FROM THE HORSES MOUTH

October is here and now is the time to be on over here for some fun on the water.  Redfish have been good this past week on live shrimp under a cork. The lake is full of shrimp right now because the strong tides are sweeping them out of the marsh. Good trout are being caught under working sea gulls but are very spooky. Call 888.762.3391 and come over for some fishing fun.
NOTE:
We will stop fishing the first part of November as we transition into duck season so don’t get shut out while the fish are biting.

EARLY TEAL SEASON CLOSES WITH A BANG

This year’s early Teal season scored on the 1 to 10 scale of about an 8. Our hunters harvested good numbers of the fast-flying ducks during the short 16-day season. We are now turning our attention to the big duck season here in southwest Louisiana that opens November 11th and runs through January 21st.

Call 888.762.3391 and check available open blind dates.

This Week’s Yummy Recipe

 

BEST SHRIMP RECIPE EVER

Shrimp season is open right now and the shrimp are plentiful. Several people have asked me about shrimp recipes. I have tons of them and this is one of my favorites.

Ingredients

  • 12 Jumbo 12/15 head on fresh shrimp
  • 1 ounce Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 – teaspoons of Creole Seasoning
  • 1 – tablespoon of cracked black pepper
  • 2 ½ Teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 – teaspoon chopped garlic
  • ½ sliced lemon
  • ¼ pound cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon of water

Directions

Place shrimp along with all other ingredients except lemon half and butter in a stainless sauté pan. Squeeze juice from the lemon over the shrimp and add lemon half to the pan. Start cooking the shrimp over a moderate heat, gently stirring and turning the shrimp as they begin to cook. When the shrimp start tuning pink and are nearly half cooked, increase the heat and start swirling in the cold pieces of butter until incorporated resulting in a light brown creamy sauce. Pour shrimp and sauce into a pasta bowl. Remove the lemon rind and serve with warm crusty French bread.
