In Simply Shellfish seafood expert and acclaimed cookbook author Leslie Pendleton offers up 125 recipes for shrimp, crab, scallops, clams, mussels, oysters, lobster, and squid. All the dishes are fresh, healthful, and a (sea) breeze to prepare.

Shellfish is a near perfect food: packed with good-for-you protein, low in fat and calories, and exceeding quick and easy to prepare. Not to mention flavor—it's doesn't get much better than creamy clam chowder, tender crab cakes, or succulent lobster rolls. In Simply Shellfish Leslie Pendleton shares her best recipes for these favorites. There's Roasted Shrimp on Asparagus Skewers with Brie, Curried Coconut Scallops, Mussels Steamed in Carrot Ginger Broth, and BLLTs (bacon, lobster, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches). Unlike fish fillets or whole fish, shellfish requires minimal prep time and can be on the table in minutes.

Leslie's recipes are at once sophisticated and approachable, with supermarket-friendly ingredients, easy instructions, and outstanding results.

Simply Shrimp, Salmon and FIsh Steaks -

From Library Journal
Many home cooks still suffer from "fear of fish," but Pendleton (One Dough, Fifty Cookies) cleverly focuses on three categories of seafood that are easy to find, even in the supermarket, are not particularly difficult to cook, and are widely popular - everyone likes shrimp, and non-fish lovers usually eat meaty fish like swordfish and tuna. Her seafood recipes, from Cilantro Shrimp with Peanut Dip to Peppered Salmon to Grilled Swordfish Dijon, are easy and appealing, and she also includes a selection of simple side dishes and accompaniments to serve with them.
