Oh joy!

Living in New Orleans has the potential (and probability) of turning a person into a complete food snob. This, alas, has happened to me. I admit it. I am a food snob. The upside of this is the seventh level of heaven attained by eating good food! Tonight, I prepared New Orleans-style barbeque shrimp from the biggest prawns I have ever seen (I called them "mini-lobsters"), fresh from the North Sea. Oooooooo...let me just say, "yum!" (as I am too blissed out for a more intelligent comment). When you come visit us, insist I make these. This shrimp dish is amazing.
