Good Friday Dinner just happened to be meatless. I did not plan it to highlight bounty of the sea, but Costco had a seafood road show so that is how it turned out. I got some halibut filets as well as some with the bone in for use at a later date. To accompany that, I picked up 4 colossal scallops and some really nice looking shrimps. I blackened the halibut with cast iron on the egg and the scallops were not far behind. The shrimps were marinated in a vinegar dressing. I had an onion which was about to get tossed and for some reason decided to stuff the onion teepees with the shrimp and put them on a skewer. They looked like a dog collar from an animal who had just gotten back from the Vet. What an amazing little treat that turned out to be. I also blanched off some carrots, and slow poached them in butter & dill before charring them on the egg for additional color, texture, and flavor. In hindsight… my cast iron skillet was way too cool for what I was trying to do, so I did not get proper doneness or texture on the scallops or halibut. It is a good thing that the shrimps were there to save the day.
