JC,s Marinated Grilled Shrimp!
“A very simple and easy marinade that makes your shrimp so yummy you don’t even need cocktail sauce! Don’t let the cayenne pepper scare you, you don’t even taste it. My 2 and 4 year-olds love it and eat more shrimp than their parents! It is also a big hit with company, and easy to prepare. I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outside grilling. Try it with a salad, baked potato, and
garlic bread. You will not be disappointed!!!”

JC,s Shrimp In Baja Blue Cheese Sauce!!
Ingrediants
1 1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or corn oil margarine
2/3 cup long-grain white rice
2 peeled onion slices
2 tablespoons Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp
1 1/2 cup homemade chicken stock (or reduced-sodium canned chicken broth)
1 cup half and half
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 ounces Oregon blue cheese (or Danish-style blue cheese)
8 ounces bay shrimp
4 sprigs Italian flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Warm individual shallow soup bowls.
Bring 1 1/4 cups water, lemon juice, salt, and butter to a boil. Stir in the rice and cover. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put 1 1/2 cups water, the onion slices, 2 tablespoons parsley, and the uncooked shrimp in a pan and bring to a boil. Cook the shrimp until their shells turn pink and the meat is white, about 30 seconds to a minute, tossing the shrimp as they cook. Drain the shrimp and make the sauce while they cool for peeling.
Pour the chicken stock and half-and-half into a 1-quart saucepan and warm over low heat. With a fork, blend the flour and blue cheese together and whisk it into the stock/half-and-half mixture. Turn the heat to medium and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Put the peeled shrimp and the bay shrimp in the blue cheese sauce and gently heat until they are warm.
Scoop a heaping 1/2 cup rice out of the pot and put it in the middle of a shallow soup bowl. Ladle the sauce over all and garnish with a sprig of parsley. Repeat for the remaining bowls.
Comments: Shrimp is combined with creamy Baja Blue Cheese to create a delicate sauce that is served over mounds of lemon-flavored rice (it’s also good over pasta or polenta). Because it is rich, small servings are adequate accompanied by a simple green salad and a dry white wine.
BEWARE: Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You don’t want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking, your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of a fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in the next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon. Come by the office here in Cabo and get all the latest up to date fishing report. http://www.jcsportfishing.com http://youtu.be/tSXN6pifQyQ
