CROQUIGNOLES
Croquignoles are crisp, twisted doughnuts spiced with nutmeg and rich in eggs and butter. Although it's customary to serve them at Reveillon on Christmas Eve, they're good anytime, especially with mugs of hot chocolate.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon peel.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Mix together flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
- Stir dry ingredients into the batter in 3 parts, alternating with the cream in 2 parts.
- The dough will be quite soft, but this results in more tender doughnuts.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until firm.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts.
- Work with 1 part at a time, refrigerating the remaining portions to keep them firm.
- On a well floured surface, roll out one portion of dough about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut strips of dough 3/4 inch wide and 6 inches long.
- Twist each strip 3 times, then join ends by dampening with a drop of water and pinching together firmly.
- Heat about 3 inches of oil to 360 F.
- Fry the croquignoles until golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Repeat the rolling, shaping and frying with the rest of the dough, always keeping any unused dough in the refrigerator to keep it firm.
- Place the doughnuts on a large serving platter or tray and sprinkle icing sugar generously over the tops.
- Serve as fresh as possible.
- Makes about 48 croquignoles.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the sugar dissolves and the eggs are frothy and a light lemon yellow color.
- Add in the butter, milk, and vanilla; continue to whisk for a full minute.
- Switch to a sturdy spoon and mix in the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time; the dough will be somewhat stiff.
- Flour a work surface lightly; pat out the dough into a ½-inch thick rectangle and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough out into a large 1/8 inch thick square, then trim off any ragged edges.
- Using a pastry cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into diamond shapes (as small as 3x3 inches or as big as 6x6 inches).
- Heat enough shortening in a large deep skillet or saucepan to measure several inches in depth, bringing it to 375°.
- Transfer several dough diamonds to the shortening.
- After sinking briefly, the breads will rise to the surface.
- Fry them for about 1 minute, until puffed, crisp, and golden brown on both sides.
- Remove with tongs and drain.
- Repeat with the remaining dough; dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

CROQUIGNOLES
From Emeril's cookbook Louisiana Real and Rustic; posted for ZWT 5. "Long ago, before modern highways, it was near impossible for country children to get the golden beignets that their city cousins enjoyed. However, they managed quite well with these little friend doughnut-like cakes. They are NOT like the classic French croquignoles, which are glazed crunchy biscuits."

SHRIMP CROQUETTES
This is from a very nice Restaurant called "The French Hen". The recipe does not give the bag size of the shrimp. You would just have to use your own judgement on this one.

PINEAPPLE-GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS
From chow.com; posted for ZWT 5. "With a flavor that's somewhere between Asian and Caribbean, these skewers are hard to label but easy to make and tasty enough that they'll be a hit with the whole family. **NOTE: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes beforehand, so they don't burn on the grill. **Note: There's just a touch of heat in the glaze from cayenne pepper. If you're up for it, you can get the party started by adding a little extra." -- This could also be made with chicken, or for something special, use sugarcane skewers.

Steps:
- Combine 2 cups of the pineapple, the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic in a blender and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Skim off any foam and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer until glaze is thick and syrupy enough to coat the back of a spoon and has reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in cayenne and set aside to cool slightly, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a gas or charcoal grill to high (about 400°F) or a grill pan over high heat until very hot.
- Skewer 1 shrimp, making sure to pass the skewer through the thick portion and the tail portion, then skewer 1 piece of the remaining pineapple. Repeat, alternating between the two and leaving a space in between, until you have 3 shrimp and 2 pineapple pieces per skewer. Brush skewers on one side with glaze.
- Rub the grill with a towel dipped in vegetable oil, place the skewers on the grill glaze side down, and brush the other side of the skewers with more glaze.
- Continue brushing and turning every few minutes until the thick portions of the shrimp are white and firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
