Had a little special occasion to celebrate yesterday, so I went freezer diving and pulled out 3 small filet mignons and some gulf shrimp. The filets were from a whole tenderloin I bought on sale for something like $6/lb and broke down myself, shrimp on sale for $9/lb, taters are basically free, so I think the total cost per plate was < $10 and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. There's really no comparison between farm raised shrimp and wild caught, and gulf shrimp are some of my favorite - such a richer flavor.
I felt like trying something new for the shrimp skewers, so I hit them with Big Poppa Smokers Bacon Jalapeno Rub - it was the perfect compliment to the shrimp, big fan of this combo.
The beef was marked "angus" on the package with no USDA grading on it, but when I cut the tenderloin down I found that it was nicely marbled and after eating some, it had great flavor...some of the best filets I've had in a while. Not bad @ $6/lb.
The filets took just under 10 minutes to cook on the Primo XL, then I put on the shrimp skewers for a couple minutes per side.
Gold potatoes + two smashed garlic cloves in the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker for 10 minutes, then natural release. Mash, add one cup of whole milk, half a stick of butter, then blended with the immersion blender.
Shrimp is done!
Got all fancypants with the tater plating (corner cut off a gallon Ziploc bag lol)
Perfectly done to my liking.
Thanks for lookin' :thumb:
