Fried Calamari with Sautéed Garlic Sesame Spinach

I love fried calamari. I often order it as an appetizer at pretty much any restaurant I go to. It's a common dish usually served with a sauce like marinara or tzatziki. Today, I decided to make some at home. 

Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Curry Dip

Shrimp is probably the most popular seafood out there. I have a couple of friends who hate seafood (I know, what's up with that???) and they still have at least tried shrimp. As Forrest Gump's friend Bubba said it's the fruit of the sea and you can cook it a million different ways. One of my favourite ways to cook shrimp is to coat it in coconut flakes. I just love the flavour of coconut and shrimp together. It makes me think of somewhere tropical and warm:)
