No Grill Needed: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp

June 1, 2023 No Comments

Put the sticky-sweet, tomato-based sauce back in the fridge and step away from the grill, because New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp is not at all like what y’all think of when y’all think barbecue. A New Orleans food writer with a lot of local cuisine knowledge โ€œunder her beltโ€ once told […]

Though she was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kim Ranjbar felt New Orleans calling her home as soon as she hit puberty. A graduate of granola U (a.k.a. Sonoma State University) with a BA in English and a concentration in Creative Writing, Kim took her passion for the written word and dragged it over 2000 miles to flourish in the city she loves.

After almos years as a transplant โ€” surviving hurricanes, levee failures, oil spills, boil water advisories and hipster invasions โ€” Kim hopes to eventually earn the status of local and be welcomed into the fold.

I've been so obsessed with making the perfect kimc I've been so obsessed with making the perfect kimchi fried rice, I didn't even think about Chinese (well, the American version) fried rice! Sweet Chinese sausage and broken jasmine rice from @hkmnola, carrots, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, peas and a few scrambled eggs. The secret is using day old rice from the fridge and a simple sauce of soy, sesame oil, rice wine or vinegar, and lots of pepper. It turned out so good, I not only made it two nights in a row, I'm considering adding a wok to my kitchen arsenal ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿš #friedrice #alwayslearning #nolaamateurcook

Long gone are the days when a clothes shopping trip with Mom at Fashion Island Mall would culminate in lunch on the waterfront at The Fish Market. Never again will I taste their creamy clam chowder or gratuitously mop the last drops with a buttery slab of San Francisco sourdough. Diving into a whole Main lobster ๐Ÿฆž , wearing a plastic Fish Market bib, drenching every sweet morsel in clarified butter will have to remain the stuff of birthdays past. Thank you @thefishmarkets for all the memories ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŽฃ๐ŸŸ
