BBQ Recipes

OK, so some of you have asked Dana or I how to make the food that I created for the BBQ.  Gotta go offf memory but here's my best guess.

Buffalo Shrimp

1 Stick of butter
1 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbsp Garlic Powder (you can use fresh garlic but it burns on the grill)
Cook it all on medium low for about 20 minutes.  Pour it over thawed shrimp in a bowl and let sit in the fridge over night.  Cook the shrimp on skewers for about 2.5 minutes per side for big shrimp, 1.5 for smaller.

The Angus Burger Marinade - more of a paste than a marinade

In a blender combine 1 cup olive oil
1 cup sun dried tomatoes
1 cup artichoke hearts
1 cup fresh portabello mushrooms.
2 tbsp white truffle oil

Remove from blender and heat in a sauce pan on medium for 10 minutes.  Spread evenly over one side of the burger.  Cook meat side down first and then flip and cook sauce side down.

The Asparagus

Quite simple

Clean the asparagus by holding it in the middle and the fat end, bend 1 piece till it breaks.  This is where the rest should be cut.  Then wash it.

Place in microwave safe container
Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce, sprinkle salt and black pepper.  Microwave for 4 minutes or 5 for a big batch.  Then remove and take it to the grill until slightly charred.  I take it back to the microwave container and slosh it around in the microwave juice/oil combination.  That's it.

Other items included the Buffalo Franks.  I soaked those in apple cider overnight.  The bratwursts were simmered in the crockpot for 2 hours in 2 bottles of Heineken, 1 cup of chicken stock, and garlic and onion.  The corn on the cob was cooked in water first and seasoned with white truffle oil, salt and pepper.  All items were placed on the grill until slightly charred.  I think I got everything.

Happy Dining!
