Been Playing Around....with food

[Abelman]

I put this in the grill section since both dishes work there and frankly, they can be done in the kitchen as well.

The first one I wanted to mess with was kind of a breakfast taquito/burrito. Did all of this on the grill. To start, I lightly grilled the breakfast pork sausage and the scrambled eggs leaving them a bit runny as more cooking was in store. I also warmed the tortillas on the grill as well.

The setup:



Then it was just simple prep.....



with Tillamook Sharp Cheddar:



Rolled them up and got to cooking. Did them at 425° with the seam down and kind of went by feel. When done, the top was crispy and the bottom was sealed and a tad burned but in a good way. Take your favorite hot sauce and go to town. I really liked them. Apparently, they freeze well so when the kids get back, I'll release the Cracken and see what they think.



The other thing I messed with is some Jamaican Curry Shrimp. I did it with rice and some hot chili oil to finish. I Really liked this meal.

Just a pound of raw shrimp, med-large, a good skillet or sauce pan and some rice along with the curry sauce ingredients. Ate it two nights in a row



and the dinner version:



So, that's what I've been messing around with. Thanks for looking!
