They have named chefs with five dishes as the finalists. For the contest, all 5 finalists had to come up with a dish each and the dishes have to contain at least one mystery ingredient which could either be Southwest Airline Peanuts or select brews from Michelob Brewing Co. And the dish has to represent all 5 food groups and must be easy enough for a home chef.
Among the 5 finalist dishes, my favourite will have to be the Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet by Chef Brian Landry from Louisiana. I love it cause i love shrimps and i feel that the recipe is easy enough to cook for such a succulent and gourmet dish. And the ingredients used are quite commonly found like celery,onion,shrimps of course and various herbs like thyme and oregano. I think this recipe is the simplest among the 5 as it requires less steps to prepare. It is a balanced dish too as it contains vegetables, meat, and carbohydrates in the form of bread.
In making great seafood dishes, it is important to use local seafood as local seafood ensures its freshness and of course its cheaper than imported ones. Dishes made from fresh seafood is always the best! No doubt about it. If you have some free time to spare, go to the website and vote for your favourite recipe. Who knows you might even win a trip to New Orleans in the process
