Creole-Style Barbecued Shrimp

December 9, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I love a popular Creole dish from Louisiana called “barbecued” shrimp. It’s a bit of a misnomer however, because the shrimp isn’t grilled or barbecued, nor does it come with anything resembling regular BBQ sauce, The “barbecue” sauce here is buttery and spicy. I’m not sure how it got its name, but barbecued shrimp sure is delicious!  Ingredients: ½ tsp. cayenne pepper … [Read more...]

BBQ Shrimp Po Boy

July 1, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Whenever I visit New Orleans, a must-stop is an out-of-the-way joint that my NOLA friend Jamie introduced me to many years ago. It’s a funky Mid-City restaurant and bar called Liuzza’s By the Track, so named since it’s located adjacent to the Fairgrounds and Race Course. I make the pilgrimage to Liuzza’s for their amazing Barbecue Shrimp Po Boy, which is a hollowed out, hot and … [Read more...]

Shrimp Creole

January 29, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I’ve tried dozens of different recipes for shrimp Creole in the past. However, this one - which is based on a NY Times recipe - is my wife’s favorite, so it’s become my go-to shrimp Creole recipe.

Shrimp Saag Recipe

Whenever we go to an Indian restaurant, my wife’s favorite dish to order is shrimp saag. What is saag? Well, it’s a leaf-based type of curry eaten in India, made with leafy veggies like spinach, mustard greens, basella, collard greens, or a combination of those. A popular version is saag paneer, which is creamy and made with fresh Indian cheese called paneer. This recipe is for … [Read more...]

Chinatown-worthy Kung Pao Shrimp Recipe

March 30, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

In the past couple of decades, kung pao chicken and kung pao shrimp have become among Americans' favorite Chinese dishes, second probably only to fried rice and cream cheese-filled wontons. In this country, kung pao is often loaded up with veggies: carrots, celery, onions, zucchini and such. In Szechuan, China, however, it's traditionally a much more basic dish. And, that's … [Read more...]
