Shrimp and Artichoke Sandwich

Shrimp is a staple in our diet and we always seem to have leftover ones in the fridge.  We try to come up with creative ways to use the shrimp.  This dish came about because it was lunch time, we were hungry, nothing was fixed and into the fridge we went.

There is really no recipe for this dish; it is a building of ingredients we had on hand.  In our opinion it turned out great – very clean and fresh tasting!

We always try to keep roasted garlic in olive oil on hand.  I always say we should own a garlic farm with the amount of garlic we use.   If you have never roasted garlic in olive oil, try it.  It keeps well, of course ours never last long enough to really know, and is good in almost everything.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Let’s Grill!

Summer is the grilling season, yet in Louisiana it is best when the weather is cool and being outside is enjoyable.  Such was the case when we were RVing at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, LA.  It was the last cool snap before record heat and we decided to enjoy every minute of the Spring weather.  We had fresh vegetables and shrimp from the Red Stick Market in Baton Rouge and we grilled them with just olive oil and seasoning.  It was as fresh as the cool breezes!

Cajun ShrimpPort Allen, LA – Laurie and I are fans of farmers markets and the fresh treasures they hold. On our last visit to the Red Stick Farmer’s Market in Baton Rouge, LA, we purchased fresh shrimp direct from the shrimper, carrots from the farmer who grew them, along with parsley and green onions. Using these fresh ingredients along with others we created the following recipe.
