Decided to stretch my grilling skills and use the vortex for something other than chicken wings (for which it is awesome). Given the intense heat from the center, I knew I could do some sauteing on it as well. I saw the bell peppers on the Vortex website and thought I would give them a try with a little Louisiana twist.
Had to do some shopping this morning
$3.50/lb at a local seafood market. Has about 10-15 vendors on any given day; so prices are always cheap for high quality seafood. I like to cook with about a 20 count shrimp. Nice balance between not having to peel a bunch and not having to cut them up. They had some Jumbos (5-7) for $6.00/lb.
Had some nice ones in there too
Prep took about an hour of shucking and chopping, but right about the time I was ready to light the coals it looked like we we're going to have a typical afternoon shower. Waited about an hour (no rain) until the dark clouds went away and lit a full chimney of KBB. Once ashed over, I put on the trinity (onions,celery, bellpepper) over some EVOO and butter.
Let that sweat down some, and then added the shrimp and garlic.
Oh, forgot about my little chef treat before starting the stuffing!
Let the shrimp cook for a few minutes then added some tomato sauce and some cream of mushroom soup. I then folded in some cooked Jazzmen rice (only thing I cooked inside) until I got to the consistency I was looking for. Still wet, but thick
I then took the stuffing mixture inside to cool before stuffing the peppers.
Sookie was not pleased that I interrupted her sun bath.
