Voodoo Shrimp

Written By: Chris - Dec• 17•14

We were having our daughter Michelle over for dinner and it’s rare that she ever gets to join Bill and I alone.  She enjoys shrimp and she’s really been into Jalapeno’s lately, so I thought of this dish that I had seen earlier last summer while watching Bobby Flay being “taken down”, which is rare!

Oceanport was a little gem of the Keyport waterfront, thats 22 of their 25 businesses were damaged in Superstorm Sandy in late 2012.  The borough’s waterfront was covered in about 14 feet of storm surge from the Hurricane lange youtube videos herunterladen.  Months later, residents gathered to watch celebrity Chef Bobby Flay take on Keyport Chef Andrew Araneo, of Drew’s Bayshore Bistro, in a “throwdown”-style cook-off to raise awareness for the “Stronger than the Storm” campaign.  Flay took on Araneo’s signature dish, Voodoo Shrimp, which is shrimp in a spicy Worcestershire cream sauce served over jalapeno corn bread.

I had to do some searching to see what goes into this NJ cuisine because it’s different than the typical Midwestern dish and it had been quite some time since I had observed the chef’s at work!  I have to give credit to a blog I found (Home Sweet Jones) that had really simple instructions and reminded me much of Chef Drew’s preparations apps downloaden ohne anmeldung.  I also based this dish off of ingredients that I had on hand and it was quite delicious!  The only thing I would do different is perhaps use a darker beer and back off a bit on the cayenne, because it was spicy!
