Meat Archives - The FrangloSaxon Cooks

Hello, I'm Carine Clary and I'm the FrangloSaxon.

What you'll find here is food that reflects everybody's cooking. Creole we know. Cajun we know. But how about Croatian or Vietnamese....or Italian or German....or the underestimated plain Southern food they do so well in the upstate parishes?

Caramelized Lemongrass Shrimp is a simple stir fry but the full rich flavor comes from the interplay of the flavorings and the fats. Specifically, the fat in the shrimp heads and the coconut oil in which they are sauteed. So I don’t want to sound like a cranky old diner waitress here – but to fully…

When you’re thinking of ordering Crabmeat Maison at Galatoire’s your first question should always be, “How’s the crab today?” This is code for determining the presence of shell fragments and sweetness. It should be free of the first and brimming with the second. Once you’ve been given the thumbs up by your waiter you’ll want it…
