa, or in a quesadilla.
