Some Shrimp Scampi, Scallops and Escargot

Florida Grillin Girl

First, a pretty sunset. I wish I could get to cooking before it gets dark, but that's just too early.



Set the table up to eat outside, if it's not too chilly.



The egg on the balcony, chugging up to 400 dome:



I made shrimp scampi in my 2 CI curved skillets (Christmas gift). First time making it this way.

In a skillet on the stove, I sauteed some chopped onions in olive oil 3 minutes. Next added fresh garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cooked a little and added the juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 cup white wine, 1/2 cup seafood stock (mine was homemade). Reduced 5 minutes. Then I took it off the stove and poured it over the salt and peppered shrimp waiting in the CI, then cooked the shrimp on the egg.

Cooked them til just slightly pink, then flipped them over





My son wanted his shrimp served on pasta, with some fresh parsley and cheese on top



The rest was just eaten right out of the skillet, along with some garlic bread to dip up the delicious juices~



Next some scallops. I sauteed some garlic and finely chopped onions in butter, and poured this over the scallops, lightly dusted some bread crumbs on top.



Then it was time for some escargot~ I know some people are grossed out by them, but these were GOOD





Next I was going to egg 3 lobster tails, but after all this, we were full. So those will wait for another day (figures, cause I ran all over town to 4 stores to find the lobster tails!)

My new wall hanging above the mini egg



Thanks for looking.

Faith, shrimp, scallops, and escargot.......what a treat! Everything looks delicious.

I trust you had some crusty bread to sop up all that garlic butter.

Florida Grillin Girl

Hoss, I hear ya clearly that there are just a few select and very special people that likes our baloney and our esgargots! I would even eat them at the same sitting, especially if I was sitting with YOU!
