Show Us What You're Cooking! (SUWYC) - Volume 22, Summer 2021

Seafood Gumbo. Crawfish, shrimp and Andouille sausage. Had some frozen crawfish leftover from my bug boil a few months back. Wife (who is allergic to shell fish) was out of town visiting her sister..... so it was all for me

Made the seafood stock from 1/2 lb shrimp, the shells from the shrimp I used in the Gumbo, veggies + couple bottles of clam broth to help the broth along.

I like a dark Gumbo. So here is a pic of the roux just after adding the onion, bell pepper, celery and seasoning.

And the finished product. One of the best Gumbo's I've made.

[Panhead John]

Daayum man! Stellar looking!

[SheilaAnn]

Nice! Whenever I hear someone talking about roux, I can’t help but think of the book "who’s your mama? Are you catholic? Can you make a roux?"

It’s a Cajun/creole cookbook. And I’m stumped as to why I don’t own it.

Pork Carnitas

[Eric2662]

These are really gorgeous shots! That 2nd one especially with the close up of the pork.😋

[Dr. Pepper]

rgriffeath I'm pretty certain that I am not the only one who would like to know your carnitas methods, recipe, technique, secrets (SS number, credit card security numbers, DOB?)

[tamidw]

Looks great! One of my favorite ways to used pulled pork. Would love to know your seasonings for the meat.

Baby JHoskins requested some chimichurri, zucchini, and roast potatoes for her first dinner on the deck. So, I grabbed the four day old, with some help from my brother-in-law, and whipped this up.
tasty. No babies were harmed in the taking of this picture, although she has been introduced to the smell of charcoal

Pro Tip: Feed em every typa food ya safely can, afore they git old enough to say "I don't like that! "

Sometimes you do something completely random and it tastes phenomenal. I totally nailed this one. So wanted some tuna.....so found a frozen ahi tuna steak and defrosted it in water for 30 mins. Then wanted to marinate it Asian-style....so, what does a marinade have? Salt....oil....and acid. Okay.....2 tbl soy sauce, 2 tbl toasted sesame oil, and 2 tbl lime juice.

Marinate for 25 minutes. Get a cast iron skillet up to 500 F, splash in a little avocado oil, and then the tuna, 2.5 minutes per side.



With a very sharp knife (very sharp, else the tuna will tear I have found), slice gently. (Is this not lovely?)



Some steamed brocolli, dashed with sesame seeds, dried parsley, and granlated garlic, a little EVOO, and a bit of salt, topped with some shredded cheddar cheese. Accompanied by brown rice.

The sauce is some spicy Korean BBQ sauce.

Nailed it.

[troymeister]

Nice!!...I love it! Crunchy on the outside..Sashimi in the Middle!...The Best...

[Dr. Pepper]

Yep, nailed it! Gorgeous tuna.

[Hulagn1971]

That looks delicious!

Wife and I have been on vacation in Florida so I haven't been cooking much lately, though I was eating pretty well during that time period

Last night was our first night back, I made shrimp pad thai. Forgot garnish, was too hungry to care

[SheilaAnn]

Because when all you can pad Thai is think about……

[grantgallagher]

Did some beef short ribs on monday. Red oak and veterans beef rub. Came out great.

[troymeister]

Pan Fried Walleye (I Caught) Air Fried Truffle Parm Spiral Sweet and regular Potatoes, Cucumber and Tomato Salad from the Garden.

[Dr. Pepper]

troymeister Pan-Fried Walleye is still my favorite, from my youth fishing in WI, MN, Quetico. Did you catch these in the DesPlaines or Chicago River?

[SheilaAnn]

I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a 1000 times. I would chew my arm off for walleye or lake perch. I’ve checked online options and they are not portioned. I’m not going to buy a 10-25# block of fish. Can any of my Midwestern brethren help a sister out?

That looks so good! I wanna church fish fry!

[troymeister]

Dr. Pepper I was on vacation near Brainerd Minnesota. I wouldn’t eat any fish from the DesPlains or Chicago River unless I want to glow in the dark.. lol

[RonB]

Grilled chicken salad tonight. I grilled the chicken tenders and SWMBO made the salad.

[Mr. Bones]

Awesome Teamwork!

Beautimous platin, an pics, as well, Brother!

Be Sure to show to th Missus...

[Richard Chrz]

Needed an easy button, so I grilled a salad for dinner.

[RonB]

I like the way you think...

[Red Man]

My kinda salad!

[SammyJ]

Still on Vacation. I’ll be cooking again next week.

tonight’s Dinner got me all in knots

[tmaan235]

Everything looks so awesome!!
Just did a quick cook of some chicken legs to fill the void in the belly on the CrapMaster 2000. Lots of attention needed but it turns out ok.
It's just barely usable for anything except beef. It likes to run at 550 on the low setting, I added the thermometer. But what do you expect for $38 right? Best part is I can use it on my 2nd floor porch with impunity, no charcoal.
Turned out ok

[Jfrosty27]

I love it. The definition of improvisation. You make it work. Well done Pitmaster!
