French Fridays with Dorie – Salmon and Potatoes in a Jar | Great Food 360°

So, our good friend Adriana at Great Food 360° is a member of French Fridays with Dorrie - a group of intrepid food bloggers cooking their way through Dorrie Greenspan's Around My French Table. Each Friday, they post their interpretation of that week's recipe. As it happens, this week's recipe was Salmon and Potatoes in a jar - fitting in nicely with the B&P Meat Hiatus. Adriana asked if I'd like to fill in, and I happily obliged. How did I do?

Well, go take a look!

Smoked Shrimp

After my first experiment with my stovetop smoker was successful, I've been searching for new and exciting things to use it with for the duration of my meat hiatus (1 week left, for those who are counting). As it turns out, people have tried to smoke pretty much everything. As it also turns out, shrimp work pretty well. I wouldn't have expected this - shrimp cook quickly, and smoking is a famously  "slow and low" cooking method. But after doing a little digging, I found an interesting looking preparation apparently used by the Taco Sisters of Lafayette, LA. After giving this a shot, I'll be sure to drop in next time I find myself by Lafayette.
