Seafood; Oysters, Clams, Tiger Prawns, and Artichokes

Dudder

2nd cook. My mother in-law came home with a feast, so I fired up the XL.I did not put lobster in the title because she had them steamed (facepalm). 350 direct, BGE lump with a few chunks of mesquite. Added the clams first in a CI pot with garlic, onions, butter, and white wine, bout 15min w lid on. Atrichokes face down 10 min, then flipped. Added my prawns, back split on skewers, and oysters. Had a light buld and split my lobster and threw them on the last 5 minutes to give them some fire. Results : delicious, but my oysters were dry, didn't have enough fat or brine to keep them from drying out.

Looks Da--- Good.

Great cook

Looks great.   The oysters need only a few minutes.  Sounds like the basis for a great paella.

Will not let me edit out the dupe??

@ Richard FL yeah lesson learned.

@Td66snrf, I spent about 4 years lurking and the wife surprised me for my 31st; best gift ever. I can truly say the amount of knowledge and insight I have gained from this forum made the transition from gasser to this smoother. Still a learning curve but I am 100% forum taught, never been to an Eggfest, local store demo's, or even had food from an Egg before my first cook.

Dudder  I've been married 27 yrs and my mother in law never showed up with ingredients like that! It looks like you've got the grilling part down now try a low and slow.

Looks great. I wish we had better seafood here, I kiss the great readily available seafood in Louisiana.

TexanOfTheNorth

It all looks great! We love the grilled artichokes here but don't always have good ones at the store.

@Dudder-great cook and major points to the MIL for bringing such a grocery bag.  You have got this BGE well in-hand.  Enjoy!

Dudder

@td66snrf she is an awesome ML, what should I try for my first low and slow. Wanna do it on Thursday, my day off. Want it to be a huge piece of meat and I wanna get up early for some reason, hahah.

@CPARKTX @TexanOfTheNorth Pretty lucky living in So-Cal for food; avocados, chokes, and fresh seafood all year round. We have our problems, primarily political, but food we have got it made.

Dudder

Did  some burgers last night, no need for a new thread, they were delicious but my times got away from me. The ML likes em well done and I like medium-rare, everybody loved em but I wanted mine more pink. Went direct bout 500, 3 minutes a side and went until mine hit 140ish, but I stepped away to grab a beer, at 135, and shot to 145. Doohh.
Burgers 2lbs 80/20, 1 Tblsp Fish Sauce, 1 Tsp, 1 tblsp black pepper, 3 cloves garlic,1 egg, 3/4 C bread crumbs.

For your first low and slow pork butt. Very forgiving if things go sideways at some point.
