Scampi, calamari and plaice
« Reply #-1 on: December 26, 2012, 10:38:41 AM »
Today was a seafood day: Calamari were marinated in diced chili, sliced scallions, mirin, soysauce, ricewine vinegar, orange juice, ginger, lemongrass and garlic salt and cooked in the wok on the Cobb grill. The scampi were marinated in Sriracha and diced garlic, then panko crusted, then cooked on the Louisiana CS-450. It was plated with arugula salad.























Then I continued with the plaice filets, that were seasoned with EVOO, salt and tellicherry-pepper. They were cooked on ceder planks on the Louisiana CS-450 and served with pasta and a yellow bell pepper cream sauce.

Looks very good! I have thought about the wood planks on the pellet grilll, but was not sure it would add anything... does it?

Yes, it does. But you mustn't soak the plank in water, because then it's got no significant effect on the food. I just sprinkled it with water and put it into the pellet smoker. A few moments later you can smell the cedar smoke and put the food on the plank.

Beautiful food! I love shrimp scampi and good calamari. Never heard of plaice but it looks good.
