Baked shrimp/prawns

I haven't had dinner yet and some of that food is looking GOOD.

Gears, that seafood is looking great. Wow, really fresh seafood - there is nothing like it.

Gulp, actually that steak with the holindasise looked pretty good too. Where is my chicken Keiv?

Uhh, I think he owns the restuarant that cooked that gumbo, so my guess is he made it...

Here's a gumbo recipe for you, in the meantime:

I'll gladly fall upon my sword, for OnlyCafe's Roux recipe and techniques.

sorry, I'm just a humble weekend warrior of the grill. Though I HAVE attended Cajun cooking school on a single night or two.

sorry for the delay, i was actually out to a restaurant tonight and ate their gumbo. also heard a terrific band called tumbleweed gumbo.

on to my cheaters roux. i brown the raw flour in a medium hot oven until it is a lighter shade of brown than a winchester rifle stock. this will give you an almost instant brown color cutting at least twenty minutes of stirring time off your roux.

i almost forgot to mention this step, the flour may get clumpy in the oven, you need to move it around with a spoon. after toasting the flour you should sift it to keep the roux smooth.

i use butter and oil for the fat, equal amount of browned flour. heat the fat, whisk in the flour, season as you go.
ham stock , chicken stock, whatever. add a little beer, or wine, whatever.

before i make the roux i usually fry a little bit of bacon to do the onions and peppers. it gets the skillet greasy and bacony first. add the celery.

did i already mention that this should all be done in a cast iron skillet?

add your vegetables to the roux cook a few minutes and add the stock.

sorry for the rambling reply.

Haven't done this in years, made my own home-made nachos.


Mondo Huge pile of chips/cheese/beef going into the oven must have been 5" tall. 3-4 layers deep and about a foot wide, that's an 11 x 17" cookie sheet for scale. put into a pre-heated Oven at ~350 for ~15-20 minutes.



I "roughly" followed this recipe, used a can of Hot Chilli instead of beans, and just a packet of Taco Meat spice mix instead of all these spice ingredients as I didn't have much time to prep, it turned out AWESOME.

Fresh home made salsa topping rocked the house............

Here's my main course tonight.



Tuna steaks, marinated in soy sauce, honey, wasabi, salt and pepper, then peppered some more, and seared in a really hot pan - cast iron, of course - for 30 sec each side. Remove steaks to cutting board, turn off burner. Pour used marinade into the still-hot pan and boil it thicker with residual heat. Slice steaks into 1/8"s, arrange, sauce.

Low calorie so goes well with a diet - my diet. Not low sodium or low sugar, though.

I just bought 2 pounds of Ahi tuna fresh, searing it tomorrow.
