The Ten Minute Kitchen: Coconut Shrimp

This was my first attempt at making coconut shrimp. And I have no regrets. It did not come out as well as it could have, but it was still pretty tasty. The recipe takes less than 20 minutes to make, and is great if you are crunched for time. Of course, the marinade that the shrimp where done in prior to being placed in the oven with coconut was to die for.

 

I love shrimp and seafood, if by this post that is not immediately clear. I can’t, however, take credit for this recipe as it is courtesy of BrokeAss Gourmet. I love food blogs such as that. The whole time I was making the shrimp, I was sipping on Guinness. Guinness is not really one of my favorite beers. I would not choose it over Bud Light or an ice cold Corona at a party. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the Irish; I just don’t share their taste in alcohol.

French Cooking Class

 

Here are some pictures from my French Cooking class a few weeks ago!! Grougeres, Crepes, Summer Vegetable Soup. It was all either really good or I was really hungry. Delicious Man…

I know that I hope and plan to make grougeres again in the near future.

Misc. Items

 

These are the only items I have for you right now. I had more pictures, but for some reason, I am having difficulty uploading them. In the meantime, enjoy what you can of the pictures above.

Spoon Bread

Well, I just found out that I will need to have my wisdom teeth pulled. The date is scheduled for next week Wednesday, July 3rd. My goodness, can you believe next week is July 3rd? What’s more than that? I can’t believe that my birthday is exactly one month from today.

Well, with my wisdom teeth being pulled and all, I only have a few days left to eat real food, before I have to subject to pudding, jello, apple sauce, and soups. I need to get prepared for that.

This recipe is courtesy of a colonial cookbook of mine. I had all the ingredients in my kitchen already, and the spoon bread did not take long to cook.

The primary ingredients included: milk, cornmeal, salt, sugar, butter, water, eggs and baking powder. You can’t forget the baking powder. I was a little on edge when I placed the batter into the oven to bake. I was unsure of how it would come out. But, of course, as you can see, it came out lovely. To perfection I might add, with its golden coloring on top. I’m not a fan of cornmeal or corn bread or corn muffins, but this spoon bread, was not half bad.

 

And here is some food for thought. I just learned of a spoonbread festival that takes place annually in Kentucky. Check out last years link here: http://spoonbreadfestival.com/
