Mike's Grilled Citrus Seafood Dinner

When I accept any new student, they'll usually spend about a month learning about the basics of most all international cuisines, their ingredients, techniques and global herbs and spices. Following that, they can cook anything their crazy hearts and colorful little imaginations can conjure!
This what my newest little renegade student wanted to create last evening for his parents. On his very first attempt at cooking - he chose to grill. Talk about an adventurous little challenge huh? ;0)
Anyway, this entire recipe and presentation is a first time submission by my newer 7 year old student who's Austistic. So Autistic in fact, that he needs to be taught in private sessions. [know that both he and his parents gave me permission to print that] But, check him out fellow Cookpad Cooks and Chefs! No excuses - no boundaries - no limitations! And, check out his photos!
Joey's entire meal was not only crazy easy but, so juicy and delicious! Flavorful and diverse anyway you look at it! I'm so darned proud of you! Great job sweet baby boy!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add everything in the ● Grilled Cilantro Lime Shrimp section to a Ziplock Bag and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes. Refrigerate and occasionally massage bag.
- 2
Preheat oven to 325°.
- 3
Mix everything in the ● Asparagus section. Bake asparagus for 35 minutes at 325°. Check at 30 minutes in for doneness. You'll want them cooked but, still with a slight crisp. Know you can also grill your asparagus. My student opted not to for ease. ;0)
- 4
Fully baked lemonly, cheesy peppered asparagus!
- 5
Clean and heat your grill to high.
- 6
Soak your cedar planks in water for 10 minutes. Rinse and pat salmon dry. Coat salmon with olive oil. Season and add sliced lemons.
- 7
Grill salmon for 8 + minutes depending upon the thickness of your salmon. Try not to open your grills lid while grilling. You'll want that cedar to heat up and smoke your fish!
- 8
Finished grilled King Salmon.
- 9
At the same time, place your marinated jumbo shrimp on a vented BBQ flat plate and grill for 4 minutes.
- 10
Fully BBQ'd Shrimp.
- 11
Feel free to make a quick, easy Hollandaise Sauce for your asparagus. Knoors makes a great one! It only requires whole milk and butter.
- 12
Enjoy!

Mike's Seafood Spinach Enchiladas Mike's Seafood Spinach Enchiladas
You know? Whoever said you can't mix seafood with cheese was a total dumbass. I make Oysters Pappaduex all the time and they're literally dripping with hot cheesy goodness!Anywhoo. Fenway - aka Mar Mar to her die hard fans - also one hell of a talented Chef on this very site - recently posted a recipe for this delectable seafood dish.I tell ya, my students were frothing at the bit to make her recipe last weekend. But, the heavy cream they purchased was soured. With that, other culinary decisions were made for the evening.However, that minor setback in no way would detour my youngest student Avery. He's 6 1/2 but, he's always the first one to remind you, "YA WELL I'M DARN NEAR SEVEN YEARS OLD NOW!" 😆 Freaking adorable! [hell, even my jeep is newer than he is]Anyway, since this is, "Imagination Week," here in the O'Brien Shire AND Avery is a bit of a culinary purist - he took his own shot at Mars delicious seafood enchilada recipe! Talk about taking on a culinary Titan huh?! So, here y'all go! Avery at his 6 [damn near 7 year old] finest!These spinach seafood enchiladas were beyond delicious! Excellent job Avery! And I loved the way you REFUSED to mask any of the seafood flavours! And, man oh man were these suckers rich too boot!Seriously, you very well might want to serve these alongside a chilled Zesty Italian or Lemon Green Parsley Salad to cut the richnes of them. Either way, they were crazy delicious! My students parents & neighbors went NUTS for these! MMOBRIEN -

Mike's Authentic Mexican Seafood Cocktail Mike's Authentic Mexican Seafood Cocktail
I had this delicious seafood packed dish for the first time in Chihuahua, Mexico in a styrofoam cup from a street vendor. She was kind enough to give me her family recipe. I was all of 14 years of age.Believe it or not, the purple onions and veggies - not the seafood - literally made the dish! This is a dish that's all about the chill and vegetables folks! IMHO - the seafood is really just culinary confetti.Employ the freshest, most firm, chilliest, crispy vegetables you can find and you'll have absolute success with this authentic Mexican Seafood Cocktail.It's great for barbecues, picnics and camping!
