August 6, 2015

I am looking forward to the Great American Seafood Cookoff taking place on Saturday during the Louisiana Restaurant Association's annual Foodservice & Hospitality Expo here in New Orleans -- good luck to Chef Michael Brewer! Sunday, that stage is turned over to 4-H teams from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Arkansas; they will also be preparing dishes featuring seafood. I am acting as co-MC, and looking forward to some creative, innovative dishes. If you're attending the expo, look me up; I'd love to say hello.

	Hot and Spicy Shrimp If, like me, you keep frozen shrimp on hand at all times, and, like my husband, keep a stash of light beer on hand at all times, you most likely have everything you need to make this dish, including the scant 20 minutes it takes to pull it together.

	Pan-Roasted Pork Chops These chops need to be brined for a full 24 hours; after that, they cook in about 15 minutes, most of that in the oven. Turn on the exhaust fan and cover the smoke detector, because they're going to generate some smoke for the brief time they're on the stovetop. Click to fo rward this email and recipes.

	Crispy Fish Tacos Use any white firm-fleshed fish for this recipe; the fish is cut into strips, then battered and fried. Make a fresh salsa using your favorite ingredients; serve with lots of lime and extra hot sauce. Click to forward this email and recipes.
