Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice

One of my favorite activities in this world is eating. I have always been a person who enjoyed meals truly. I cook and I experiment on cooking, looking forward to creating sumptuous dishes. I also love eating out if the budget permits. I am the kind of person who is easy to bring anywhere as long as eating delicious food is involved. I especially love seafood. My favorite food trips is to Dampa, one of the seafood market-restaurants here in the country.

I recently read about a seafood cook off and reading about it (plus seeing the photos!) made my mouth water. Suddenly I couldn’t wait for dinnertime. In the cook off, there were five finalists and the recipes were Colorado Striped Bass Panzanella (Chef Paul Anders) , Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots (Chef Tafari Campbell), Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice (Chef John Currence), Texas Gulf Shrimp (Chef Mark Holley), and Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet (Chef Brian Landry).

Among the five recipes included in the cook off , I chose and voted for Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice by Chef John Currence of Mississippi. I read the recipe and I realized that cooking it by myself is actually possible. Also, I am determined to try it in the kitchen by next weekend. What I liked best about Chef John Currence’s recipe was the seafood rice. As a daily rice eater, I never thought about making my rice more exciting by mixing bacon, chicken liver, shrimp, onions, beer with fish stock into it. I would definitely try this recipe, make a special Saturday lunch for my family. I would probably cook the rice in a pot, though, and not using an oven since I do not have one.

If you are aiming to have the best seafood recipes, I would also suggest getting home-grown or domestic seafood. Not only do you get them in the local price (great for haggling for better prices too) but you get them in their freshest state.
