Cajun Shrimp Loaded Baked Potato

This is not my recipe nor is it my photo. I don't like seafood but this was posted in a facebook group by another member. I thought I would share it here for you seafood lovers!

4 large potatoes
½ lb. medium shrimp, peeled & deveined, leaving tail on (save shells for stock)
½ cup crawfish tail meat
8 oz Italian 6 cheese blend, shredded
2 tbsp. cooking oil
olive oil
Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Cajun Seasoning, to taste
Sherry Cream Sauce

2 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 medium shallots, diced
¼ cup brandy, flambéed (ignite) is optional
2 cups sherry wine
1 cup shrimp stock
¼ cup crawfish juice, drained from crawfish packaging
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup crawfish tail meat
½ cup green onions, sliced for garnish

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter, garlic and shallots. Sautee lightly for about 2 minutes; add brandy and flambé (ignite), stirring constantly.
Add the wine, shrimp stock and crawfish juice and reduce by half.
Add heavy whipping cream and continue cooking.
When the sauce is at a smooth consistency, stir in remaining butter and mix well.
Add remaining Crawfish tail meat and cook for another 2 minutes. (The sauce should have the consistency of Alfredo Sauce.)
Hint: If sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little chicken broth. If sauce is too runny, thicken it by adding more heavy whipping cream until the desired consistency is reached.
Spoon some of the sauce over each potato then top with the cheese.
Bake the potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
Plating:
Divide the sauce amongst 4 plates, spooning it directly onto the middle of the plate.
Add the baked potato to the center of the plate then spoon a generous amount of sauce over each potato and garnish with the green onions.

Makes 4 Servings

When You Don't Have Evaporated Milk

 What do you do when you don't have evaporated milk for a recipe? Or, in my case, you open it and it has gone bad? I was right in the middle of making my pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving when I opened my evaporated milk and it was chunky and smelled funky! Oh no! What to do, what to do! I know, I will google it!

 If you don't have any, make your own:
 To produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of regular milk down until it becomes 1 cup. In many recipes, evaporated milk may also be replaced with a combination of whole milk and half-and-half. Substitute 1 ½ cups of cream or half and half (or a combination of the two) for the evaporated milk. You can also use milk (any kind from whole to skim). When doing it this way, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch in with the sugar and spices to help the pie set up. 

 Watch for more tips as I run into more dilemmas!  Until next time...........

Awesome Grilled Pork Chops

These grilled pork chops will have friends and family declaring you the king (or queen) of the grill! These easy-breezy pork chops are a keeper, thanks to an easy rub that's made from seasonings you already have!

The Hubby used 4 - 1in. thick boneless pork chops, butterflied them and applied the rub all over. They came out juicy, flavotful and perfectly charred!

4 1in thick pork chops
3 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients into a bowl. Sprinkle and rub in to both sides of the chops. Place on grill and cook until internal temperature of 145*f.

Per one pork chop: Fat 18g Carbs 5.9g Fiber 2g Protein 30g

Stove Top Easy Cheesy Chicken Bake

This recipe calls for Stove Top stuffing but you can use any brand. Also, I substituted the broccoli florets for a broccoli, cauliflower, carrot blend because I didn't have broccoli florets. While I was eating this, I thought it would also taste good with corn mixed in.

Creamy and cheesy comfort food. Easy and quick to make!

Prep: 10 minutes Total: 40 minutes

Stove Top Easy Cheesy Chicken Bake

6 oz. Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 1/2 lb. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1 pkg. (14oz) frozen broccoli florets, thawed, drained
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 400.

Prepare stuffing as directed on package.

Combine chicken and broccoli in 13x9 baking dish. Stir in soup, milk and cheese; top with stuffing.

Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is done and casserole is heated through.
