I'm going to be smoking pork ribs. Appy will be the smoked jalapeno with the cheese and bacon. Also going to put in a tray of beans. And let the drippings from the ribs flavor them.

Shrimp Sushi Parfait

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : A List Fish-Shellfish-Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup sushi rice (250 ml)
1 1/2 cups water (375 ml)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (25 ml)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (2 ml)
1 teaspoon salt (5 ml)
1 large ripe avocado
2 tablespoons sour cream (25 ml)
2 large limes, juiced -- divided
salt to taste
2 cups cooked baby shrimp (500 ml)
1 teaspoon grated ginger root (5 ml)
1/4 cup red onion (50 ml) -- finely diced
1/4 cup red pepper (50 ml) -- finely diced
1/4 cup yellow pepper (50 ml) -- finely diced
1 tablespoon chopped coriander (15 ml)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
GARNISH
1 sheet Nori -- if desired
18 large cooked shrimp (we sautéed them in garlic, butter, and lime juice)

Place rice in strainer and rinse rice until the water comes clean. Place rice and water in a medium pot and place on high heat. Place a lid on the pot and when liquid comes to a boil turn down to a simmer. Simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and let stand 10 minutes, covered. Place rice in a bowl and add the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt.

Peal avocado and remove pit. Either mash or purée with a food processor. Stir in the sour cream and squeeze in some lime juice. Season with salt.

Roughly chop the shrimp (the small baby shrimp). In a small bowl combine shrimp, ginger, red onion, red pepper, yellow pepper, coriander, lime juice, and sesame oil. Mix to combine.

Into 6 clear glasses (large martini glasses), place 1 Tbs. (15 ml) of the shrimp mixture, followed by a layer of the avocado mousse followed by a layer of the sushi rice. Continue until all the ingredients are used up, preferably with the shrimp as a last layer. Top each with a few julienned nori and 3 large shrimp.

Oh my! I was thinking about this the other day, in fact I thought about it today. Billy so loved this!!!

I have some Anaheim chilies roasted & ready to stuff, fresh corn that Bob took off the cob last night, corn tortillas, and a roasted tomatillo sauce made. I just have to figure out the menu.

congratulations to your son, Karyn! Have a great celebration.

A number of us really liked this one, Cis - haven't made it for a long time.

Glad you brought that up, Cis. I was just thinking about it the other day!

It's pouring down rain, so the menu has changed to turkey club sandwiches and french fries. Hopefully do the pizza on the grill tomorrow.
