What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

One of the most popular dishes at Impastato's restaurant. Made fresh and to order, with wine simmered shrimp in a lemon-butter sauce.

3 ounces white wine
16 shrimp, peeled, tail on if desired
3 ounces butter
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 dash salt and pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Heat the wine in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook just until the wine has evaporated.
Add the butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute or until the shrimp is cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the shrimp with Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and parsley. Serve hot.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I used about 1 tbsp panko bread crumbs instead of a pinch and a clove of garlic minced
