Italian Surf and Turf - Copycat

Recommended Posts

For my copycat challenge entry on the Guru  I decided to do an Italian Surf and Turf cook. 

For the surf I copied John's wok shrimp scampi. I did add some tomatoes to the cook.

For the Turf and basic theme behind this cook I copied Smoke and Awe's Braciole  cook. 

I started with a nice refreshing summer drink - Peach Bellini. Of course if you went into Walmart you wouldn't know it was still summer as they are already putting out the fake Christmas trees - arggghh

I made up some homemade sauce.

A couple of needed extras to complete the meal.

Here is the wok shrimp scampi. This is my first and will be my last time doing a wok cook using a kamado for a heat source. Just because something works (and it did) doesn't mean you should do it. Kamados work good for a lot of different cooking configurations just not ideal for wok cooking and I own an outdoor propane wok burner.

The Braciole part of the meal. I really like the Grape Nuts substitution for bread crumbs. I will definitely do that substitution again. How else am I going to get rid of the box of Grape Nuts?   LOL

Served as a family plate. What a great meal. A big thank you to  John and Smoke and Awe for the inspiration.

Wow, that looks awesome, ck, absolutely delicious looking. :) :love3: and I'll tell you how to get rid of that Grape Nut cereal, it makes great ice cream, a favourite of mine and I have been thinking about making a batch. :)

It is awesome.
