Now that Sam's Club is selling "Prime" filet mignons and ribeye steaks, and they are also selling U4/5 prawns

I decided to give them a shot--grilled the steaks and 2- of the prawns on our Green Egg--perfection--Arugala/tomato salad

Bottle of a good red zin from ABC

My out of pocket cost was close to $60.00--Can't get a meal at any restaurant here that could match it for quality & taste--and if they could it would have to be over $150.00 to make a profit

I made this in the crock pot. Extremely good but took a few hours to prepare with the shopping, prior cooking and other stuff.

When we lived on a boat and were cruising the crock pot was our best friend , especially after 10 hour crossings--west palm to the bahamas ( lucaya) and dog island to cedar key

I'd be interested in knowing where Sam's Club's prawns come from.

[Chatbrat]

They're farm raised Indonesia--was skeptical, but they were deveined with shell on , when marinated with lime , cilantro, olive oil and saffron--wow--does anyone really know where the shell fish that is served in the restaurants here --come from?==most of the time I won't buy farm raised shrimp-

Well I met a lot of people raised on a farm and they were really the nicest people. so I assume the same for shrimp

[Chatbrat]

This is fact-if you are health conscious--stay away from TILAPIA--it is worse than eating bacon and its farm raised

Thank you for this info. I love to cook great food at home. Your recipe looks simple and yummy as well. Do you also marinade your steak?

[Chatbrat]

Just rubbed the steak with olive oil, black pepper and garlic powder--got the grill which uses lump charcoal to 650--seared the steaks on both sides then lowered the temp to 450--removed the steaks when internal temp was 120-tented them for 10 minutes-- while the steaks were under the tent -thats when I did the prawns

Very important get the steaks to room temp before grilling--I have a remote reading probe that alerts me to desired temp

I know you are very picky about food. You might be interested in this article, especially page 2 of it. How Safe Is Your Shrimp? - Consumer Reports

Around here, the shrimp I trust is wild caught Florida from Fresh Market. Or something from the local seafood market, Lighthouse. It's worth the extra price. Fresh Market used to have American farm-raised under their own strict standards and published a pamphlet about how safe it was. But they don't carry it anymore, and their farm-raised is from out of the country.

Here is who is processing the seafood in Asia.

I was at Sam's today. I saw nothing larger that 31-40. Where did you find them?

[Chatbrat]

Near the lobster tails l they normally have u/15 nearby-------- and go on line check out Tilapia--you're eating the equivalent of lard with fins--very , very bad fish

[MrGolf]

CB is correct about he Tilapia. I used to eat it but no more.
