food The Drunken Chef

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned...

Well I was going to do deep fried cheese but....alcohol got in the way. So much so that I stooped to a new low...even for moi! I opened up the pantry door and stood staring into it as if by some sort of magic something would jump out and cook itself. As I gazed into The Blues Pantry, my eyes fell onto one of the most evil, vile, and diabolical concoctions known to man....a can of Hormel Chili w/beans. WTF! It was readily apparent that mrs. blues had purchased this crap. Now ya'll know me as a staunch anti-beans with chili activist but right now I stand before you and freely confess to ya'll...I have sinned! I grabbed that can of brown swill wondering what to do with it. Deep fried chili? Maybe. I already had the deep fryer going but no idea what to throw into it. I opened the door to the freezer. Hmmmm....a bag of Orieda frozen fries...another mrs. blue favorite. I grabbed that and tossed a couple handfuls into the fryer. Splatter splatter crackle poof! Found some grated cheddar, pickled 'peno's, and grabbed PF's 7 Pot powder....Have Mercy!!

This could very well be the bestest drunkoffyourass grub known to man...er..drunks.

Tonight is curried shrimp......but y'all have seen that dance before.....;)

I daresay dear sir, your dance is more akin to a veritable culinary mosh pit! Post the curry thingy anyway. We thrive on your brand of kung fu and chaos!

Okay!

I know this is a total repeat dish, but I never turn down a request to whore my food-porn!

Shrimp Curry! (my own recipe....and yes I know it's not a true curry.....but a) I don't really give a crap. and b) I like it! Having said that, here it is!

The ingredients (at least most of them....I forgot to sit out the heavy cream)

Cooking the bacon. After it's nice and done, I chop it and set it aside for topping.

Sweating the diced vidalia onion in a little of the bacon fat:

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

Adding the sliced mushrooms to the partially cooked onions. This allows the shrooms time to release their moisture so it doesn't dilute my sauce later on...

Looks like this after the liquid from the mushrooms boils off and begins to sizzle again:

At this point, I add 2 parts curry powder to one part hot curry powder:

Stir together and allow the mixture to continue cooking......releasing a wonderful aroma into the whole house....

Add in a large can of cream of mushroom soup:

Looks like this:

Cover and simmer for an hour.....stirring about every 10 minutes or so. Start your jasmine rice in the rice cooker. Then, 10 minutes before the rice is ready, add the peeled shrimp and heavy cream:

Ends up looking like this:

Bring everything to the bar and hug your dinner partner.

The spread.......very informal setting, but it didn't seem to effect the flavor of the food one bit!

AAAAAaaaaaand.....the finished plate! Added the T-scorp powder, bacon, and apricot fruit spread. This is one fantastic meal. It's fast, simple, and GREAT for date-night!

Hope you enjoyed!
