It may seem like I am a good cook because I have a blog, but I am not. This is all an attempt to become what I seem to be. The music in each post is what I listened to while cooking and does not enhance the taste of food. Follow with caution.

Disclaimer: All mp3s are posted in good faith. I hope upon listening readers will go out and buy the album and maybe even see a show! If you are a representative of the band or label and want me to take it down that's cool with me. Just email me: twironen at gmail

Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime, and Peanuts & Avi Buffalo

Martha Stewart came up with this recipe. Probably in prison cooking for Lindsay Brohan while drinking Negro Modelo’s.

Music: Avi Buffalo - Avi Buffalo Definitely one of my favorite albums of the year. It’s a solid effort from start to finish and a stunning debut. The singer has such an interesting voice that blends so well with the music. On this track, he’s joined by a girl and I hope she sings more on the next album because it adds a whole new dynamic to an already perfect album.

Ingredients: Serves 4

2 Limes

2 Teaspoons fish Sauce

1/2 Teaspoon sugar

1 Pound jumbo shrimp, shells on

2 Teaspoons olive oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 1/2 Cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 Cup of Unsalted Peanuts

2 Scallions, finely chopped

Directions:

Zest limes into a bowl. Squeeze in juice from 1 lime, and whisk in fish sauce and sugar.

Preheat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil on both sides, and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Grill until pink and firm to touch. About 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Toss shrimp with fish-sauce mixture, cilantro, peanuts, and scallions. Juice remaining lime over shrimp.

Thank you to Martha and Lindsay for this recipe.
