This is a simple way to do an amazing dish. (If you prefer less spice, cut back on the cayenne and black pepper.)

The basil and shrimp marry well because the slight licorice overtone of the herb complements the delicate flavour of the shellfish. Be sure your shrimp is superfresh. If you can, smell it before you buy it; it should smell fresh, like ocean air. Also, try to add the basil as soon as you chop it; it oxidizes quickly and turns brown when the leaves are cut. This recipe is easily adapted: try substituting dill for basil and yogurt for the sour cream.

This is a bit of a twist on the traditional tapenade. The figs add sweetness and soften the salty bite of the olive. The tapenade is best made a day in advance so the flavours can mellow. Serve with Raincoast Crisps.

This is fantastic served with soft goat's cheese and Original Raincoast Crisps. An instant hors d'oeuvre that keeps refrigerated for several days.

This dip is fabulous with Cranberry Hazelnut Raincoast Crisps; perfect for entertaining.

Super simple to make, this dip is an amazing partner with any of the Raincoast Crisp flavours. Great to have on hand for a topping on lamb burgers or dipping cherry tomatoes into.
