Thanks,

MMMMM....my shrimp guy came by the house today and I have plenty of fresh, plump Gulf crustaceans to use with this one!

I second Fishkiller nomination to Official NDI Chef! :thumb:
 
Fish,

Sounds good dude. Do you create your own recipies or modify exsisting ones (or both).

I have a grilled fish that my wife loves and she doesn't normally like fish.

This is a variation on Creme Caramel (and really despite the lengthy explanation, it's easy to make.

Quesillo de Pina -- Pineapple Custard
Caramel:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Custard:
3 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks
15 ounce condensed milk
1 1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup sugar

In a small saucepan bring the sugar and water to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil the syrup until the syrup turns a rich, golden brown. As soon as the syrup reaches the right colour, remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the syrup all at once into a mold. Tip and swirl the mold to coat the bottom and sides as evenly as possible. When the syrup stops moving, turn the mold upside down to drain and cool for a minute or so.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and yolks with a whisk until they thicken and turn light yellow. Gradually pour in the condensed milk, pineapple juice and sugar, and beat until all the ingredients are well combined. Strain through a fine sieve into the caramel-lined mold.
Place the mold in a large pan on the middle shelf of the oven. Pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the mold. bake the custard for about 1 hour, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Remove the mold from the water, let cool to room temperature, the refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
To unmold, run a sharp knife around the sides and dip the bottom of the mold briefly in hot water. Wipe the outside of the mold dry, place a serving plate upside down over the mold and flip.
Serves 6-8
 
FK - Sounds delish! Sounds like something my mom likes to make.

Do you have a name for this month's dish?
