Crunchy Oven Baked Shrimp with Peachy Dipping Sauce

Crunchy Oven Fried Shrimp with Spicy Peachy sauce!  I can't get enough of them!  I will make the peach sauce over and over again, I can already taste it with salmon and turkey burgers and pork chops and chicken and fish and...well you get the point. It's yummy!

The sauce is so simple, it is made out of peach preserves, ground ginger, honey and hot sauce...nuke it a minute and instant dip!  You can even use sugar free preserves and get amazing results.

I tried the shrimp a couple different ways - soaked in buttermilk, dipped in egg, and just Panko and then dipped in regular bread crumbs and then again with a bread-Panko combo, and that was the best. These little wonder shrimp have been tested and re-tested.  (Thank you Mr. Kirk for your very valuable opinion...he has a very tough job, being my official taste tester.)
The shrimp are also very low in calorie, so make tons and double your batch of the peachy sauce to go with everything you are cooking this week!

Homemade Focaccia Bread with Fresh Rosemary

I tried quite a few recipes for Focaccia before landing on this one. Some were to thin, too dry, too thick...this one is perfect!  It could be because you cook it in a small pool of olive oil and who wouldn't like that?  The extra oil in the pan makes a crusty bread and the olive oil adds a deep flavor but it does not taste oily at all.    The original recipe is from Ann Burrell, (funky, spikey blonde hair lady on Food TV)  I've been told if I would sprout about 3-4 inches, I would be a an Anne Burrell look alike...I would be okay with that!

 I used a Kitchen Aid and dough hook, but you could certainly just go in with your hands.  Give it a long first knead though,  you want it smooth and silky.
