Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-or 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Add the fennel and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until the fennel is tender.

- Bake for 15 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked and the bread crumbs are golden brown. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp. Serve hot with the remaining lemon cut into wedges.
SARASOTA'S SHRIMP SPINACH STRATA
Easy! Well, this was actually a collaboration between my best friend and myself one night after working all night at the restaurant to get ready for a catering event. A couple of co workers were going to be over in the early am to help so we wanted to make something for breakfast. Now, we were staying at a friends apartment basically in the middle of no where, so not sure what he had to work with. There were eggs, a loaf of Italian bread, frozen spinach and a bag of a frozen pepper and onion mix. It was 1 am so the 7-11 provided the cheese and milk and this is what we did. Since then, I have used many different cheeses in this same recipe, many variations and combination of vegetables but this is still my favorite. And after adding it to a local cookbook some 15+ years ago, I have seen it appear in many different websites, blogs as well as many smaller local cookbooks. I guess it was a good recipe. You can use monterey jack which is what we first used, also edam, havarti, gouda and muenster or any good melting cheese. Also I try to use fresh onions and peppers, but since this was the original recipe we made, I thought I would share for those who don't always have access to fresh bell peppers year round. So I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- NOTE: Back when we first made this there were not bags of frozen vegetables but just boxes. I usually use fresh, but the bags that are available today, listed below, is the equivalent of what we originally used.
- Casserole -- Spray a 13x9 casserole dish with Pam or a non stick spray. Line the bottom of the casserole dish with the bread slices. Tear up or cut any remaining slices in small bits and pieces to fill in any holes. Be sure to cover the entire bottom of the casserole pan.
- Layers -- Spread the pesto sauce (I used Classico, but there are many good brands available or better yet, make your own) over the bread slices and sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with the shrimp, then the spinach, and then the entire package of the pepper and onion stir fry mix. Finish off by topping with the remaining cheese.
- Egg Mixture -- I a medium size bowl, add the eggs and beat well, mix in the thyme, oregano, milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper and pour the mixture over the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate all day at least 8 hours or overnight which is even better.
- Bake -- Heat oven to 350, uncover and bake 45 minutes and when you stick a knife in the center the eggs are set and the knife will come out clean the dish is done. Remove from the oven and let set 15 minutes before cutting.
- Serve -- Just cut into squares and enjoy. A nice side salad is perfect with this dish.

SARASOTA'S SPINACH AND SHRIMP STRATA
Another recipe out of the archives - no idea where this came from. I often found recipes in the paper, magazines, small book and changed them up and then wrote them on my index card and filed them. Well where ever it originated ... it is a great simple recipe. It is so easy, the only down fall is it has to set over night or all day before baking and then it takes almost a hour to bake. But it is well worth it. I made this a few weeks ago for a friend. Put it together in the am, dropped it off and told her to bake at 350 for 40 -50 minutes. She absolutely loved it and has made it again already.

Steps:
- Base -- Spray a 13x9" pan with Pam or a non stick spray. Arrange the slices of bread on the bottom, and make sure to cover the entire bottom. Cut smaller pieces to fill in the empty spaces.
- Strata -- Spread the pesto over the bread making sure to coat everything, and then cover with 1/2 the cheese, 1 cup. Layer with the shrimp, spinach, red peppers, onion and finish with the remaining 1 cup of the cheese.
- Egg -- Mix the eggs, milk, salt and pepper well and pour over the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate over night. Eight (8) hours is required, but don't let it cover over 12 hours.
- Bake -- Remove from the refrigerator and let it warm up a bit so It isn't ice cold. Cover with foil if not already and bake in a 350 degree oven, middle rack for 30 minutes. Remove and arrange the tomatoes slices on the casserole and continue to bake covered for another 15-20 minutes (45 min) is the right time for my oven, but just check by inserting a knife in the center. When it comes out clean it is done.
- If you want - you can put the dish under the broiler for just 3-4 minutes to broil the tomatoes, but I don't mind if they aren't browned. It is a nice texture to me to have the fresh tomatoes on the top.
- Serve -- Make sure to let the strata set 15 minutes before serving. ENJOY!
- Prep time includes the overnight rest.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and drained spinach and cook 2 minutes more. Set aside.
- Butter a 3-quart or 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread one third of the bread cubes in the dish and top evenly with one third of spinach mixture. (Try to break it up as much as possible so there are no huge clumps of spinach.) Sprinkle with one third of each cheese. Repeat layering twice, ending with cheeses.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the half-and-half, mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and whisk until well combined. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the strata. Cover the strata with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until puffed, set and golden brown all over top, 70-80 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving. It will settle a bit as it cools.
- Note: The cook time is based on the strata going immediately from the fridge to the oven. If it sits out at room temperature before baking, the cook time will be about 10 minutes less.

SARASOTA'S BRUSSELS SPROUTS STRATA
This is an easy wonderful side dish. I happen to love brussels sprouts and this is a great way to prepare them. If you like spinach strata ... this is just like it and just as good or better in my opinion. The onion and leeks give it a great savory flavor and then the pumpernickel with the creamy cheese is a great compliment. It is great comfort food and it reminds me of Fall. Serve this with a slow cooked pork roast and some roasted sweet potatoes for a great dinner.

Steps:
- Bread -- In a medium bowl, add the bread and drizzle with the melted butter and toss well to combine.
- Casserole -- Then in a 13x9" casserole dish, spray well with a non-stick spray and then add the bread pressing in a single layer as much as possible, pressing down firmly. Then in that same bowl, add the brussels sprouts, leeks and onion and mix well to combine. Once mixed, layer that on top of the bread in the casserole dish.
- Egg Mixture -- And once again -- that same bowl; add the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and mix well to combine. Pour over the bread and vegetables and cover with the two grated cheeses. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Make sure to cover with saran or plastic wrap.
- Bake -- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the strata on the middle shelf, uncovered for approximately 1 hour until it is puffy and golden brown. Check the doneness just like you would a cake. Stick a knife in the middle until the knife comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes until the egg mixture sets.
- Serve -- You can either cut or just scoop out this great vegetable dish. ENJOY this great Fall side dish! It is very easy and simple tastes.
- You can always add some fresh sage to the dish, but the pumpernickel and brussels seem to offer enough flavor as is.

SARASOTA'S SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD SANDWICH
I love this shrimp salad because it is lighter than other versions. Sometimes, it seemed all I tasted was mayonnaise which is why I like this version so much. It is creamy with a bit of a kick. Serve on croissants with sliced avocado, tomato and creamy cheddar cheese. This can also be served on whole wheat bread, but I prefer the croissants. I like to serve this with a bowl of soup for an easy dinner or lunch. Frozen shrimp will work fine for this. But if you can get fresh even better. My grocery store will steam them for me as I shop with a spicy cajun seasoning which is perfect for this. Or I bring them home and steam them with some Old bay or even in beer.

Steps:
- Shrimp Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the mayonnaise, yogurt (you can use all mayonnaise if you want, but I love the light flavor the yogurt adds. Also, if you like your salad a bit creamier, just add a bit more mayonnaise or yogurt. Stir in the lime juice, chipotle, salt and pepper and add in the cilantro, celery, olives, onion and diced shrimp. Toss well to combine.
- Sandwiches -- Just pile high. Shrimp salad, then avocado, tomato and cheese. Now croissants have plenty of butter in them, so just spray your grill pan or saute pan with a little non stick spray. If using whole wheat bread, I like to butter each side of the bread slices and then grill. If you don't want to grill, this is also just as good served cold with lettuce.
- When grilling I weigh them down slightly but not too much and grill just until the bread or croissant is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Using a heaving pan is a simple way to weigh them down.
- One NOTE: These are great served open face as well.
- Just Enjoy!

SARASOTA'S SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS WITH CREAMY RISOTTO
I love risotto, but honestly, I don't make it that often, but this is really good. At the end I simply stir in some seared scallops, shrimp and some greens for a great flavor. This is not my recipe well, not for the most part. But I got the idea from a small New England restaurant and this is my version and. And I admit, it is pretty basic, but it is always great!

Steps:
- Seafood -- Make sure all the seafood is cleaned and room temp or at least out of the refrigerator to take the chill off.
- Risotto --
- Step 1: In a large sauce pan, heat the oil to medium heat and add the onion, fennel and cook until tender. It should take 4-5 minutes. Add the rice and cook another couple of minutes until slightly brown and rice absorbs the oil and the flavors of the onion and the fennel. It will take just a couple of minutes. Add in the wine and cook another minute or so until the rice absorbs all the liquid.
- Step 2: Chicken broth - make sure to heat up your chicken broth in a small sauce pan on the stove so you can add a little at a time.
- Step 3: Slowly add a little chicken broth to the rice mixture, a little (1 cup) at a time until it is all absorbed. Don't forget to stir. When almost all the liquid is absorbed (about 15 minutes), add in the kale and cook another 5 minutes. Then add in the butter and cream and stir and remove from the heat and cover. I have read that risotto takes exactly so many minutes. Well every time I have made it. Never the same amount of time. So about 20-25 minutes is what I use. Just check it.
- Seafood -- First, season the scallops with salt and pepper. And then in a medium sauce pan (NO non-stick if possible), heat up the butter to medium high heat. Add the scallops and cook 1-2 minutes per side. Don't move the scallops after you add them to the pan - let them cook. After 1-2 minutes the scallops should easily move and golden brown on one side. Flip and cook the other side. The second side will only take a minute (less time). Remove to a plate while you cook the shrimp. The shrimp again, just 2 maybe 3 minutes if that. Just when they start to curl and they turn pink remove and add to the scallops.
- Finish -- If the risotto is too thick, just add a little chicken broth. Check for seasoning, salt and pepper; and add in the scallops, shrimp and parsley. Toss well and top with grated parmesan.
