It's been tradition around here for the last several years to get some wild caught Gulf Shrimp from my cousin's in South Texas for my Super Bowl Party. Since the Saints were in it this time around, some friends and I definitely thought it would be fitting to have a New Orleans themed party.... much like most of the rest of the world did, I'm sure. So we got 5 beautiful pounds of 10/15 brown Gulf Shimp shipped in from Riviera Red's Seafood (http://www.shrimpfishcrab.com/).
Here was the menu:
Shrimp Boil - shrimp, smoked sausage, potatos, onions, carrots, corn
Jambalaya in the crockpot
Bread Pudding in another crockpot - try this... even if just to make your house smell unreal!
Fried Oysters
Fried Catfish
Raw Oysters
Pulled Pork sammies - Colin used his Memphian skills the day before and smoked up about 6 lbs. of butt
Homeade slaw
We had this house of mine smellin' like an Oyster Bar, but it was worth it. Super good time, and nice to see the Saints perfom well and bring it home to their deserving fans.
That should mark the end of the gluttony season for this guy. It generally starts at Thanksgiving and ends at the Super Bowl. Probably sounds familiar to most Americans. I'm looking forward to getting some flies tied this week, and heading to the Big Horn at the end of the month. Hopefully we'll get lucky with some decent weather and hungry trout.
