We have been very happy with the gulf shrimp and oysters being in season and have had boiled shrimp many times and purchased raw oysters too. Here are some raw oysters you can buy in a plastic container already shucked which we had with cocktail sauce.
Everything was so good we branched out to lobster tails on the grill.
Then pan seared scallops with parmesan sauce over pasta.
We also enjoyed shrimp scampi with fresh shrimp and we fixed oyster stew. It's a great time to be in Texas during shrimp and oyster seasons. It gets even better next month with Mardi Gras. A cajun place in town serves old fashioned cajun etouffee which is different than the creole etouffee which is what you see mostly. If we remember we will take a picture so you can see the difference.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo
Must admit - that does not appeal to me at all. But we are going to Sal's on the fifth and I plan to have me a good good sandwich.
ReplyDeleteLobster tails! Coming right over! Sounds like you guys are enjoying the area! We are just "enjoying" the snow! Looks nice on the mountains surrounding us!
ReplyDeleteMany ,many years ago when I lived in Houston, I would get the shrimp right off the boats, really good and cheap:))
