I tried a new marinade for shrimp that was excellent. I inserted a slice of jalapeno in the shrimp, then wrapped it in bacon before grilling.

Also, made a homemade New England Clam Chowder for supper.

My apologies to our New England eggers. I used canned minced clams. We have clams down here, but they are expensive and I like to save them for linguini alle vongole.

Marinade recipe follows after pictures.

P.S. I probably wouldn't have posted, but I thought we needed a change of subject.

Marinate, Shrimp

As always great cook and presentation-but don't I remember revisionist history about Texas Clam Chowder or and I am totally missing the mark-thought it was in some history book

I'm going to report you to the moderators, BGE corp, the Pope, my neighborhood patrol guy and Zarlog, emperor of the planet DBag, sir, for posting food pictures on a riot forum. You should be ashamed for cooking delicious looking food when all hell is breaking lose.

You obviously were winking at the girl on the next row in high school history class, so you missed an important lesson.

When the conquistadors came up through Texas from Mexico, they learned to cook clam chowder from the Karankawa Indians and the Texas Rangers. On they went up the east coast to New England. It was there that they taught the native New Englanders how to cook clam chowder. It's all in the Texas history books.

@VI I bookmarked a recipe from late June posted by Howdy Doody, I've just been waiting for the right kind of weather. Howdy must be reading the same history books as you.

Hokie,

I don't like to think about Howdy Doody. Travis said something that cut me to the bone. He said "I knew Howdy Doody. Howdy Doody was a friend of mine. And, VI, you're no Howdy Doody".

I was devastated.

You should have reported him to the BGE moderator for those hurtful comments.
