ckreef Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hey , am I in the North end in Boston when I look at this. Did someone throw down the gauntlet. Mediterranean cooking seems to be the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) @ckreef - reminds me of pea gravel. I used to swear that I was going to chip a tooth every time that I tried to eat it!! Maybe you reload shotgun shells with it and go bird hunting??
