Need a "WOW!?!" Meal......Whatcha Got?

Paul Prudhomme's Shrimp Diane is one of our favorite entertainment dishes.

I go with charbroiled oysters using drago's recipe and BBQ shrimp when I want to wow people.

Beef Wellington is always good

Veal with Czarina sauce

Notes: Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen recipe..... the best....

Grill some nice steaks and surround them in BBQ shrimp. Make sure plenty of the BBQ shrimp butter settles around the bottoms of the steaks.

It's my favorite style of surf and turf.
