Spicy Shrimp Skillet

The people at Anderson Seafood were kind enough to send this very inland Okie some of the best shrimp I have ever eaten. So large and tasty that I am now spoiled from most of the shrimp we usually get in Oklahoma.

Needed:

2 pounds large shrimp-deveined and cleaned but with tail still on
3 sticks butter
1 T Cayenne Pepper
1 T Black Pepper
1 T Sea Salt
1 T Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
4 Garlic Cloves-minced
1 cup Parsley-minced

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add in butter, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. When butter is melted add in shrimp and garlic. Cook over medium heat until shrimp are done. Right before serving add parsley and toss well. Serve with baguettes and the gravy from the shrimp.

Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Here on Beaty's Creek, good seafood is hard to come by. I was ogling the Anderson Seafood website and debating what I really wanted. I emailed them to tell them how great their seafood looked and how I wished we lived closer as to buy such fresh seafood. Much to my surprise, they called me and offered to give me some seafood to feature on my blog!!!! Yes, I said GIVE!!!! How great was that?? My family was so excited when our box came that they could not wait to sample the seafood!!! I told Alberto at Anderson Seafood that I had not had a good scallop since my wedding almost 20 years ago. How great was it to receive some of the bests scallops in my package??? Thank-you Anderson Seafood for some great seafood! This is What's Cookin on Beaty's Creek today!!!

Needed:
Scallops
1 pound bacon
Salt and Pepper to taste
Juice of one lemon
Wooden picks

Dry each scallop and wrap with 1/2 slice of bacon. Place a wooden pick in each scallop to hold bacon on. Salt and pepper to taste. Broil for 4 minutes, then flip scallops and cook for 4 more minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over scallops and serve.
