Wrong thread UJ.

Grilled horseradish shrimp wrapped in pancetta. New recipe given to me by fish monger at our local farmers market. It was very good, almost like a warm shrimp cocktail.

That sounds like it could come off the menu of a certain over the top restaurant around here?

Only one "m" in homard btw.

Indeed.

I could have sworn I saw two m's... must've been the lighting in our booth.

Local spot has declared June 'lobster month' so that crustacean was featured with the majority of dishes. I had something I have not ordered in many years-- steak Oscar, a thick ribeye covered with lobster meat and medium-sized shrimp in a rich bernaise sauce, with sautéed asparagus and creamy mashed potatoes. I started with a caesar salad, and someone ordered peach melba for the table as dessert; by the end of the meal I had been transported back to the '80s for a while.
