FIRE-ROASTED TOMATO SOUP
This is the best to-die-for fire-roasted tomato soup! It can be made for Italian tastes or Mexican tastes! My favorite is the Mexican! Cilantro is the best! Use basil for the cilantro if you prefer an Italian flavor.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour vegetable broth over the onion mixture; add tomatoes, 1 tablespoon cilantro, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until the tomatoes are really soft, about 15 minutes.
- Pour tomato mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid in place; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth and return to the saucepan.
- Put pureed soup over medium heat and cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Stir remaining tablespoon cilantro and the heavy cream into the soup.

FIRE-ROASTED GARLICKY OYSTERS
There's nothing like cooking over a charcoal fire, and it's essential for getting that fire-roasted flavor. When spooning the butter sauce over the oysters during grilling, some of it will hit the hot coals and cause it to flame up. Don't worry--you want that to happen. It'll give the oysters that charred taste you're aiming for.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to high heat.
- Combine the butter, garlic, the juice from the lemons and a few pinches of salt and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter melts. Stir together the parsley, Parmesan and Romano in a medium bowl.
- Arrange the oyster shells on the grill grate. Spoon the butter mixture over the oysters. Add the bread to the grill cut-side down and cook until grill marks appear, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the bread from the grill. Cover the grill with the lid and cook until the oysters begin to reduce in size, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spoon the parsley mixture over each oyster, cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the oysters are cooked to desired doneness, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the oysters to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the bread.

Steps:
- Blend the peas and vegetable broth in a blender until smooth. Take the lid off and, with the motor running, pour in the oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture. Add the lemon juice then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- To make the spicy crab, whisk the canola oil, chili paste, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Fold in the crabmeat and mint and season with a pinch of salt. Fill espresso or sake cups, about 3/4 full, with the chilled pea soup. Garnish the pea shots with a generous tablespoon of the spicy crab and serve immediately.
KING CRAB AND AVOCADO SHOOTERS
This is a combination of King crab and avocado, what could be bad - and to top it off it is fast and healthy! Made a mistake it wasn't Saveur Magazine it was www.foodandwine.com/recipes/king-crab-and-avocado-shooters - it is from the April 2010 edition. **The computer will not allow me to post the lump crab meat (substitute) for the King crab, just know you can use it instead.Update:kcpowers reviewed the recipe and she says to use just a little aount of lemon juice and to use 5 oz glasses. :)

Tips
- For the best flavor, use fresh crabmeat. If you're using frozen crabmeat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the crabmeat. It should be cooked just until it's heated through.
- Be careful not to overfill the shooter glasses. The crabmeat should be able to expand as it cooks.
- Serve the crab shooters immediately after they're cooked.
