I have a request.
It 's that time of year when our local vendors come door to door peddling their wares...and
about time too!
This morning (flush with poker winnings and bets on congressional approval ratings) I sprung for some goodies. Jumbo shrimp, nice scallops, and
fresh juicy luscious strawberries. Camarones, callos, y fresa...muy bien.
I am baching it for a few weeks, so I need a good recipe for this tray. What floats your boat? Any special ones you have tried?
...and maybe a chef, too....
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Is that one serving? Whatever you do, don't put garlic on the strawberries.

Use any of your good seafood recipes for the shrimp and scallops. That's easy.
Buy a carton of Lala crema, and a bag of that good Mexican sugar that is not quite white, and has large, crunchy crystals. Put crema in one bowl,
some sugar in another, and the washed strawberries with tops still on in a third. Serve the strawberries for dessert, dipping first into crema, then
sugar. Dee-licious!
Much better than shrimp and strawberry stirfry.

I Second Paula's
Recipe for the strawberries, yum!
For the shrimp and scallops, maybe a ceviche? When they are that fresh, simple treatments for seafood are the best.

Oh that looks good. Several careers ago, D and I had a strawberry farm. With 7 acres of them, I had lots to experiment with. Here's a favorite.
CHOCOLATE DIPPED/LIQUORED UP STRAWBERRIES.
Go to the pharmacy and get a syringe, a bottle of your favorite liquor, and some chocolate bars.
Fill your syringe with liquor, and inject it the berries. I remember getting quite a good amount in.
Melt the chocolate and dip the berries in it.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Use Dusty's recipe for the shrimp !!
Teriaki, beer and butter with the peeled shrimp, all wrapped in foil and set on the barbe'.
I like to lightly pound the scallops, egg wash then seasoned panko or breadcrumbs and into some hot canola.
Lightly browned and served with a lemon/garlic aoli.
Wish I was there to help !!

Scallops...........Mexican style c-cktail with clamato and lime, just chop scallops, onions, cucumber and celery add clamato to cover in tall class
add lime and hot sauce to taste. (Marinate the chopped scallops with olive oil, lime and lemon for 30 minutes prior to adding the other ingredients.)
Shrimps.........par cook some bacon, wrap around shelled shrimp, grill on barbe over mesquite coals till bacon crisps up.
Strawberries..........how about some strawberry margi's?

Slice up some red and green bell pepper, red onion and mushrooms. Chop up a little garlic and serrano chili. Saute with a light olive oil, over angel
hair. Garlic bread and a pitcher or two of maggies! Sorry, I am about 800 miles away, or I'd join you! Enjoy Pomp!

Saute' with vino blanco, ajo, favorite seasonings and finish with crema .You've probably tried that but it's always a winner. By the looks of it
unless you are expecting guests you'll be able to try several new recipes.
P.S. Don't forget to invite the hounds for left overs!!

Warning! These meals call for white wine, to cook and to quaff.
Focus on the wonderful local winter vegetables here in Mulege. Mix and match according to your whimsy.
I especially like the pretty carrots with their tops still on in the market, the shelled peas, tender Chinese peas, the broccoli and long green
onions, oh, and don't forget the green, red and/or orange bell peppers.
Shrimp and/or Scallops:
1. Caldo: Made with bite size cooked carrots, peas, potatoes, fresh sliced tomatoes, green onion and snow peas in a chicken broth. Make it thin with
plenty of room to add the shrimp and/or tenderized scallops a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a bit of green cilantro for color and aroma.
Its still winter, so serve it hot. If it were summer when the Bay is sizzling instead of the barbie, serve it cold!
2. Alfredo and linguini seafood(s)
3. Shepherdess Pie a la Mulegena: I've made a shepherd's pie with a whitesauce (see #2 above) and Shrimp. Include diced cooked carrots, onion, garlic,
peas and broccoli. Cover with luscious mashed potatoes.
De-scrumptuous!

Batter in cornmeal, then deep fry the shrimp and scallops. The strawberries? How 'bout a strawberry cake.

Those mexican strawberries are grown to eat, unlike Calif berries that are grown to sell. By that I mean theyare grown for shipping and a long shelf
life at the supermarket w/ a hollow and white insides, not for taste. Wait a day or two after picking and put them on your morning bowl of cereal,
and/or get a ripe papaya, banana, pineapple, oranges, mix together w/strawberries and fruit salad! You already have good ideas for the seafood.
