Our Valentines Day Meal

Alright, so I've been dealing with a stomach virus for the second time in about three weeks and haven't been eating much but I was determined to cook the wife a meal for Valentines Day. Of course I must've waited too long to do the shopping for ingredients. First I couldn't find filets at a few different supermarkets and then the lobsters I wanted didn't look good enough. So I decided to improvise and got ribeyes and fresh shrimp.

Started off with boiling the shrimp with some liquid Zatarains Shrimp and Crab(REALLY good stuff!)added to the water.
Shrimp boiled and ready to peel. Then I made a remoulade sauce and set that in the fridge to chill.



Then I wrapped green beans that were marinated in teriyaki sauce and seasoned with Leblanc's Gunz and Roses BBQ seasoning and on the Keg those went to cook.



Next I made an Alfredo sauce for fettucine(waited until closer to time to eat to add the pasta).
Time to season the ribeyes with fresh ground red, black and white peppercorns and kosher salt.



After the green beans were done I opened the vents up to raise the Keg's temp. When it reached about 550° I put the steaks on the overturned cast iron grate for greater surface to hot iron contact for a better crust. When the steaks were almost done I added a compound garlic butter on top.



When it was time to eat we started with the shrimp remoulade salad.



Now this is a rarity for me and I really didn't eat everything but I couldn't just let the wife eat alone so I cut one of the steaks in half and had that.
There were also fresh baked crescent rolls with this meal.



Dessert was homemade White Chocolate Crème brûlée . here it is before bruleeing the sugar(I forgot to get an "after" picture)



The wife loved the meal and I must say it all came out pretty dang good and even though the stomach still has issues it was a delicious meal.
