Recipe: Spicy Cajun Shrimp
Spicy Cajun Shrimp is a light modification of a recipe called Barbecue Shrimp in the wonderful Jubilee cookbook. It’s a great way to use the one-pound bags of frozen shrimp which have been deveined but still have the shells on. … Continue reading
Food for Thought: Texas BBQ Posse
As we were reminiscing about good times with Vencil Mares, the latest newsletter from Texas BBQ Posse popped into our inbox. These are Dallas-based folks (many work for the Dallas Morning News) and since there is not all that … Continue reading
