CAJUN TURKEY STEAKS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Reserve 2 tbsp of the onion for the salsa. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the remaining onion and half the pepper for 4 mins or until softened and coloured. Stir in the rice, then pour in the stock. Add the kidney beans and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, stir once, cover the pan, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 mins until the rice is tender and the liquid absorbed.
• Dust the turkey steaks with the Cajun spice and griddle or fry in a non-stick pan for about 4-6 mins on each side until cooked through. Cut the pineapple into small pieces and mix together with the reserved red onion, pepper, green chilli and lime juice. Spoon some salsa over each steak and serve with the rice.

CAJUN CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Cut off tops from the bell peppers and take out the seeds. Mince both red and orange bell peppers and add them to the mixing bowl. Mince red onion and parsley and add it to the bowl too. Add spices.
• To grill corn:
• Prepare your charcoal until it's ashed over. Move it to one half of the grill so that you have a cooler grill side and a hotter grill side. Make sure the grate is clean.
• Snip the silk whiskers sticking out of the top of the corn husk but leave the rest of the corn in a husk. Lay it on the grill, with the bottom of the husk towards the cooler side of the grill. Close the grill and cook for 13-15 minutes, turning it every 3-4 minutes.
• Take corn off the grill and carefully, using tongues, take off the husk and the silk. Brush corn with melted butter and place back on the grill. Close the grill and cook, turning it every 3-4 minutes, until lightly charred on all sides.
• Take corn off the grill and cut the corn kernel off the cobs. Add corn kernel to the mixing bowl with prepared veggies.
• Mix well.
• Add grapeseed oil and mix everything until evenly incorporated.
• (**I recommend using grapeseed oil because of its smooth, mild flavor. It's beautiful in salads.)

PINEAPPLE SHRIMP BOWLS

Steps:

• Carefully slice your pineapples in half lengthways through the stem.
• Next, lay the pineapple halves cut side up onto the cutting board. Using a paring knife, cut around the edges, leaving a 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick edge as shown. This will help you to carve the flesh easier. Scoop out the pineapple flesh, and pour any juice into a small bowl. You should have around 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple juice total from the 2 fruits. Set your pineapple bowls aside.
• Remove and discard the tough center from the pineapple flesh. Dice the flesh into cubes and set it aside in a bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of your oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the shrimp, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper if desired and saute for 3-5 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Set shrimp aside on a plate.
• Meanwhile, add all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and whisk really well to combine.
• In that same preheated skillet, add the rest of the oil and cook your bell pepper together with the red onion for 3-4 minutes. Add in the garden peas and chopped pineapple flesh. Pour in your sauce mixture over the ingredients in the hot skillet. Let it simmer while gently stirring until it reduces a bit.
• Return the shrimp into your skillet, and cook for no more than 1 minute, just until the shrimp are heated through.
• Spoon your shrimp mixture into your pineapples, garnish with green onions and enjoy!
