Several cajun restaurants serve this, but can't find a recipe for it. Normally the ingredients include shrimp, pepper jack cheese, tasso, and bacon.....

    If you have big shrimp you can butterfly it, place a strip of pepperjack cheese inside and wrap it in bacon or prosciutto and grill it. I like to put a thin strip of jalapeno inside as well. My favorite way is to put a mess of shrimp in a cast iron skillet or dutch oven. coat liberally with a favorite spice rub. pour olive oil on top and break up a stick of butter and place on top. Put on egg and stir until all shrimp are pink. Messy and delicious. Make sure you have a loaf of crusty bread for soppin!!!

    GenesGrill,[p]The best shrimp I had was at the Pappadeaux in TX. I've tried to emulate it as best as possible.[p]-butterfly your jumbo shrimp, add a thin slice of jalapeno and a thin slice of your favorite cheese, gruyere or another hard cheese works well, I par cook the bacon so it doesn't take too long and then wrap it around the shimp a couple times and then toothpick 'em or skewer 'em and put them on the grill. I have yet to master the garlic clarified butter that goes with it, but I am working on it. Any suggestions would be great.[p]Hope this is what you are looking for, they are amazing.[p]-mojopin[p]

    GenesGrill,
    As stated, open the shrimp, add the sliver of jalapeno, some pepper jack; wrap with some par-cooked bacon and onto the Egg. I just served with some melted butter - OUTSTANDING.[p]2006_06116_13Food0006.jpg[p]6903633f.jpg[p]2006_06116_13Food0008.jpg[p]2006_06116_13Food0009.jpg

  • mojopin,
    I have for many years made the indian version of ghee. Take a pound or so of butter, unsalted and place in a small pan and bring to a slow boil. This brings out the solids, strain through a cheese cloth and the remaining liquid will have a buttery taste and keep in the refrigerator for many months. Great on steaks at a high temperature also.

  • BurntRaw,
    Looks good!
