So I am back in the kitchen tonight. I was going to cook last night, but the doctor put me on rest. I am battling a cast of Mastitis and it really hurts.
On tonight's menu we have steamed shrimp, roasted potatoes, and asparagus.
Steamed Shrimp
Derrick will mix together a bunch of herbs and sprinkle the herbs over the shrimp and steam for 2-5 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
Roasted potatoes*
2 small potatoes per person
1-2 tables spoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cube potatoes and put into a bowl. Add olive oil and salt and pepper and toss until the potatoes are covered. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are a golden brown.
*I usually use Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning.
Asparagus and Red Wine Vinegarette
1 bunch of asparagus
2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbs soy sauce
Bring a skillet of water to a boil. Meanwhile take the asparagus and bend them until they break. The breaking point is where the asparagus turns tough and unappetizing. Place the asparagus into the boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain water and add olive oil, garlic, red wine vinegar, and soy sauce. Toss until covered and serve.
I would ask what Derrick will be putting on the shrimp but he won't know until he looks in the spice cabinet.
