    @fishlessman - could you share your Mexican shrimp cocktail recipe?

    You had posted one a while back, which I made, and loved. But, I haven't been able to find the thread where you posted it. 

    basic recipe.  added some peppers this time, red yellow green and some red onion for more color. used 2 pounds red argintinian 16 count shrimp this time and boiled for 3 minutes instead of 2 per the shrimp directions, they didnt clay up with the lime finish so will slightly undercook them from now on

    I would appreciate this, too.  It's too hot to grill or even cook in the A/C, and I have a cuke, an avocado, some tomatoes and a bag of frozen shrimp...

    This was only a 1" T-bone and I was worried it would overcook before I achieved a sear on both sides. It seared so fast the inside had only hit 60F.  I had to drop the grate down to the bottom so it didn't obliterate the crust to give it time to hit 100F.  This thing would be a game changer for SV. 
    I’ve done a reverse sear on this thing three times so far.  For the low and slow portion, 225 deg until internal temp of 120 (first time on the egg indirect, second time on the egg direct on top level of adjustable rig, third time in the oven at 200 deg).  Then seared 60 to 90 seconds on each side.  All three turned out great!

    @MasterC - masterful cook with that brisket.  Getting a baby packer like that and delivering is a note-worthy cook.  Congrats-great plate.

    Caveman-the best char you can get.
    I can almost feel the multitude of textures - a soft, rich interior and that satisfying crunch on the outside.

    The recipe fish posted was outstanding when I made it with shrimp. 

    Would love to see/hear how it turns out with octopus.

    I’ll post it, but it won’t be just octopus.  Some good ones I’ve had are a mix of shrimp, octopus (chopped small) and even a little crab meat.  It’s funny, the recipes online are all very similar, more so than you get with many recipes.  Some call for orange soda which seems a bit strange, but the core is all the same.  And now I’m hungry.
    Love you bro!

    Sounds even better. Does the octopus get grilled/cooked prior to adding it in, or does it get "ceviche-ed" in the mix?

    I just bought the precooked tentacles at Costco, I was thinking I might put a quick char on them, but I’ll have to see how they are after I defrost them - the tougher they are, the smaller I’ll chop them, but when I’ve had it before it’s been ~1/2” pieces, like the avocado.  I’ll precook the shrimp too, chop some, leave some whole.


    Love you bro!

    Beef, or pork?  I normally don't like heavy meals in this heat, but for some reason right now I could polish off 3 plates like that!  Yum.

    That reminds me of this recipe, which is a favorite of mine. Is yours close?
