ckreef Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 8 shrimp @1.29 lbs. That's a full size dinner plate Now that I have your attention let's get on with dinner. We'll get back to the shrimp in a minute. We started by making 2 small pies for desert. Frozen Rainer cherries from last year and fresh blueberries. Made a few ABT's and some green beans. Now back to the shrimp. I pulled the meat out and layed it back on the shell. A quick slit to butterfly it open then stuff it with a crab meat mixture. To round this meal out we have USDA Prime first cut NY strips. There you have it. A fantastic 4th of July meal. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to balance the meal out Early morning July 4th we ventured into a high end grocery store. I just couldn't stop myself it all looked so good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amusedtodeath Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Outstanding!!! We've been enjoying those shrimp from Fresh Market also... I love the big ones. Like little lobsters. What did you season your green beans with? They look tasty. So do the pies. Hell, everything looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I go in there my wallet cries as I walk out the door - LOL I found a citrus herb grinder at Fresh Market. Pretty good stuff. That, a little of key lime white balsamic and a little butter. The beans were really good. The whole meal just came out perfect. It's a good feeling when you really hit it right all around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Nicely done, ckreef - that's how you do "surf & turf!" I went into full blown depression when our Fresh Market closed here. Talk about Manic-Depression, as I was on Cloud 9 when it opened here, only to have it close a little over a year later! Now I have to bootleg my Duke's mayo back every time I visit the South. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
