Cajun Shrimp

6 slices bacon, diced
½ pound butter
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
¼ teaspoon basil
¼ teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon pepper, coarse ground
½ teaspoon oregano
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons Rex “Crab, Shrimp and Crawfish” Boil, (or other brand)
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 pounds shrimp

Preheat oven to 375°.

In a small frying pan, fry diced bacon until clear. Drain off excess bacon grease. Add butter and rest of ingredients except shrimp. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Place shrimp in an open baking dish, and pour sauce over the top. Stir and fold sauce into shrimp to coat all of the shrimp well. Bake in an uncovered baking dish for 20 minutes, stirring twice during the baking process to keep shrimp well coated with sauce.

Do not overcook shrimp.

Serve hot-over rice! You may peel the shrimp before eating but not before cooking. If the shrimp are really small you can eat them whole, except the tail fin.

Note: Have plenty of napkins as this dish can be messy to eat. But it is a very excellent dish!

6 slices bacon, diced ½ pound butter 2 tablespoons dijon mustard 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder ¼ teaspoon basil ¼ Continue Reading →

Fettucine Alfredo with Smoked Fish

6 ounces fettucine noodles
1 cup garden fresh or frozen peas
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup heavy cream or whipping cream
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
8 ounces smoked fish

Cook fettucine in 3 quarts of boiling water. Drain.
Meanwhile, boil peas in ½ cup water for 2 minutes. Drain.
Make alfredo sauce by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan. Stir in parmesan cheese, cream and parsley flakes. Heat just to boiling.
Break smoked fish into bite-size pieces and place in a steamer over hot water for about 2 minutes, just long enough to heat thoroughly.
Place hot noodles on a heated platter. Add peas, sauce and steamed smoked fish. Toss quickly and serve immediately.

Note: Though we generally cook the peas, it is equally tasty to add garden fresh peas uncooked.

Halibut Chowder

2 sticks butter
2 large white onions (Walla Walla onions work great!)
2 ½ to 3 cups celery, finely chopped
2 cups carrots, diced
4 cups red or white potatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons rosemary, ground, dried
2 tablespoons pepper, freshly ground
1 ½ tablespoons Lawry’s seasoning salt*
1 gallon whole milk**
2 to 3 pounds halibut,***cut into small cubes
3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

Melt butter in a 10 to 12 quart pot. Sauté vegetables in butter until tender. Stir frequently. Add seasonings. Add milk. Heat slowly. DO NOT BOIL. Stir constantly to avoid scorching.

Fold in halibut gently. Slowly bring back to serving temperature. Thicken with cornstarch mixed with ½ cup cold milk.

*A dash of paprika will give chowder a nice color equal to that of the Lawry’s seasoning – Which is salt (use a good French grey sea salt) with sugar and paprika added.

**Can use 1%, 2%, whole, half and half or canned milk. For added richness even sour cream can be used. Adjust cornstarch accordingly. Most time we use whole milk with some half and half.

***Good also using cod in addition to halibut.

2 sticks butter 2 large white onions (Walla Walla onions work great!) 2 ½ to 3 cups celery, finely chopped Continue Reading →

1 ½ pounds salmon, cut into ½ inch squares
fish seasoning*
2 ½ cups half and half

Over medium heat, add half and half, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Keeping the soup just under boiling, add instant potato flakes a little at a time until you get the consistency you prefer.

Serve chowder immediately, and enjoy!
