Food glorious food! What can be more rewarding at the end of the day after all that slogging in the office!
See that shrimp above? It has been on my mind all weekend. I just have a weakness for local seafood because you get them fresh and not ice-boxed for a couple of weeks, losing all that natural sweetness and taste. If you're a health conscious person like me, you will know that seafood, especially fish, packs a whole lot of Omega 3s.

You can find some great recipes at cook off at www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com. I particular like the Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet by Chef Brian Landry from Louisiana, because it is pure shrimp goodness! You can't get closer to the real thing than the thing itself. I want to be able to enjoy it without all the other ingredients masking the true flavor of the shrimp. The Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet is without pretense. I think the recipe is great in itself as I believe in "less is better", but if I had a fastidious eater around who is accustomed to heavier flavorings, I might add a twist to the recipe by adding a dash of tamarind juice to the already exotic flavorings.
