One of the reasons I wanted to learn how to grill food was so that I could enjoy chicken that had been kissed by fire and caressed by mesquite. Here's how I put together a recent meal that tasted as good as it looks.

You will need:

Chicken cut into pieces ( I prefer thighs) brown sugar, salt, barbeque sauce (Make your own or use store bought, I do some of both).

1 lb. mushrooms with the stems removed

1 lb of shrimp, shelled, deveined and chopped, 1-8 oz. pkg cream cheese, 2-3 oz shredded cheddar cheese, chopped garlic chopped green onion & some paprika.

I always make sure my shrimp come from the Gulf of Mexico:

Use the brown sugar & salt to make a brine, your brine should be about 50/50 sweet to salt. Put your yardbird in a ziploc bag or other container and add the brine. Let it soak at least two hours & keep it chilled while you're doing so.

While the bird is brining put together your shrimp stuffed mushrooms. Mix the cream cheese, some of the cheddar cheese, garlic, green onions & shrimp together & fill the mushroom caps. When they're full sprinkle on some paprika and top with more cheddar cheese.

clearly I wrote this before checking your blog. nm on that one.

I'll probably keep reading before commenting further.

That's OK, THX for stopping by & commenting! Etouffee is one of the first LA dishes I learned how to cook many years ago now & it's still a favorite of mine. I also love southern cooking or as I call it: "down-home" cooking. 7-3's! The Kid
