0:12

0:15

0:17
shrimp wraps and later Michaels gonna be
0:21
stopping in to help me make a tasty
0:23

0:27

0:33

0:36

0:38
[Music]
0:44
[Music]
0:48
I'm so excited y'all I can't hardly
0:51
stand it it's the beginning of summer
0:54
perfect day it's not too hot and I'm all
0:58
about summertime favorites today you
1:01
know in these recipes I really could
1:03
cook inside but why when I've got a
1:06
great day out here in the smokehouse and
1:08
I can take advantage of the water and
1:11
the and the warmth and just the fun of
1:14
being in the smokehouse
1:16
so the first recipe that I want to share
1:19
with y'all is a succulent lime shrimp
1:23
lettuce wrap I'm gonna marinate my
1:26
shrimp now in a lime marinade and I'm
1:29
gonna start with three tablespoons of
1:31
fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons of
1:34
vegetable oil 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1:39
1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger
1:45
gives you a little heat and a whole lot
1:49
of flavor and now I'm gonna toss in one
1:53
clove of minced garlic now I've got my
1:56
shrimp here peel deveined detailed and
2:03
I'm just gonna put them over in our
2:05
marinade and I'm gonna put this down
2:07
here in the refrigerator and I'm gonna
2:09
let it marinate for 30 minutes now
2:13
you'll want to make sure you don't let
2:15
it over marinate because this will get
2:17
mushy oh and very quickly if you over
2:20
marinate it so we don't want to do that
2:22
now I've got something that's been here
2:24
in the refrigerator about 30 minutes
2:35
and you can see what it looks like it's
2:38
taken on a a little darker color because
2:42
of the soy sauce you'll want to take
2:45
your shrimp after marinating and just
2:47
dice them up into nice bite-sized pieces
2:51
well now step back here to the grill and
2:58
in our pan I'm gonna put just a little
3:03
bit of vegetable oil not much just a
3:06
little bit and to my pan I'm gonna add a
3:10
half of a diced red bell pepper and I'm
3:15
gonna add one can of water chestnuts
3:17
this gonna give us a nice crunch in our
3:22
raft and I've just dice those up about
3:25
the size of the of the bell peppers so
3:29
we're just gonna let that saute for a
3:31
few minutes and in the meantime I'm
3:35
gonna come up here and I'm gonna dice up
3:40
some green onions I'm gonna give them
3:46
just a little bit of split right there
3:49
on the white end and I'm gonna throw
3:52
these in the pan with my bell peppers
3:54
and my water chestnuts so we've got a
3:58
lot of nice flavors going on in this
4:00
don't we the lime the the ginger the
4:03
onions the bell pepper the water
4:05
chestnuts okay
4:11
well throw those in there so you see
4:16
what I mean about being able to prepare
4:18
this dish inside but it's just so great
4:22
to be out side today it's just fabulous
4:28
all right so these are coming along
4:30
nicely so we're gonna let those sauté
4:35
for a minute and then it's gonna be time
4:38
to add our shrimp let's toss in our
4:41
shrimp we're gonna cook them until
4:45
they're okay there we go our shrimp are
4:49
in and we're gonna stir these together
4:53
with our vegetables until they're not
4:56
quite done but almost all right so our
5:05
shrimp are almost done now I'm gonna
5:08
just pour in one tablespoon of soy sauce
5:13
we certainly don't want them overcooked
5:17
so now we're ready to put our wrap
5:20
together now I'm gonna use the Boston
5:24
lettuce leaf for my wrap now you can use
5:27
an iceberg lettuce you can use a fancy
5:31
green curly lettuce you can use romaine
5:34
but I love the velvety feel of this
5:38
Boston lettuce so now all we're gonna do
5:42
is just spoon our lime marinated shrimp
5:50
into our lettuce and we're just gonna
5:54
tuck and roll what a great snack this is
5:57
gonna be and very low in calories
6:06
you know if you didn't like the shrimp a
6:09
lot of people even allergic to shrimp
6:10
you can always use chicken on these just
6:20
want to drain that so your lettuce
6:24
leaves won't get soggy Anya
6:37
I just have to taste this you know this
6:41
is just almost like a snap before a real
6:45
meal mmm mmm this has a little Asian
6:53
Flair you know along with the ginger and
6:55
the lime ooh when we come back out I'm
6:59
gonna be cooking up a basil chicken on
7:02
the grill and for dessert a heavenly
7:05
strawberry shortcake
7:06
and later Michaels gonna be stopping in
7:09
to help me make a tasty macaroni salad
7:12
so don't go anywhere y'all hey y'all
7:19
welcome back today's show is of all
7:22
about summertime favorites and the next
7:25
dish is a fresh basil chicken now I've
7:28
got boneless skinless chicken breasts
7:30
here and I'm gonna start by just
7:33
seasoning them up with a little salt
7:35
little pepper
7:36
oops all right now back here on the
7:42
grill I've got a stick of melted butter
7:46
and I'm gonna wash my hands just very
7:50
quickly I don't want to get back
7:55
chicken on my other foods yet we're
7:58
gonna get it on it soon enough
8:01
alright I'm gonna take some fresh basil
8:05
and I'm just gonna chop this up you know
8:10
I think basil is probably one of my
8:12
favorite herbs as far as the smell of it
8:17
and the flavor of it
8:20
all right there we go
8:24
we've got that minced up pretty good
8:26
y'all will have to excuse me I just got
8:30
through making lime shrimp ramps lettuce
8:34
wraps and I have slow stuff all over me
8:42
so you know please excuse the way I look
8:45
but you know things happen especially
8:47
when I'm outside at the grill okay now
8:54
I'm gonna take my chicken and I'm gonna
8:58
brush it with this basil butter and it's
9:02
gonna give our chicken such flavor and
9:05
these are beautiful chicken breasts
9:08
nice fat plump ones okay
9:11
so let's walk over to the grill we're
9:17
gonna have to be careful and keep an eye
9:21
on our chicken because it's loaded with
9:26
that butter and we all know that butter
9:29
burns
9:34
and I'm gonna wash my hands very quickly
9:37
so why our chicken is cooking I want to
9:41
make another special butter that I'm
9:44
gonna serve along with this chicken I've
9:47
got one stick of butter that I've
9:49
brought to room temperature I've got two
9:52
tablespoons of minced fresh basil I've
9:57
got one tablespoon of fresh grated
10:00
Parmesan cheese and 1/4 of a teaspoon of
10:03
garlic powder I'm just gonna whip this
10:10
up
10:12
and you can see how easily that came
10:15
together because my butter was so nice
10:18
and soft
10:21
okay so just that quickly now you could
10:26
if you wanted to serve this with a fresh
10:30
brawled fish or fresh grilled fish or a
10:33
steak all you need to do is form this
10:37
into a log and wrap it up and waxed
10:40
paper and put it in the freezer and then
10:43
you could pull it out and slice it and
10:46
have everybody a little slice to go on
10:50
top of their fish chicken or meat so
10:54
there we go that's all ready that was
10:55
super simple alright let's come over
10:58
here and check on our chicken because I
11:00
want to baste it one more time with the
11:03
basil butter oh and look that grill that
11:07
fire is just perfect you can see it's
11:11
cooking nicely mmm all right let's give
11:16
them a quick flip looks fabulous
11:29
all right I'm gonna take a quick break
11:32
when we come back we're gonna finish up
11:35
our chicken and guess what I'm fixing
11:37

12:42
on to the next dish which is a wonderful
12:45
strawberry shortcake
12:46
now we're gonna have several layers to
12:49
this strawberry shortcake and we're
12:51
gonna make us a gelatin layer I've got 1
12:54
cup of sugar I've got 3 tablespoons of
12:59
cornstarch and I want to whisk those
13:03
together because I don't want this one
13:05
open up on me and now I'm gonna add 3
13:09
tablespoons of a strawberry gelatin now
13:17
I'm gonna add 1 cup of water and I'm
13:21
gonna move this over to my grill and I'm
13:24
gonna cook this just until it thickens
13:36
all right now I happen to have some of
13:39
this already cooked and cooled down this
13:41
is gonna become really thick after you
13:45
cool it can you see the consistency of
13:47
that I mean it's really really thick to
13:52
our gelatin I'm gonna add two cups of
13:55
fresh strawberries that I've D stemmed
13:58
and sliced in half and I'm just gonna
14:02
fold those into our gelatin mixture all
14:07
right now I'm gonna come over here and
14:10
I'm gonna make our custard I've got 1 8
14:12
ounce package of cream cheese
14:14
that I brought to room temperature and
14:16
I'm gonna add 1 can of sweetened
14:20
condensed milk
14:23
[Music]
14:24
I could just eat this stuff straight out
14:27
of the can so good all right now we're
14:31
just gonna cream these together
14:43
whoa I couldn't do that again if I tried
14:48
all right now I'm gonna fold in one
14:52
12-ounce topping you know the frozen
14:57
topping that you just pick up in the
14:59
freezer at your grocery store all right
15:04
so that's already taken on the look of a
15:06
custard Ignat okay
15:09
so we've got two of our layers ready now
15:13
we're gonna work on the cake now I've
15:16
just bought a cake from the the deli at
15:19
the grocery store an angel food cake now
15:22
you can make this from scratch but you
15:25
know by the time we get all our stuff on
15:27
it who's gonna know the difference so
15:31
I'm just gonna cut this up in cubes you
15:35
could really just pull it apart probably
15:38
pull easier then it'll cut so I'm gonna
15:41
take half the cake and toss it in the
15:45
bottom of my trifle dish this is gonna
15:48
be so pretty and now I'm gonna add a
15:52
little bit of my strawberries
15:59
now I'm gonna put me a nice fat layer of
16:03
custard on top you know recipes like
16:13
this just make me giggle alright now
16:17
we're gonna come in there with the rest
16:19
of our cake alright
16:21
now let's put on the other half of our
16:25
strawberries just right on top of our
16:30
cake looks delicious you could put
16:37
whatever you want to on top of this I
16:40
think I just want to put my face alright
16:48
now I just want a garnishing with a few
16:51
strawberries or we could just do half
16:57
strawberry pieces on top just like this
17:00
I think that's right pretty I love
17:05
seeing the inside of a cut strawberry I
17:07
think they're so pretty
17:09
the little fresh mint and look at our
17:16
fabulous dessert see if I can do this
17:22
without messing it out
17:31

17:37
big on flavor that was almost a rhyme
