When it comes to cooking, it is very important to keep in mind that everyone else started somewhere. I do not know of one person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and ready to go. There’s a good deal of learning which must be carried out as a way to become a prolific cook and then there is definitely room for advancement. Not only do you will need to start with the basics in terms of cooking but you nearly need to start if learning to cook a new cuisine such as Chinese, Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.
This means that at any particular time on your cooking cycle cycles there’s quite probably somebody somewhere that is worse or better in cooking than you personally. Take advantage of this because the best have bad days in terms of cooking. There are several people who cook for several factors. Some cook in order to eat and live while others cook simply because they actually like the process of cooking. Some cook during times of emotional trauma among others cookout of utter boredom. Whatever your reason for cooking or understanding how to cook you need to begin with the fundamentals.
The fantastic news is that after you’ve learned the basics of cooking it is not likely you will ever need to relearn them. This means that you could always buildup and expand your own cooking abilities. Since you find new recipes and better your culinary abilities and talents you will see that preparing your own meals from scratch is much more rewarding than preparing prepackaged meals which can be purchased from the shelves of your regional supermarkets.
Additionally you will discover as your experience and confidence develops you will find your self increasingly more usually improvising as you go and adjusting meals to fulfill your own personal preferences. If you’d like less or more of ingredients or wish to make a recipe a little less or more spicy in flavor that can be made simple alterations along the way so as to achieve this goal. Put simply you will begin in time to create recipes of your personal. And that’s something you won’t necessarily learn when it has to do with basic cooking skills for novices however you would never know if you didn’t master those basic cooking skills.

Steps to make Mike's EZ Cajun Shrimp Creole:
- Dethaw your pre-steamed shrimp.
- Make your own seafood stock. - - Reserve any shrimp fluids from your dethawed shrimp bag and gently pull the tails from your shrimp. Place all the shells and tails and fluids in a pot with 2.5 cups of water. Boil for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve all stock.
- Brine your shrimp in ice water with 2 tbs salt and 1 tbs sugar for 15 minutes in fridge. Yes, you can brine pre-steamed shrimp! :0)
- While waiting, chop your vegetables. Add oil to pot and cook vegetables until they're translucent. Usually about 5 minutes. Not too long tho. You'll want some crisp to your veggies!
- Add your herbs, seasonings, tomato puree and paste plus, 1 cup seafood stock to pot. Mix well. Simmer down for 10 minutes or until your sauce thickens a bit. You'll want your sauce to be hearty and viscous enough to support your plump shrimp. But, thin enough to saturate your rice. If too thick, add additional seafood stock. In the end, if you want your sauce thicker - mix 2 tbs corn starch to 1 tbs water. Mix well and slowly add this slurry to your boiling sauce. It'll thicken up as it simmers so go slow.
- Drain your shrimp [remove ice] and place shrimp in your simmering pot. Simmer only until shrimp are hot or, your sauce has returned to a simmer. Remember, your shrimp are already pre-steamed and you don't want to over cook them.
- Boil your rice. Use whatever seafood stock you have left for that boil to season your rice.
- Serve hot - over white rice. Garnish dish with green onions and parsley. Serve with additional Louisiana Hot Sauce. - - Enjoy my friends!
