~ Honey Grilled Shrimp~

For dinner I made Honey Grilled Shrimp which was great with baked potatoes and the Beer Bread I made as well.

 

 What you need: 1 lb shrimp shelled, water and skewers.

 

In a large bowl, mix together the contents of large bag with 1/3 cut water. Add shrimp, toss to coat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour. I thought I took photos of the shrimp in the marinade but I guess I didn't.  Sorry..

 

Preheat grill to high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers and discard marinade.

 

In a small bowl, stir together second package with 1/4 cup water.  

 

 Set aside for basting.

Lightly oil grill grate. Grill shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Baste occasionally with the honey-butter sauce while grilling. Shrimp can also be skillet grilled as well, and if so, do not use the skewers.  I grilled my shrimp in a cast iron skillet not the grill and they turned out fine!

 

After putting on our dinner plate, I drizzled more of the honey-butter sauce over top.  The shrimp with the beer bread and potatoes made for a really great dinner with very little effort!  Get some today! 

~ Fine Restaurant Quality Crab Cakes ~

Okay, we have our new FAVORITE GC entree.  This is a new item that I was anxious to try.  So instead of our usual Pizza/Beer last night, we had these delicious Crab Cakes! We just moved the Pizza/Beer to tonight for once.

Ingredients Needed:  1 lb crab meat, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, oil (I used olive oil). 



 Directions: Mix together the contents of package, crab meat...

 ..and mayonnaise.

 Here is the final combined mixture. 

 Form into 8-9 round cakes. (I left it as is and just put a
lid on it). Refrigerate overnight. The next day is when I formed it into my cakes. Instead of 8-9 round ones, I made 5 large (like thick hamburger sized) cakes.  Hey, everything's bigger in Texas!

 Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. (I poured enough oil so that the entire bottom was covered and up about 1/8th inch of oil in the pan). Carefully add crab cakes, a few at a time.

Fry about 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.

 Look how wonderful they turned out!

 Here is hubby's plate and he already had one crab cake!

We had a rice dish (not GC this time) to go with it.  We both absolutely LOVE these and will make them as often as we can! Even though crab meat is expensive, think about it.  A nice crab cake dinner at a nice restaurant could easily be $20.99! This mix is only $4.00!  The cost of crab will vary depending on your area but still way less expensive than dinner out!

Next time I'm going to make GC fried rice to have with it!

Going...

GONE!

Try these today! You won't be disappointed!
