Great American Seafood Cook Off
Noelle and I like seafood. James absolutely hate it and hates to even have it cooked when he is around. We only make seafood if he will not be around for dinner and we can air out the house before he gets home. We really like to experiment and try new seafood and new recipes on these occasions.
We have found out that Noelle does not like shrimp unless it is deep fried. This was discovered when I had bought a huge bag of shrimp. I ended up making a spicy breading and frying them so she would eat them. It was the best fried shrimp I have ever had if I say so myself. Of course we are not eating flour right now so that is out of the question right now. We have developed a new no carb recipe though. We have created a wannabe crab puff. We love the crab puffs at Chinese restaurants but yes we can not have them. So we mixed the crab meat and cream cheese and create a lettuce wrap with it. It is pretty good.
I found a pretty neat recipe on a Great American Seafood cook off website. They have five recipes up for vote. Three of them have grilled shrimp so I would be the only one that would eat it. One of them has the skin of the fish facing up on the plate so it did not look good to me. I chose Maryland - Chef Tafari Campbell's Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots. I do not know if we would like Rockfish. I do not even know if it is readily available in our area. It is always better to use seafood that is from your area. Not only is it more fresh but it also helps out your area.
If you want to check out the five recipes go to www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com and you can also cast your vote for which one you prefer. While you are there you can also enter your name in a drawing for a trip to Trip to New Orleans.
