Simply Marvelous Shrimp

When I opened my super fast shipped season-all sample from Big Brother Smoke, there was this other baggie, labelled seafood. Well, I had to try this, along with the season-all. So, what to do. Shrimp with the seafood rub and maybe some cornbread, sort of a riff on shrimp and grits.

The shrimp were marinaded in a mix of clarified butter and 1T of the seafood rub. After 5 minutes, the shrimp were laced onto some skewers and dusted with more of the seafood rub. Onto a hot fire, direct over hot coals, the tails burned off, I mean hot. Then I added them to some melted onions, a splash of sherry and plated with a little butter and flat leaf parsley.

Prior to this, some green beans were sauteed in oil and garlic, then 1t of Simply Marvelous season-all. To finish, the beans received a splash of sherry and a little butter.

The shrimp was served on cornbread, home made, with roasted red bell peppers and what were labelled jalapenos, they taste sort of like jalapenos, but, milder than I had hoped. None the less, honey and 2T of the Season-all was also added and it was cooked in a skillet, then coarsley crumbled and the shrimp served on top.

This was a good dinner. I ate several of the shrimp alone to taste the rub, which was very good, had a mild bite with a very good spectrum of flavors, it provided a very subtle accompaniement to the seafood, sodium levels were also nicely done. I think if I sauteed up a batch if shrimp, clams or crab in this stuff, it would be a top seller at any gathering.

Skillet corn bread, forgot this image.

Thanks everyone.

Nice eats, Bob. What is that cold beverage you have?

I think your package consisted of the Sweet and Spicy and Seafood blend. I am just sayin :biggrin:

Yes, but, how about those brand placements though?

Oh, the cold beverage was a Lagunitas 'Little Sumpin Extra' Ale. In most cases there will be a Stone Brewing or Lagunitas Brewing ale involved if there is a ale showing. This one has a nice bitter edge and medium malt quality that I figured would go well with the shrimp and rub flavors.
