With thoughts of tiny fish in (on) my head I thought I would offer up a
dynomite recipe which should tantilize and titalate d'tastebuds of any fine diner.
Ingredients:
Vegatables
one bunch of green celery (five stix at least)
five or six carrot
two red onion
one red bell pepper
one green bell pepper
three or four jalapena peppers (you know dis gonna give it the kick ass hot)
a good handful of green string bean
Meat
ten (or more) jumbo shrimp (or tiger prawns)
1/2 lb. alaskan king crab meat (dungeness is optional)
Spices
1/2 teas. salt
teaspoon of black pepper
teaspoon of cayenne pepper (this dish gonna make your nose run)
two tablespoons oregano (more to taste)
two or three bay leaves
Other ingredients
1 1/2 stick butter
1/2 to 3/4 cup of flour
quart of burgandy wine (sauvignon if your feeling exspensive)
two can stewed tomatoes
rice (enough for as many servings as you need)
loaf of french bread
Preparations:
chunk up the celery (3/4 inch chunk)
disk up the carrots (leave em thick 1/2 inch at least)
cut the green beans on the diagonal 2 inch
dice the onions and the peppers
shell and deveine the shrimp
In a 5 1/2 qt. stew pot melt the butter and add the flour for the Roo
boil this until the roo is as brown as a dirty copper penny
add the stewed tomatoes and spices and stir and blend
pour in the whole bottle of wine (no dont sample it you need it all)
then add the vegatables and top off with water, bring to a boil
and then simmer for 1/2 hour stiring occaisionally. Finally add
the shrimp and crab meat and cook until pink and voila just serve
over a hot bed of steamed rice in a bowl for a superb meal.
The bread should be garlic buttered and with grated parmesean
cheese toasted in the broiler or oven to top off your culinary pleasure.
You might need a bottle or two of some good red wine to tame your
palette as this dish IS SPICEY but a hearty meal and extremely
satisfying....serves 4 to 6 with seconds no problemo!!!
(you'll definitely want to save some for tomorrow....its good twice)
Devil or triple this one up if you have a soup kettle and you
can serve a whole picnic crew.
SELAH....AMI
