Not a gumbo but a dipping sauce that is great. My wife's recipe
One small clove of garlic
4 or 5 hot peppers (the small thai chilli type)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
2 teaspoon of Lime juice
1/3 cup of water

smash the garlic and pepper and chop it real fine then stir in the rest of the ingredients.
add or subtract the peppers to suite your taste. once you start and it is a little to warm for your taste the only way to put the fire out in your mouth is to drink your beer and eat another shrimp dipped in the sauce. :mrgreen:

Not so much a recipe as rather something a little... different! This was passed onto our family years ago from a professional Crayfishing family back in Perth - Western Australia. The combination seems to bring out the best from the Lobster, and is great on a hot day. I know it may sound a little "odd" but seriously - give er a go! :thumbsup:


LOBSTER / PINEAPPLE SANDWICH

Cut 2 slabs of fresh thickly cut French Bred - buttered.
Tinned Pineapple - pieces or rings - it don't matter!
Lobster meat - we boil ours in salt water - seems to keep the Caribbean Lobster's meat here in Cayman nice and sweet.

And of course - pair with a cold beer! :beer:

My favorite mustard dipping sauce. Also works great on burgers!!

4 Tsp Dry English Mustard -Coleman's
1 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tsp A-1 sauce
1/8 Cup Half and Half
1/8 Tsp Salt
Beat the dry mustard and mayonnaise together for 1 minute. Add the
remaining ingredients and beat until the mixture reaches a creamy
consistency. Chill.


If you have ever been to Miami, you may recognize this flavor as Joe's Stone Crab mustard sauce.

Put in fridge to chill.

On to the sweet succulent shrimp of Prince William Sound. You guys can use store bought :mrgreen: Half a pound will do???

Image

A little Lucky Louie recommended shrimp boil.

Image

I bring it up to a boil then wait 1 minute. Drain and chill. Peel cut into halves.... Save a few whole for presentation.

Lay a bed of One large Romaine leaf and some hand shreded on plate.

Place Four Avocado halves on Romaine bed. (My luck these had small seeds needed a larger cavity).

Image

Added some hard boiled egg and sliced tomato for effect...... (Makes Carol smile).

Place Shrimp and Salsa filler into the Avacado.

Image

Carol's a dipper so I put the Aioli sauce on the side. Dust the top with Konriko spice :mrgreen:

Image

Image

Myself I like the drench it method.

Image

Some Sun Flower seeds and a heavy dose of Konriko.

Image

Don't tell Carol but I like eating mine with Corn chips :popcorn:

Though it may sound complicated it really is not and takes only a half hour.

Hope you try and enjoy.

That is a definite must try! I think I know where to find a few of those shrimp, too. I do think that I will have to boil up an extra pound to eat while I prepare. Energy food, you know! :beer:

Pan seared scallops

#8

Post by waterdog247 »

This recipe needs fresh scallops or it won’t work. Make sure if you are buying them, you ask if they have been soaked in brine. You will never be able to get a sear on wet-soaked scallops.

Bring a cast-iron pan up to medium-high heat. Add a drop or two of water to the pan. It should skitter and dance around. If it pops and sizzles, and then is gone, the pan is too hot. You want your drop to dance around for about 5-10 seconds.
Now it’s time to add your oil. I use a couple tablespoons of peanut oil, because it has a high smoke point, and you get a good sear. You can use butter as well, but you’ll have to lower the temp just a little bit. Add the oil and let it heat for about 5 minutes.

While you’re waiting for the oil to heat, pat your scallops dry. That way they won’t spatter at you when you place them in the oil. Sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt on both sides. Once the oil is ready, place your scallops in the pan with plenty of space between them. I use a 12 inch cast iron pan, and usually only cook 6-8 scallops at a time.

Cook for no more than two minutes per side. They should be light, almost translucent in the center, and not at all rubbery. Remove them from the pan, and let rest on a papertowel.

While you are letting your scallops rest, whisk up a little herbed butter sauce to go with them.

3 tbs unsalted butter, sliced into six equal pieces
1 medium shallot finely diced
1/4 cup dry wine
1/8 cup finely chopped parsley
1/8 cup finely chopped chives
1/4 tsp finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Bring the pan back up to medium heat and add one piece of the butter and the shallots. Sauté about 1 minute or until they start to turn translucent. Add the wine, simmer until reduced by half. Add the herbs and lemon zest and reduce heat to low. Add the remaining butter, and don't stop whisking until the butter melts. Place the scallops into the pan. Cover the scallops in the sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove and plate after 1 minute, or the scallops are warm.

Serve with steamed asparagus, cranberry and white raisin wild rice pilaf, and a bottle of Columbia Crest Reserve Chardonnay.

Crab Cake Burgers with SL Dave's Mustard Dipping Sauce :thumbsup:

Though I could travel up a north and trap my own Dungeness Crab. I feel it is definitely easier and cheaper to find locally. I found em at a Asian market...... 4 decent size Dungies for around 14 dollars.

Image

Those buggers are fast and wanted a piece of Mojo. I chilled them down to slow them up a bit. The cleaning commenced :shocked: Carol would have been appalled. Have a bad day at the office this was stress relief arrrr arrr arrr.

Image

Image

Steam them up....... 20 minutes.

While steaming I took the time to chop a small Onion and saute in butter till translucent and tender. Let cool down.

Time to prepare The Crab Cake Mix, Crack 2 Eggs, 2 1/2 teaspoons of Worcestershire Sauce, 1 teaspoon of Paprika, 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, 2 heaping tablespoons of Sour Cream. Two slices of Wheat Bread ( remove crust ) chop into 1/2 inch squares, 5 tablespoons of Corn Meal, Time to add cooled Sauted Onions. Mix together to make a paste cover and put in Refridgerator.

20 minutes ..... "ding" cool down the Steamed Dungess Crab. While waiting to cool down I made SL Dave's Mustard Dipping Sauce. viewtopic.php?f=48&t=3037#p24455

Time for a Crab meat picking Party....... Dang 4 Crabs made about 9 cups of meat :thumbsup:

Image

For me I mix the Crab meat with the Crab Meat Mix in a separate bowl one patty at a time. I like big chunks of Crab Meat in my cakes.

Image

Image

A trick I use when flipping patties that are a little loose. I make them on 2 sheets of Aluminum foil it is easier to flip the Crab Cake.

Form the Crab Cake Patty and bread on side. I used a Corn meal and corn Flake mix. Flip and bread the other side.

Image

One teaspoon of butter in a hot skillet. Fry 3 minutes a side. When the first side is done I start to toast a hamburger bun.

Image

Now place on Hamburger Bun and add your favorite condiments. Lettuce, Tomato, Pepper Jack cheese, Avocado and Sl Daves Mustard Dipping Sauce :thumbsup: Suit to your own Taste's
