Drunks will be in the house tonight ya'll. I'm craving queso and shrimps.
I love it when you talk sexy.
Ya'll know I don't eat much meat these days but mrs. blues has drug me to the new Frisco In-N-Out 3 times since it opened (willingly too).
We were going to go yesterday as I was jonesin' for a single cheese animal style with no lettuce or toms, and well done animal style fries. Good 'Gawd I could make a mudpack out of the spread and grilled onions. Anywhoo mrs. blues decided we should break from INO for a spell so I thought what to do, what to do. So I thought shrimp, 15/20's, texas wild and picked those up fresh and while I was doing that I had an epiphany, CHEESE SAUCE! Or what we here in Texas refer to simply as Queso. So I picked up some heavy cream for that.
Now a typical Tex-Mex queso could be just Velveeta, Ro-Tel canned toms and pickled 'peno's, but a scratch made queso is sooo much better.
Got my sauce pan going with some butter, green onions, sundried toms, and 'peno's.
Then seasoned and added some flour for a roux.
Cooked it a bit added the cream, brought it up to a simmer and then added cheese, and more cheese, and more cheese, in this case a cheddar/jack mix.
Now what to do with it? On a whim I broke up my secret stash of Frito's, ripped open the bag and layered them in a dish and poured on the queso. Topped with a little salsa. Dippin' one chip at a time is okay for the hoity toity crowd but to get maximum bang for the buck its better to shovel them it in with a spoon if you want a roadtrip to flavortown.
What started as an app turned out to more than enough for my stomach so I nixed the shrimps for later. Leftover, the queso should be even better.
Boom shaka laka!
