    For the seventh consecutive year Bobby (A-58) has piously submitted a Christmas greeting card to our site, each one arriving in an unmistakably festive envelope. This year's submission continues the tradition of sending in Christmas greeting along with a tasty recipe.

    And the all important recipe, a Spicy Shrimp Courtbouillon (stew) over Rice.

    I met the artiste at a Junior League show in Baton Rouge back in October when I bought these cards. Talked to him a bit about getting a better spread of recipes. He said that he just paints pictures and has them turned into Christmas cards and that his wife handles the recipes. I asked if I could submit recipes for consideration. He said that I could but they usually order them in 100,000 batches. Dang, I sure don’t need that many but at least I know where to find him to try to slip them in. His wife usually modifies the recipes a bit to simplify the cooking process for those who don’t know their way around the kitchen very well. We’ll see.

    When I cook this recipe I think that I’ll add a pound of lump crabmeat into the mix. That will make it pretty danged decadent eh!
