Winter is officially over and we are pleased to finally enjoy spring (and all the yummy produce that follows). By incorporating bright veggies and fruit like asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries, you add layers of flavor to even the simplest dishes — and nobody does that better than the king of Flavortown himself. Read on below to get some of Guy Fieri‘s best-ever recipes for springtime eats.
Tex Wasabi’s Koi Fish Tacos (pictured above)
After marinating flaky cod in a mixture of lime juice and tequila, the fish is coated in coarse breadcrumbs, which means it boasts a crispy crust after a quick deep-fry.

Guy’s makes a sweet-yet-spicy sauce with mango and chipotle peppers in adobo that does triple duty: as a marinade, as a basting sauce and as a serving sauce. There’s no doubt that this chicken packs a punch.
While peaches are not in season just yet, you can still go ahead and make this crave worthy dessert, since Guy’s recipe calls for frozen peaches.
A Parmesan topping adds crunch to Guy’s stuffed peppers, but it’s the sauce of sweet roasted tomatillos, creamy avocado and bold jalapeno that bring this satisfying dish to the next level.

Perfect for a hearty party appetizer, these top-rated wraps are filled with a chicken-veggie mixture and finished with crispy wontons.
As the weather starts to heat up, cool down with what Guy calls “a dessert in margarita form.” His tip for a perfectly chilled cocktail? Use crushed ice to cool the drink faster and give it a polished look.
