Do you still eat out ?

Oh yeah, I love them raw, grilled and also they are amazing deep fried!

Oysters?

I love oysters...raw is my fave, but love them grilled over fire too.

Mmm, I like mine with a tad of minced onions, cilantro, lime juice...and hot sauce, baby...

The reason being is if you just place the uncooked shrimp in the lime juice, it will have the texture of slimed slugs, no bueno. Flash boiling shrimp for a few seconds gives the shrimp that firmness that’s more palatable and pleasant.

I've eaten raw shrimp and your description of the texture is pretty apt (but I still enjoy them because I'm a bit of a raw meat foodie ). For a dish like this, I can see how flash boiling them would make them a better fit, it sounds delicious!

Oh, and oysters? Yes please!

Oh, my dear friend...shrimp ceviche is da bomb, dawg!!!

BTW, unlike regular fish ceviche, where the raw fish cooks under the lime juice...raw shrimp is flash boiled for a few seconds first...then cooled with ice...and finally set in lime juice.

That's what I was having difficulty with, using raw shrimp.

Question for all you chefs out there -- i'm looking in your direction Hec

When I make fresh sausage I fry it to golden brown in the frying pan on cooking oil-- when browned I fill the pan with water even depth with sausage, cover and simmer for 25-sh minutes … done

Was always thinking about trying to make it in the crock … does it come out any better ? … is it even worth it ? … do you have to brown first ?

You should brown it, otherwise it will come out all soggy.

[Hector]

Yes, I started it...guilty as charged...

Mmm I can't quite picture shrimp ceviche, but I like the idea.

Chicken, Shmicken. One of our favorite local haunts just added 3 of my favorite foods to their Take-Out/Delivery Menu for this weekend: Oysters, Shrimp and Scallops!

Oysters Galore!

"I must be dreaming."

[Confessional]

Hah!, look, I've politely resisted making any comments about mediocre, expensive, and egomaniacal chicken products since that other thing <poofed!>… dammit, I lost my tongue in my cheek again!

This is all clearly Hector's fault! Let's cook something… I could go for a table full of deliciousness and some toy talk!

Where have you been?

lol Totally missed that, thx.

[cjefferys]

Did this get political? Who started all this???

I want heads to roll...

Oops, I think it was me...

Yeah, and I piled on, guilty as charged.

(actually, I wasn't really looking at it from a political angle at all, just basic human rights and decency. I hope that those are still separate things in this world)

You might feel differently if they supported hateful and politically influential action against Latinos, as they have with the LGBTQ community.

I've had their food second-hand, before I was more aware. Yummy. But not worth my $$ or my conscience. I guess I don't have much of a sense of humor obout them, sorry.

I feel the same way, not worth my money or conscience (or time, considering the ridiculous lineups the local ones still have) And like I said, it's just a chicken burger, it can't be that much better.
