Tonight for dinner I started up some rice, in the rice cooker. The rice cooker is quite possibly man's greatest invention; it cooks rice perfectly with no human input once it's started. It even turns itself off for you (or goes to a Keep Warm setting).
Then I decided to sautee up some shrimp. No big deal, right? I put the heat on medium low, because I HATE overcooked shrimp. I think it's my biggest fear. I put the shrimp on. They weren't really "sizzling", but I thought I cooked them enough before flipping. So I flipped. And later I scooped them out, and put them on the rice. I even put cheese on top of all of it.
I ate the shrimp. AAH! What is that Oceanic taste? These shrimp have not been cooked enough! I said to myself. But I'm barely hungry at all anyways!
So then, instead of going and re-heating them, I wrote a blog post about it. Because I'm not very hungry and I'm so dissatisfied with my cooking ability that I'd rather not attempt perfection a second time.
Here's a picture of Chazwick Bundick from Toro y Moi. How was your night?
No such thing as bad shrimps anyways, I'd eat that stuff up raw, undercooked, perfectly cooked or overcooked.

ReplyDeleteShrimp is generally pre-cooked. I have yet to try fresh stuff for sushi though.
ReplyDeleteI've done that, but with lobster, and because it was expensive as hell, I threw it on the grill for awhile until the charcoal taste erased it.
ReplyDeleteNever eat undercooked seafood!

This combo reminds me of my mom's shrimp fried rice. It's damn good, ask for a recipe if you're interested.
