Back to New Orleans on this Palm Sunday. Tired so quick weekend overview:
Dinner on Friday at Red Fish Grill. I took advantage of their Lenten Special for:
Garlic Shrimp
Jumbo Gulf shrimp marinated in garlic, then seared, and served with a fire-roasted corn relish, seasonal baby greens tossed with a fresh basil-Dijon vinaigrette
Louisiana Seafood Crepes
Delicate crepes filled with hickory grilled Gulf shrimp, lump crabmeat, fresh Breaux Bridge crawfish tails and oyster mushrooms, served with a light shrimp-infused sauce finished with cream
It was okay, shrimp better than the crepes.
Dinner last night was at Arnaud's.
Started with Shrimp Arnaud: Gulf shrimp marinated in our famous tangy Creole Remoulade Sauce. Good but did not blow me away.
Then turtle soup. Very good.
FILET MIGNON AU POIVRE: Seared pepper-studded center-cut filet with classic French Brandy Cream Sauce: Good, huge!
And baked alaska for dessert.
Good times, good food and friends. Happy to be home!
