*** Spicy Phoenix Shrimp

UPDATED!

Prep work

Season your pan with your hots!


Lard or bacon grease woks best when seasoning cast iron never user Olivie oil or other liquid oils it just does not get the effect on the metal.

1. Heat the oven to 250F - 300F
2. Add in any spice you like.
3. Coat the pan with lard or bacon grease.
4. Put the pan in the oven. In 15 minutes, remove the pan & pour out any excess grease. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 2 hours.



Chopped Veggies


1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
3 chipotle peppers (I used caned)
1 cup of crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup of green peas
1/2 cup of tomato juice
S and P to taste
honey to taste
Extra hots if you like too

Peel, clean, and rinse the shrimp.
Strain out any access water and add them directly to the simmering sauce.

The finished product

Slacker post

So I have been slacking on my food blog so i am going to do a post off!


First

Flawless omelet
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese ( I used mozzarella)

I really just threw it together so recipe might be off, but I was really happy how it came out not one brown spot on it. Hence the name...

Grilled Stuffed Onions

Hollow out your onions with an ice cream scoop

I soak mine in water for 12 hours before I stuff them

Stuffing
1 garlic clove
4 OZ of Feta Cheese
7-10 pounds of spinach
1 red pepper chopped.
8 OZ of ground lamb.
S and P to taste

Stuff and Grill

You can use indirect heat if you want the onions to slow cook. You could also smoke them. I like the char them up so I use direct heat.

Spinach and Strawberry salad!

This is a favored summer salad!

A few years back I was dating a vegetarian. I was making Mardi Gra Shrimp for her family, and I also wanted to make something special for her. This is what I decided on and she enjoyed it.

7 ounces of strawberries
1 lb of baby spinach
4 ounces of Feta cheese.
Rinse the spinach in cold watter and set aside.
Rinses Strawberries and slice them to desired thickness I do mine .25"

Dressing.

2 tbs of brown sugar.
.5 cups of balsamic vinegar
.25 cups of extra virgin olive oil.
Salt and Pepper to taste
2-3 fresh strawberries. Depends on how much sweetness you like,

I wizz up the strawberries oil and Balsamic in a food processor.

Plate as shown below

Vegetable Pakora

Chickpea Flour (Besan) 1 cup
All purpose flour 1/2 cup
Ground Cumin 1 teaspoon
Coarsely Groung Coraander 1 tablespoon
Salt 1 1/2 teaspoon
Chopped Green Chillies (Jalapeno) 3-5
Water 1/2 to 1 cup
Potato Sliced thin
Cauliflower Sliced thin
Spinach
Onion sliced thin

Batter
Mix both flours
Add spices and chillies
Slowly add water
Mix well so there are no lumps. You want the batter to be runny but able to coat the back of a spoon.














Coat potatoes and fry till a golden brown.

When prepping the spinach and onion make so to heavily coat them or the oil will pull them apart.

Fry in oil.





Plate them and enjoy. they can be frozen and reheated in an oven at 350 for 8-10 min.

Fresh Pasta!

1 Clove of garlic ( minced)
Fresh basil ( 1-2 TSP)
Fresh cracked peppercorns ( 1 TSP)
8 ounces of Semolina flour
8 ounces of white all purpose flour
2 eggs ( if you reduces the amount of whites the pasta will be richer. I just use the yokes)

On a nonstick surface make a well with the combined flours add the beaten eggs and gently mix in flour from all sides until the dough becomes homogeneous. At this point kneading the dough on a surface sprinkled with flour. If at any point the dough seems to dry and crumbly add luke warm water. I have been told you need to let the dough rest but I always get right to it.

If you have a Imperia the next steps are easy. Start at the highest setting and flatten the dough and continue till it is as the desired thickness then cut.

If you don’t have a Imperia. Get out your rolling pin and get started.

Fresh pasta is the only way to go.
