BAR-B-QUED SHRIMP

1 lb. shrimp

Olive oil

Cracked black pepper

Salt

Lemon juice

Tabasco

Lea & Perrin's

Butter

Place whole shrimp, keep shells on, in single layer in oven-proof dish.
Drizzle olive oil on top of shrimp.

Pepper shrimp until they are black; when you think you have enough pepper, add more.

Add lots of salt, lemon juice, Tabasco

Lea & Perrin's.

Remember you are seasoning through the shells.

Cut up butter on top of shrimp and broil until shrimp are cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.

Be sure and taste to see if they are done.

Serve these with newspaper on the table and lots of napkins.

Have French bread to sop up the oil and encourage guests to eat the shells,
as well, if river shrimp are used.

With cold beer and green salad, you have the makings of a great informal party.
Base the amount of shrimp on the number of guests.

BAKED HALIBUT:

Because of its size, halibut is cut into slices and sold in the form of
steaks.

Halibut slices are often sauted, but they make a delicious dish when
baked with tomatoes and flavored with onion, lemon, and bay leaf.

2 c. tomatoes

Few slices onion

1 bay leaf

1 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

2 thin slices bacon

1 Tb. flour

2 lb. halibut steak

Heat the tomatoes, onion, and bay leaf in water.

Add the salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes.

Cut the bacon into small squares, try it out in a pan, and into this
fat stir the flour. Pour this into the hot mixture, remove the bay
leaf, and cook until the mixture thickens.

Put the steaks into a baking dish, pour the sauce over them, and bake in a
slow oven for about 45 minutes.

Remove with the sauce to a hot platter and serve
