Seafood Galore

When I have the time (and the ingredients), I love experimenting with my food. I used to cook for our family when I was still single and I love the look on their faces (and the empty plates! lol) when they love the food that I serve. Cooking lunch was usually the busiest time of the day for me since my siblings and parents would then be arriving both from school and from work, respectively. We sometimes had visitors, too, so I had to consider that while cooking.

I don't think I'm an expert when it comes to cooking, though, so that's why I love watching others cook or read cook books. Sometimes while watching television I'd see some shows concerning seafood cook off and I'd stay glued to the set! Or the contest running right now at www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com where you can view the chefs as well as their entries (complete with picture and recipe). I liked the Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet (Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille sausage smothered in a white bean casserole) by Brian Landry from Louisiana, so I voted for that one. :)

We used to live near the sea so we definitely are seafood lovers! Would love to try out Brian's recipe one of these days when I have the time and ingredients ready. It sounds (and looks) so delicious and nutritious I'm sure my family would love it.

What about you? Are you a foodie like me, too? Then you should go and visit www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com and see the gorgeous gourmet recipes being posted at the site, as well as vote for the chef in your opinion should be crowned the King of American Seafood!
