Camille’s Cooking: Bring the tropics home with Coconut Shrimp
During my time as a restaurant owner, we would sometimes host Hawaii night. Although our community is often described as a little town in a big city, we still live the city life.
Tropical beaches and swaying palm trees are only in our dreams until we book such a vacation. That said, our Hawaii nights offered a taste and climate with a Polynesian flair, and I can still recall our many patrons entering our doors with great anticipation.
The entire staff would wear hula skirts and leis, and our menu was an array of Hawaiian appetizers and entrées. One of the greatest people to work with me was my dear friend Johnny Lahara.
